(Speaker60035)Modes Benefits of Coil-Based Inlet Air Conditioning for Gas Turbines

摘要

Power demand is often greatest at the extreme temperatures due to an inherent desire (or requiredneed) to maintain a steady, comfortable condition. The additional energy required to offsetextreme ambient conditions, whether running an air conditioner or a heater, creates additionalpower demand. Unfortunately, a combustion turbine performance is highly sensitive to ambientair conditions and thus extreme hot and cold temperatures negatively impacts a generating unit’sperformance and operation. Coil-based inlet air-conditioning systems are designed and operatedto counteract these challenging conditions and maintain a combustion turbine performance andreliability throughout the ambient temperature range.
