INLET FILTER HOUSES

Inlet Filter Houses
AMCO inlet filter systems are designed to protect and enhance the performance of gas turbine engines, regardless of the environmental conditions. Through quality engineering and manufacturing, our systems provide solutions to the needs of the industry in a cost-effective manner. No matter what environment your site is located in, or your specific needs, AMCO can give you excellent answers for:

Air Filtration
Fogging Systems
Evaporative Cooling
Cooling Coils
Moisture Removal
Anti-Icing
Retrofit or Complete Replacement

The ATS Filter Systems
The ATS systems are AMCO’s static filter systems for gas turbines. We have three types of static systems to choose from to provide high quality inlet air. In designing a filter house for our customers each stage of our systems have a distinct function, which is vital to the performance of the turbine. The selection of each component depends on customer requirements and environmental conditions. All system configurations will depend on the needs of the customer.

The ATS1 is a static system that uses a mini pleat barrier filter as the backbone of the design. Normally a pre-filter is mated to the face of the barrier filter to remove the larger particles from the air, thus prolonging the barrier filter’s life.

The ATS2 is a static horizontal flow system using a dual cartridge design. This configuration uses a cylindrical cartridge paired with a conical filter. These filters are installed over a tri-pod support arm or with a twist-lock, mounting to a vertical grid plate. For extending the life of these filters a pre-filter wrap is a cost effective option. This design provides a smaller footprint for larger inlet systems.

The ATS3 is another static horizontal flow system. This design uses a single cylindrical cartridge filter. This filter uses the twist-lock mount to secure to the vertical grid plate. The pre-filter wrap option extends the life of the filters. This is good for smaller inlet systems, giving a both cost-saving and space-saving design.

The ATP Filter Systems
The ATP systems are AMCO’s self-cleaning pulsed filter systems for gas turbines. In the pulsed filter systems, as dust build up on the surface of the filters, the pressure drop of the system rises. At a pre-set maximum pressure drop, the system automatically begins pulsing, sequencing from the top row downward. Once the pressure drop over the system reaches a pre-set lower pressure drop, the pulsing stops. When the system starts pulsing again, it will begin sequencing from the row where it had previously stopped. The pulse filter systems use an accelerator nozzle, which provides efficient cleaning. This prevents the overloading of dust and prolongs the life of the filters. Like our static systems, we have three types of pulse systems to choose from.

The ATP1 is an ‘up and over’ pulse system that using the single cartridge filter. This filter uses the twist-lock mount to secure to the horizontal grid plate.

The ATP2 is pulsed horizontal flow system using the dual cartridge design. This configuration uses a cylindrical cartridge paired with a conical filter. These filters are installed over a tri-pod support arm or with a twist-lock, mounting to a vertical grid plate. This design configuration is similar to the static ATS2 design, but is slightly wider and is pulsed. This design too provides a smaller footprint for larger inlet systems.

The ATP3 is another pulsed horizontal flow system. This design uses a single cylindrical cartridge filter. This filter uses the twist-lock mount to secure to the vertical grid plate. This design configuration is similar to the ATS3 design, but is slightly wider and is pulsed. Like the ATS3, this is good for smaller inlet systems, giving a both cost-saving and space-saving design.
