Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of an IBH system that has two conduits, which are positioned close to a downstream end of a silencer section. This arrangement may reduce the overall pressure drop associated with the inlet system. This arrangement may also promote a substantially uniform mixing between the cooler ambient air and the warmer heated air.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a compressor including a compressor inlet and a compressor extraction outlet; an inlet system fluidly connected to the compressor, the inlet system including: a plenum including a first end portion that extends to a second end portion through an intermediate portion; the first end portion is orientated in a direction substantially parallel to a centerline of the compressor and defines an inlet for receiving ambient air; and the second…
