NEW PROTOCOL WILL ENABLE COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT FOGGING SYSTEMS

摘要

The inlet fogging of gas turbines for power augmentation has seen increasing application over the past decade, but little information about the physics and engineering of the process is available. Inlet fogging can be used to augment the power of a gas turbine by up to 20%. To achieve this level of augmentation, however, a number of important parameters must be understood, including fog droplet size, droplet kinetics and duct behavior of the. droplets.
