ENHANCED GENERATOR CAPABILITY IN HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES

摘要

A gas turbine includes a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a generator disposed upstream of the compressor. The gas turbine also includes a heat exchange circuit with a generator cooler circuit cooperable with the generator and circulating a coolant in the generator. The heat exchange circuit also includes a water circuit circulating water in a heat exchange relationship with the generator cooler circuit. The coolant in the generator cooler circuit is cooled by the water in the water circuit.
