Combustion Turbine Inlet Air Cooling (CTIAC)

Systems are used to increase the air flow rate which correspondingly increases the power output of many of today's turbines. The volumetric flow of most turbines is constant and therefore by increasing the mass flow, power increases in an inverse proportion to the temperature of the inlet air. Typically increases in the neighborhood of 15% can be achieved with a 20ºF reduction in inlet air temperature. The increased mass flow also decreases the rate of fuel consumption per MW produced.

MORE AIR = MORE POWER

FOG type Evaporation cooling systems have proven to be the most popular choice for inlet air cooling for many reasons. The low capital cost, installation and operating costs make it attractive for many turbine operating scenarios. This simple cooling method makes it ideal for turbines that operate continuously to those that only operate for a few hours a year for power reserves and peak deman periods.
