FAQs

When correctly implemented, wet compression in a gas turbine operates safely without shortening equipment life.

Injecting a 2% air mass flow as wet compression spray will boost gas turbine output by as much as 10%. The power increase is greater for turbines with a higher pressure ratio.

It reduces compressor work, freeing more shaft power for useful output, and cools the compressor discharge so additional fuel can be burned and further increasing turbine power.

Wet compression is a gas turbine power augmentation method that injects atomized water (fog) into the compressor. The fog evaporates giving an intercooling effect, which reduces the work of compression and increases available power, further boosted by allowing more fuel to be burned due to cooler discharge air.

We guarantee the amount of cooling a system will produce on a hot day. MeeFog systems have a 12-month warranty. Longer warranty terms are available on request.

MeeFog pre-cooling systems can be used whenever the temperature is above freezing. It is usually possible to cool by at least 10°F (5.5°C) even on humid afternoons in a tropical climate.

Yes, we’ve documented several indirect evaporative cooling projects showing measurable performance gains on steam condensers, AC condensers, and other systems. 

To install a pre-cooling system for heat exchangers, typical lead times are about 12 weeks for smaller projects and up to 24 weeks for larger ones. MeeFog pump skids arrive fully assembled, with fog nozzles installed and factory-tested.

Nozzle lines usually ship in 20-foot sections. Installation involves bolting the pump skid to a foundation, then connecting the feedlines and nozzle lines. MeeFog supplies all required drawings and a technical advisor to support the installation process.

Fog nozzles, fog nozzle lines, feedlines, and pumps are all stainless steel, which provides long life and requires minimal maintenance.
