Gas Turbines USCG Q#465 (Set 7)

Provisions for avoiding the build-up of ice on the intake air surfaces of a gas turbine plant can be found where?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Both A & B.

Ice prevention is critical to avoid compressor damage or airflow blockage. Provisions for heating or anti-icing are integrated into both the inlet duct frame at the engine face and the broader intake and exhaust ducting systems to ensure that ice accumulation does not compromise the engine's operational air requirements.
