Over 18 Years of Experience On Increasing Gas Turbine Performance

The basic theory of inlet air cooling for Gas Turbines is simple enough. Gas Turbines (GTs) are constant volume machines – at a given shaft speed they always move the same volume of air. But the power output of a turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. That's why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls and dramatically decreases Gas Turbine performance. By feeding cooler air into the Gas Turbine, air mass flow is increased, the result is increased output. Another factor is the power consumed by the GT's compressor. The work required to compress air is proportional to the temperature of the air. By reducing the inlet air temperature, the work required for the compression process is reduced, which means more work is available at the turbine output shaft.
