Gas Turbine Inlet Cooling Options to Maximize Power Output in Response to the New Operating Dynamics in Europe

摘要

A gas turbine inlet cooling system has been developed which can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to operation, and which provides a fast response to the changing dynamics of gas turbine power generation and gas transmission. The concept involves the installation of high capacity rotary atomisers on the dirty air side of filters with a rigorous control system which provides fine tuning of downstream temperature while ensuring that filter differential pressure is not adversely affected by the cooling process.
