Customized Admission Pipeline for Gas Turbine, Air Inlet Duct for Gas Turbine Intake System
Gas turbine admission pipeline (inlet duct) is a core component of the gas turbine air intake system. It connects the filter house outlet to the gas-turbine compressor inlet. It delivers filtered clean air steadily to the compressor, smooths airflow distribution, reduces flow resistance and pressure drop, isolates vibration, compensates thermal displacement, and prevents air leakage. Reliable admission pipeline performance avoids airflow distortion, protects compressor blades, stabilizes unit output and improves overall operating efficiency for gas-fired and combined-cycle power plants.
We provide fully customized admission pipelines for heavy-duty, industrial and aeroderivative gas turbines. According to gas-turbine model, intake air flow rate, operating temperature, site layout, installation space and environmental conditions, we complete aerodynamic optimization, structural design, material selection, expansion compensation configuration, noise-reduction treatment and modular fabrication. Our service covers new power-plant construction, unit retrofit & upgrade, and replacement for existing projects.
Key Features
- Aerodynamically Optimized Flow Path Design: Professional CFD simulation for internal flow field. Optimized duct profile and transition section structure minimize airflow turbulence and pressure drop, avoid airflow distortion at compressor inlet, guarantee uniform air supply and reduce power consumption loss of gas turbine.
- Reasonable Thermal Expansion & Vibration Compensation Structure: Equipped with high-performance expansion joints to absorb thermal deformation and multi-directional displacement generated during unit startup-shutdown and load variation. Properly configured hangers, supports and limit structures isolate vibration transmission, reduce additional stress on compressor nozzle, and prevent deformation, cracking and air leakage.
- High-strength Housing & Anti-corrosion Treatment: Adopt carbon steel or galvanized steel plate for main structure. Optional stainless steel for coastal high-salt-fog environment. Internal anti-wear coating and external anti-corrosion painting ensure long-term outdoor service life. Optional built-in silencer sections to meet plant noise-control requirements.
- Strict Fabrication & Quality Assurance: Modular pre-fabrication in workshop. Precise welding and full-range non-destructive testing for weld seams. Strict dimensional inspection guarantees accurate alignment during on-site assembly. Modular delivery shortens field installation cycle and lowers site construction workload.
Application Scenarios
Suitable for heavy-duty gas turbines, industrial gas turbines, aeroderivative gas turbines, combined-cycle power plants and distributed energy stations. Widely used for new-project supporting, intake system reconstruction, performance upgrade and spare-part replacement of existing gas-turbine units.
