13.1.5 Insect Screens
Optional insect screens can be installed on the air inlet filters (except for self-cleaning
filters). This option is used when large numbers of insects are present. The screen is
designed to reduce the velocity of the air stream sufficiently to allow most insects to fly
away. Use of the screen helps to avoid clogging and premature filter replacement. During
cold weather operation, the screens should be removed and stored due to a potential for
ice or snow to clog the screens.
13.1.6 Air Inlet Gas Detection
Gas detection in the air inlet system can be provided with either one or three gas
detectors. For enclosed packages, the signals from the detectors are integrated into the
enclosure’s fire and gas system via that system’s local network. For unenclosed
packages, the detectors provide a 4-20mA signal directly to the control system.
13.1.7 Air Inlet Silencer
Optional air inlet silencers can be incorporated into the air inlet ducting to reduce noise
levels. Typical installations include one air inlet silencer..
13.1.8 Air Inlet Ducting and Support
An optional support structure and ducting can be provided for offskid support of the air
inlet filter and silencer assembly. Attaching hardware and a tube of sealant are provided
for one flange per duct.
