Patent number: 11148087Abstract: An air intake separator system includes a plurality of vanes adapted to remove fluid or precipitation from an air stream, wherein the vanes are operably coupled to tubular rods with an interference fit. Applying an elevated temperature heat transfer fluid to the plurality of vanes removes fluid or precipitation from an air stream in order to prevent ice formation. Likewise, applying a lower temperature heat transfer fluid can cool the vanes.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Veotec Americas LLCInventors: Peter Valsler, Michael Handley, Philip Pendrill, Andrew Russell

Publication number: 20080092501Abstract: A filter element for removing contaminant from a dirty stream, such as an air filter element for removing and/or coalescing liquid contaminant from an incoming dirty air stream. The filter element has a polygonal shape, with radiused corners. Such a shape mitigates pleat bunching, reduces airflow resistance, thus increasing in the volume of incoming air when compared to conventional cylindrical filter elements having the same surface area and pleat heights. Examples of polygonal shapes include rectangular (including square) and triangular. The filter element may be tapered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Timothy Sporre, Steven Johnson, Bruce Johnson, Michael Handley

Patent number: 7297173Abstract: A hopper arrangement includes a damper arrangement selectively moveable in a plurality of positions to manipulate access to the interior volume. A first position includes a standby position wherein the enclosure and the damper arrangement block access to the interior volume. Another position includes a pressure-relief position wherein the interior volume is open to a continuous airflow path through the container. In some arrangements, there is an evacuation position wherein the damper arrangement allows access to the interior volume and blocks a continuous airflow path through the container. A gas turbine intake system includes a hood, a filter arrangement downstream of the hood and a collection hopper. The collection hopper is in airflow communication with an upstream side of the filter arrangement and downstream of the hood. The collection hopper includes a standby position and a pressure-relief position. A method of filtering air includes drawing air into a hood and then into a filter arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2004Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Dominique Renwart, Michael Handley, Herman Vanormelingen
