Clarcor filters reach 300 installations

The number of gas turbines using Clarcor's clearcurrentPRO inlet filters has reached 300 installations worldwide.
The number of gas turbines using Clarcor's clearcurrentPRO inlet filters has reached 300 installations worldwide.

The clearcurrent PRO filter was made with a focus on reducing gas turbine degradation and was part of an in-depth study by the Clarcor Industrial Air team to monitor the performance of the filter for several years at a variety of coastal and inland installations to see the effects a filter has on actual compressor performance. Previously, filters were evaluated using only laboratory tests.

The team found that inlet systems installed with clearcurrent PRO helped maintain output and heat rates, and improved overall turbine efficiency compared with earlier technologies. 

Filters have been installed in North, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, India, China, Southeast Asia and Australia.
