FAQs

How reliable is your gas turbine inlet air cooling system, and what is its expected lifetime?

The MeeFog system’s lifespan is typically 30 years or more. Stainless steel nozzles remain durable indefinitely when used correctly.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Stainless steel nozzles last indefinitely with filtered, demineralized water. Annual visual inspections are recommended to replace any nozzles that show blockage or physical damage.

What factors affect gas turbine efficiency?

Efficiency rises with higher pressure ratios, hotter firing temperatures, or lower compressor workloads. While combustion upgrades help, gas turbine inlet air cooling or wet compression offers a faster, more economical improvement.

How much power boost can a MeeFog inlet air cooling system deliver?

A 20°F (11°C) reduction in inlet air temperature can increase output by 10% or more.

What is the purpose of using inlet air cooling for a gas turbine engine?

When you use the inlet air cooling method for a gas turbine, it increases air density, allowing greater mass flow through the compressor. Denser, cooler air requires less compression work, resulting in higher efficiency and output.

How does using inlet air cooling methods for a gas turbine increase power output?

Inlet air cooling makes the air denser. Since the compressor of the gas turbine moves a fixed volume of air, the mass flow increases when the air is denser. More mass flow means more power output and improved efficiency.

What type of water is required?

You should use high-purity demineralized water to prevent fouling and maintain operation reliability.

Is maintenance extensive?

No, MeeFog wet compression systems are designed for minimal maintenance due to high-quality materials and a simple design.

How much water does a system typically consume?

Consumption varies by turbine size and configuration but usually equals 1%–2.5% of the air mass flow.
