OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
DESCRIPTION
6 Golden Rules to maintain the Highest Performance

of your
Donaldson Self-Cleaning Filter System for Turbo m achinery
1. Availability of Compressed Air :
Compressed air at 7 barg (100 psig) nominal at the required flow at the filter house connection point is required at all times.
Check points
Visual: Pressure gauge on the filter house compressed air line. Compressed air pressure should reach 7barg (100psig) before each new pulse.
Electric: Signal from the low pressure alarm switch on the compressed air line.
Maintenance tip
Replace compressed air filter annually to avoid restriction on compressed air line and dirt carry over.
2. No Water / Liquids in Compressed Air :

Compressed air should be clean and free of any oil and water at all times to avoid damage to the cleaning valves and filter elements.
Control Methods
Drain pressure regulator/filter assembly.
Drain low point on compressed air line.
Maintenance tip
Replace or maintain properly the draining mechanism annually to avoid liquid carry over.
3. Pulse Cleaning System Set-up :

Filter elements should be pulse cleaned as frequently as possible, and even on a continuous basis for best performances and longest life.
Control point
Cleaning start/stop settings value on the control pressure switch.
ON-time/Off-time on each sequencer card.
Pulsing cycle is initiated by Start/Stop signal from control pressure switch and clock timer.
Each valve should be pulsing during a full cleaning cycle.
Operation tip
For harsh and dusty environment the system can be switched to MANUAL mode for continuous pulsing
4. Pulse Solenoid valves operation :

Control point:
The cleaning sequence should be a continuous sequence of pulse, each spaced with the same down time.
The valve pulse noise should be audible, sharp and brief.
Any discontinuity in the sequence or slow/low valve pulse noise would indicate a failure in the pulsing system.
A single and full cleaning cycle, manually actuated on the control cabinet allows for a rapid check-up.
5. Filter elements installation :

Filter elements must be correctly installed for providing the expected performance.
Maintenance tips:
Before installing new filters, clean mating surface on the tube sheet
Before installing new filters, thoroughly clean each filter retention bolt with a metal brush.
If hardware is damaged or corroded always replace with new hardware.
Ensure all element supports are in good shape and good condition.
Install new filter element with new gasket washer and filter retention nut.
Before tightening the filter element, check its perpendicular alignment with the tube sheet .
Tightened the filter retention nut at the torque specified in the O&M Manual. Do not exceed 20Nm!
After tightening, one should not be able to rotate by hand the filter element around its axis.
All filter elements should be from same type, installed at the same time.

DESCRIPTION
See figure 1 for main component parts of the air filter. The GDX sys-
tem is a single stage self-cleaning air filter utilising conical and cy-
lindrical Donaldson filter cartridges, sequentially cleaned by a re-
verse flow pulse of compressed air.
Depending on the volume of air to be handled, the system consists

of one or more modules, which are bolted together and mounted to
a central clean air plenum chamber or duct.

DESCRIPTION
2.1.1 Functioning
Figure 2: Function of air filter
Combustion air is aspirated by the turbine through the filter.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 10/33
DESCRIPTION
The air intake is located at the front side of the filter.
Entrance into the intake plenum is protected by the inlet hoods.
These hoods and plenum protect the cartridges against foreign ob-
ject damage, excessive ingestion of rain, UV rays and serves at the
same time to ensure a downward airflow through the cartridges.
A quantity of high efficiency filter cartridges, combining conical and

cylindrical filter elements, is attached to the vertical module plate
(tube sheet).
During normal operation, ambient air flows downwards between the

elements, through the filter cartridges into the clean air plenum.
Blowpipes are installed in the clean air plenum, one blowpipe for
two element sets.
Cleaning is accomplished by intermittently injecting compressed air

through the blowpipes. Each pulse of air from the blowpipe into the
filter cartridge provides a shock wave inside the filter cartridge and a
momentary reverse flow.
These actions together provide the necessary cleaning energy.
Many of the dust particles agglomerate on the media to form a thin

cake.
When pulsed, they come off in larger masses than when they were
deposited.
The possibility that these larger particles will be re-entrained when

the normal flow is re-established, is reduced.
The clean air plenum pressure is monitored and cleaning is initiated

when the differential pressure becomes higher than a pre-set value.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 11/33
DESCRIPTION
Cleaning continues until the pressure decreases to a lower pre-set

value. The dust which is pulsed-off from the cartridges drops down
into the dust evacuation hopper which is fitted with an exhaust fan.
Since this fan is running at the same time as the turbine is in opera-
tion, the dust falling down into the hopper is automatically blown
away to the atmosphere.
2.2 Performance and design characteristics
2.2.1 Filtration
The single stage filtration of the filter is provided by conical and cy-
lindrical filter elements, produced by Donaldson and using proprie-
tary materials exclusive to Donaldson.
Inertial separators and pre-filters, generally used as first or second

stages of filtration in traditional "3-stage" turbine filter systems are
not required in the GDX design. These extra stages were required
to reduce premature plugging of the rectangular filter cells used in
these systems. The high efficiency filter elements in the GDX sys-
tem are automatically cleaned during the turbine operation and they
do not require these extra stages thanks to the automatic cleaning
feature of the filter.
The cartridge filter medium has been used by Donaldson Company,

for several years in filtering combustion air for gas and diesel recip-
rocating engines as well as gas turbine engines.

