1. A method of operating a turbine assembly, said method comprising:
- receiving a flow of air at a filter house including a first heat exchanger;
controlling a temperature of the air with the first heat exchanger by one of selectively cooling the air and by selectively heating the air; and
channeling the air from the first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger to facilitate cooling the air.

Abstract
A method of operating a turbine assembly is provided. The method includes receiving a flow of air at a filter house that includes a first heat exchanger. The temperature of the air is controlled with the first heat exchanger by one of selectively cooling the air and by selectively heating the air. The air is then channeled from the first heat exchanger to a second heat exchanger to facilitate cooling the air.

10. An apparatus for use with a turbine assembly, said apparatus comprising:
-
a first heat exchanger configured to control a temperature of air flowing into the turbine assembly by cooling the air when said first heat exchanger is in a first operational mode and by heating the air when said first heat exchanger is in a second operational mode; and a second heat exchanger coupled downstream from said first heat exchanger, said second heat exchanger is configured to cool the air channeled from said first heat exchanger. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
