Intake Systems

Inlet systems supplying combustion air to gas turbines, and openings for cooling of power machinery are noisy and must be outfitted with silencing to lower noise emissions to acceptable levels. Since its inception in 1977, Higgott-Kane has provided hundreds of custom-designed intake sound silencing systems.

Intake Silencers - Higgott-Kane’s line of acoustical products includes inlet silencers designed to provide high noise attenuation and minimum associated pressure loss. Cleanliness specifications and high weld quality ensure a product suitable for the critical environment required for intake to gas turbines. Our intake silencers are made from heavy gauge materials ideally suited to gas turbines, compressors and axial fans.

Higgott-Kane supplies noise control systems for major equipment all over the world.

Intake Air Cooling improves gas turbine performance in warm weather applications. Cooled air is more dense and increases mass flow and pressure ratio which results in higher turbine power output and efficiency. The injection of water into the warm air stream evaporates to provide cooling and increases mass flow.

Evaporative Cooling – Higgott-Kane can supply evaporative coolers for cooling of intake air. Evaporative coolers employ a media at the filterhouse entry to hold circulating water. Incoming air flows through the media and is cooled by water evaporation.

Fog Cooling – Higgott-Kane can supply fog cooling systems. Fogging systems inject demineralized water into the air stream in fine droplets, which provide cooling of the air through atomization of a fog cooling system)

In cold climates, ice formation on the combustion air intake system filterhouse will cause damage to the axial compressor.

Anti-icing - Higgott-Kane’s proprietary anti-icing system is designed to ensure that the gas turbine engine is protected from icing during cold, humid climatic conditions. Higgott-Kane’s unique anti-icing system recovers heat from the engine exhaust gas to yield virtually zero loss of engine performance.