Table 2: Efficiency of elements
Particle count efficiency on a clean element is remarkably high,

even on particles of 0.5 m. The capture efficiency is practically to-
tal on the particles of 5m and virtually total on particles of 1 m af-
ter an initial loading period of a few hundred grams.
These efficiencies, provided by the Donaldson filter elements, en-

sure proper protection of the machines against both dust and alka-
line salts. This has been confirmed by extensive field experience in
most environments on both industrial and aero derivative engines.
2.2.2 Airflow
Both the airflow pattern and the specified flow rates have been cal-
culated to improve filtration and pulse cleaning of the filters.
During pulse cleaning, normal flow through two element sets is in-
terrupted for about 0.1 second.
The effect of this interruption on the nominal flow of the turbine is

negligible because only one set of filter elements is cleaned at one
time.
2.2.3 Pulse cleaning

Extensive laboratory testing and field experiences with pulse clean-
ing filters have led to optimisation of the pressure, flow, and time pa-
rameters.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 13/33
DESCRIPTION
The parameters necessary for efficient cleaning of these filter car-

tridges are given in section 2.4
Each pulse of air from the nozzle into the blowpipe above each ele-
ment set provides both a shock wave inside the filter cartridge and a
momentary reverse flow. Together this provides the cleaning energy
necessary.
Since many of the dust particles agglomerate on the media and

form a thin cake, when pulsed, they come off in larger masses than
when they were deposited, thereby reducing the possibility that they
will be re-entrained when normal flow is re-established.
Figure 3: Pulse cleaning of filter elements
The self-cleaning filter pressure drop begins at a lower value: about

300 Pa.
The dust accumulation on the filter element causes the pressure

drop !"#$"%&'()*+)",(*-.*//01

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 14/33
DESCRIPTION
The module clean air plenum pressure (vacuum) is monitored and

cleaning is initiated when this pressure drop !"#$"%&"'#(')*"!*)-set
level with reference to ambient.
Cleaning continues until the !"+),*)%$)$"&-"&')".-/)*"!*)-set limit.
After some time, depending upon the environmental conditions, the

lower set value might not be reached anymore and the filter house
will come into a continuous pulsing mode. The pressure drop will
then become stabilised approximately between 750 and 1000 Pa
depending on the environment and the dust type to be filtered.
The start and stop parameters for pulse cleaning are shown in section 2.4
2.3 Description of the cleaning system

The following sections describe the physical, electrical and pneu-
matic configuration of the air inlet filter system and/or ducting.
2.3.1 Physical
Donaldson utilises standard modules to make up the many configu-
rations of product offered for large gas turbine applications. The
module used in constructing this GDX-type filter is 4 element pairs
wide.
This filter module section consists of combined filter module and fan
hopper
The module sections contain element pairs, combining both conical

and cylindrical filter elements which are sequentially cleaned by re-
verse flow pulses of compressed air. These element pairs provide
clean combustion air to the turbine.
The air filter control box is described in section 2.3.2. of this chapter.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 15/33
DESCRIPTION
Each filter module assembly is made up of the following major sub-

assemblies:
Filter Module Assembly - contains filter element pairs mounted

to tube sheet.
Air inlet hoods mounted on the module - make up the first sec-
tions of the air filter, mount directly on the filter module assem-
blies and provide protection for the filter elements from the ef-
fects of rain, snow and sun.
Inlet Treatment in Hoods - The inlet hoods may optionally contain
droplet separator panels or bird screens. Each is used for different
environmental requirements.
The droplet separator panels are a wave form type drift eliminator
which separates the water droplets from the ambient airflow before
it enters the barrier filter section. This system also includes a propri-
etary D-Fog system to further reduce moisture.

This air intake filter has six modules. During one cleaning cycle the
filter elements of these modules of the complete air intake system
are cleaned.
There are five manifold junction boxes per filter module. The power
leads to these points will be activated at all times.
All electrical controls are installed in weatherproof enclosures to IP

65 protection.
The control box must be earthed.

