Special considerations must be made for gas turbines in cold climates. If natural gas turbines experience extreme cold and icing situations, functionality could be impaired to the point of dropping power to thousands of people. In addition to anti-icing systems, which prevent ice from forming on the intake filter systems, operators should also have warm …

One of Eldridge’s long-time OEM customers needed to modify the design of an existing trailer turbine package to instead use a heavy gas fuel source. The customer needed our assistance in designing an external enclosure exhaust system that would evacuate any fugitive emissions from the heavy gas fuel supply. In undertaking this project, we faced …

Winter is here for most parts of the U.S. and for gas turbine operators, that means it is time to make sure that your anti-icing system is heating well at the correct times. The purpose of an anti-icing system is to prevent ice from forming on inlet air components. Ice build-up from a poorly performing …

While there is a risk in warm climate areas for a turbine package to experience freezing weather and have a need for the type of gas turbine ventilation solutions we discussed in our last blog on cold climates, in this article we are going to discuss ventilation challenges for gas turbines in warm climates. Counteracting …

From time to time parts need to be replaced in any industrial ventilation system. When replacing parts for a gas turbine ventilation systems, system performance, fire protection, and noise abatement all need to be taken into account. You want to have as little downtime as possible and that is why we suggest buying replacement equipment …
