Abstract

A gas turbine enclosure apparatus is provided and includes a frame defining an interior, gas turbine equipment disposed in the interior, the gas turbine equipment being pre-assembled at a first site and connectable with a gas turbine disposed at a second site and wall panels connectable with the frame. The apparatus being disposable proximate to the gas turbine such that the gas turbine equipment is exposed to the gas turbine and a portion of the wall panels form a portion of an outer enclosure of the gas turbine and the gas turbine equipment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A gas turbine enclosure apparatus, comprising:
 a frame defining an interior;   gas turbine equipment disposed in the interior, the gas turbine equipment being pre-assembled at a first site and connectable with a gas turbine disposed at a second site; and   wall panels connectable with the frame,   the apparatus being disposable proximate to the gas turbine such that the gas turbine equipment is exposed to the gas turbine and a portion of the wall panels form a portion of an outer enclosure of the gas turbine and the gas turbine equipment.   
     
     
         2 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame has a volumetric shape. 
     
     
         3 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the gas turbine equipment comprises piping, piping supports, valves and electrical devices. 
     
     
         4 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form a fuel control module. 
     
     
         5 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form an air extraction module. 
     
     
         6 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form a drainage module. 
     
     
         7 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall panels are configured such that the outer enclosure attenuates sound generated by the gas turbine. 
     
     
         8 . A gas turbine enclosure apparatus, comprising:
 a frame defining an interior;   gas turbine equipment disposed in the interior, the gas turbine equipment being pre-assembled at a first site and connectable with a gas turbine disposed at a second site; and   permanent acoustic wall and temporary shipping container panels connectable with the frame,   the apparatus being disposable proximate to the gas turbine and stackable with another apparatus such that:   with the temporary shipping container panels removed from the frame, the gas turbine equipment is exposed to the gas turbine, and   the permanent acoustic wall panels form a portion of an outer enclosure of the gas turbine and the gas turbine equipment.   
     
     
         9 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the frame has a volumetric shape. 
     
     
         10 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the gas turbine equipment comprises piping, piping supports, valves and electrical devices. 
     
     
         11 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form a fuel control module. 
     
     
         12 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form an air extraction module. 
     
     
         13 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the frame and the gas turbine equipment form a drainage module. 
     
     
         14 . The gas turbine enclosure apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the permanent acoustic wall panels are configured such that the outer enclosure attenuates sound generated by the gas turbine. 
     
     
         15 . A gas turbine enclosure apparatus for enclosing a gas turbine, the apparatus comprising:
 a plurality of modules comprising one or more module types,   each module comprising a frame defining an interior, gas turbine equipment disposed in the interior, the gas turbine equipment being pre-assembled at a first site and connectable with a gas turbine disposed at a second site and wall panels connectable with the frame, and   a portion of the wall panels of each module of the plurality of modules being configured to cooperatively form a portion of an outer enclosure of the gas turbine and the gas turbine equipment.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the one or more module types comprises:
 a fuel control module;   an air extraction module;   a drainage module; and   an additional air extraction module.   
     
     
         17 . The apparatus according to  claim 15 , further comprising gas turbine work platforms. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus according to  claim 15 , further comprising a grating supportable on a portion of the plurality of modules. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the outer enclosure is formed to define one or more maintenance access points. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the outer enclosure comprises a roof portion.
