“…Engines have been designed to eliminate deposit-prone components, and to include an erosion margin in aerodynamic blade design (13). Blade design, influenced by the results of erosion studies on impingement angle and material modulus, shows promise to help minimize the dust problem (57). Gas turbine regenerator design might anticipate a certain degree of fouling from dust deposits by over-surfacing so that the effects of fouling are counteracted (58).…”

The object of this paper is to present in one place most of the documented experience that shows the interrelationship of gas turbines, dust and air cleaners; and to compare opinions on what an air cleaner must do to prevent a gas turbine from failing because of air-borne contaminants. This experience covers three types of gas turbine air cleaners in both the laboratory and the field, on wheeled and tracked vehicles, and on helicopters and air cushion vehicles. The consensus is that gas turbines do need air cleaners if they are going to compete with piston engines in their environment. The information is presented so that a person specifying a gas turbine air cleaner knows what factors he must consider, and can determine the relative importance of the features of the air cleaner that would best suit his needs.
