Zitat:Neptune Filtration System Selected For Italian And US Navy FREMMshttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...vy-fremms/
When building frigates for close combat, the selection of the filtration system for the engine turbines may not seem the most vital aspect, but is essential for reliable operation and to enable the ship to respond swiftly. [...]
The Italian and, more recently, US Navy have both commissioned FREMM (Frégates Européennes Multi-Missions) and FFG62 Constellation Class Guided Missile Frigates respectively, built by a major Italian ship builder at its Italian and US shipyards. The aero derived gas turbines powering these ships, and configured for marine applications will be protected by Parker altair® Neptune filtration systems.
The leading Parker altair® Neptune filtration systems are designed to ensure a clean, reliable supply of air to the gas turbine inlet. Downstream Salt concentration is 0.0025ppm v NGTE 30 knot aerosol. Equivalent to 99.93% salt removal efficiency, vital for offshore operation.
