Turbine Inlet Air Cooling

Indicators and improvements for power plant efficiency

The average temperature for most tropical regions is about 35° C. This and the accompanying high humidity spells doom for power plants in such regions unless something is done to counter the effects. Large scale power-generation relies on gas turbines, which have limitations at higher temperatures. [..]

District cooling companies: Using Remote Integrated Condensation

Most modern cities use more than 25 % of their electricity for air conditioning. Providing comfort in public spaces such as hospitals and offices has become a necessity nowadays. At the same time, energy efficiency is something the society cannot afford to ignore with the skyrocketing electricity co[..]

Chiller plant design calculation: Detailed Cooling Profile Simulation

Less than three decades ago, full load kW/ton was still a widely used metric of chiller efficiency. It was only in the late 1980s that stakeholders in the industry realized that this indication was incomplete because full load conditions are rare in real life situations. That was the beginning of be[..]

Power Augmentation: Evaporative Cooling vs. TIAC with Chillers

Did you know that it is common for electricity prices to increase with increasing temperatures? Power markets globally are suffering due to this state of affairs. Homesteads switch on their air conditioners to fight off the heat. Unfortunately, gas turbines are at their worst performance at high tem[..]

NPLV rating system application for chilled water plants

According some studies made in Middle East, chillers use over 40 % of all the energy in industrial and commercial space cooling. Therefore, it is understandable that designers are concerned about chiller efficiency. Several factors — poor maintenance, poor operation, improper sizing, etc affect this[..]

How to improve turbine power output in Oil & Gas industry

Globally, natural gas fired power generation is growing tremendously. One of the major reasons behind this surge is modern gas turbine development, which has given natural gas a new appeal. Consequently, turbine power output has become an important component of power plants in this billion-dollar in[..]

District Heating, District Cooling

Comparison between Water-Cooled Systems and Air-Cooled Systems

The role of a district cooling system is to distribute cooling energy from a centralized production plant using an underground pipeline to a district. It is the perfect replacement for older air conditioning systems because of its lower energy consumption, reduced annual maintenance costs, and envir[..]

Refrigeration

Heat Rejection System & Condensing Technologies

Any process that does work or uses energy produces heat, according to thermodynamics principles. We know that many systems release heat to the environment during their operations. This includes the refrigerator in your house. In district cooling plants, the amount of waste heat involved is so enormo[..]

District Cooling System: why is Direct Condensation Better?

In this era of limited resources, energy efficiency and environmental conservation are critical steps for district cooling systems. Consider the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. At 828m in height, the magnificent structure can be a nightmare to cool down. However, the coolin[..]

Turbine Inlet Air Cooling

Saudi Aramco increase power output in 21 % with TIAC

In climates with high ambient temperatures the power output and efficiency of gas turbines used by oil companies are both reduced. Lower inlet air temperatures significantly increase power production and improve efficiency during periods of warm weather, whether the gas turbines are used for electri[..]