DESCRIPTION
2.3.3 Pneumatic
Compressed air at 7 bar (effective) is supplied to the filter manifold
by a supplied compressor. A filter/regulator with automatic drain is
installed on the compressed air piping at a low point of the filter.
Shut-off valves are included to isolate the manifolds for repairs
and/or inspections. The compressed air pressure can be checked at
any time via a pressure transmitter + pressure gauge located on the
pressure regulator assembly.
The compressed air temperature at the pneumatic valves should not exceed
80C, to prevent damage to the valve diaphragms.
DANGER
Hazardous gases
Gas will cause death or injury
Do not use hazardous gas in compressed air supply
2.3.4 Evaporative cooler system

The cooler holds the special media panels (cellulose) used to drive
water on a vertical portion of the inlet air section.
Water is pumped from a sump and is sent to the top of every level of
the cooler module. Flow regulators are provided to ensure a correct
water delivery on every module.
Water feeding tubes "spray" water onto a manifold, which distributes

the water over the whole area of a distribution pad; this ensures
even water distribution into the panels. Water flows freely inside
those "honeycomb" panels while filtered air passes transversally
across those panels.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 20/33
DESCRIPTION
Water evaporating from the media panels is thus transferred to the

inlet air; the increase of relative humidity in the air leads to a de-
crease of the sensible (or dry bulb) air temperature as illustrated on
the enclosed Psychometric Chart (see fig.6).
Water that is not evaporated is collected at the bottom of every

cooler level and flows down to the sump.
Demister panels are also installed inside the cooler after the media
section. They are used to eliminate any risk of water drop carry-
over.
Water is re-circulated for cost saving reasons. Therefore, it is nec-

essary to "bleed off" a portion of the re-collected water in order to
avoid the concentration of salts rising above the scaling limit.
The bleed-off for this evap cooler is automatically determined by the

conductivity meters, supplied
The control of the cooler is integrated in the control box of the filter-
house; it is designed to start the pumps at the right moment and to
control the correct working of the cooler in accordance with the wa-
ter available in the system.
The operation of the cooler should be avoided at temperatures below 10C. This
condition together with the cooling effect of the air stream velocity could induce
freezing of the water on the media.
During days with high relative humidity the cooler effect decreases.
The evaporative cooling process involves the exchange of heat.
The heat of the air is reduced proportionally to the amount of evapo-

ration that takes place. The maximum reduction of dry bulb temper-
ature is the difference between the entering air dry-bulb and the cor-
responding wet-bulb temperatures.

GE Energy
Rev. : C
Page : 21/33
DESCRIPTION
The extent to which the cooled air approaches the wet-bulb temper-
ature defines the cooler efficiency. This efficiency is often referred
to as saturation efficiency because as the air accepts more evapo-
rated water it approaches saturation and the wet-bulb temperature.
The evaporative cooling process may best be illustrated graphically

on a psychometric chart. The cooling occurs along the wet-bulb
temperature line in a re-circulation system because the humidity in
the air is assumed to be at the air wet-bulb temperature (see fig.5).
The enthalpy of the air remains essentially constant. The type of

evaporative cooler media used by Donaldson is a direct contact, ir-
rigated media utilising cross-fluted cellulose fiber pads which are
impregnated with insoluble anti-rot salts and rigidifying saturant (see
fig.7).
During normal operation, warm air enters the evaporative cooler and
passes through the water saturated evaporative cooler media.
The air temperature is lowered by the evaporation of some water

through the adiabatic exchange of heat. The air then passes
through a drift eliminator removing any water droplet carry-over that
may have occurred. Drift usually occurs at velocities less than 4
m/sec where 40 to 50 droplets are not dispersed by the low veloci-
ty air stream.

2.3.5 Temperature and relative humidity sensor

A combined temperature and relative humidity sensor is installed at the side of
the control box to initiate the pulse cleaning of the filter system when the RH in
the external atmosphere increases above 80%.
Figure 6: Relative humidity sensor
2.3.6 Lighting
For filter maintenance, lighting is installed inside the filter house at each platform
level.
2.3.7 Alarm instruments

There is one pressure transmitter (see fig.7).
A differential pressure transmitter (-96TF-1), with pick-up point in the ductwork af-
ter the evap cooler is foreseen for turbine alarm purposes. It sends a signal (4-20
mA) to the customer main control room.
Filter high pressure drop alarm: a pressure switch (-63CA-1) gives an alarm
when the compressed air pressure drops below a certain preset value.
These instruments should be checked for their activation point on a regular basis.

2.3.9 Relative humidity & temperature transmitter
Figure 9: Relative humidity & temperature transmitter
A relative humidity and temperature transmitter has been installed under the con-
trol box. This transmitter transduces the site conditions (temperature and relative
humidity, detected by the sensor) into two analogue signals (4-20 mA). The first
analogue signal (corresponding to the dew point) is available at terminals 1, 2
and 3 of the terminal block X05 inside the control box. The second analogue sig-
nal (corresponding to the relative humidity) is available at terminals 4, 5 and 6 of
the same terminal block X05 inside the control box.
2.3.10 Dust evacuation fans

Fan hoppers are installed under the filter modules. They are used to blow the
dust collected from pulsing out of the filter area. They start automatically when
the pulsing starts and stop automatically when the pulsing stops.

2.6 Life of the filter elements

The maximum filter element life is 5 calendar years from the production date
marked on it, if the storage is done in correct conditions.
The maximum filter element operating life is 2 calendar years after installation in
the filter house.
Therefore, for the most profitable use of our filter element, the storage period
should be limited to 3 years, e.g. 3 years storage + 2 years operation = 5 years
(max. life).
