Posts about Turbine Inlet Air Cooling (5)

No one can dispute the important role played by gas turbines in power plants today. They are the brain and heart of electricity production. Feed a gas turbine with natural gas or any other fuel and it will transform it to mechanical energy, which in turn generates electricity as depicted in the figu[..]

Did you know that increasing the inlet temperature of a gas turbine can decrease power loss by as much as 30 %? That is why turbine inlet temperature increase of a gas turbine is such a popular practice today. Even systems that initially did not have the cooling components are considering installing[..]

Did you know that the gas turbine technology is the most popular for power generation? When you look back through history, it immediately becomes clear that the experimental stage of this technology was present as early as the 1900s. Although the first turbines were meant for airplanes, 1939 saw the[..]

Industrial gas turbines tend to work in high ambient temperatures, which can get even higher during on-peak power demand periods. This can be a big deal when aiming at power augmentation, especially in hot climate areas such as the Middle East. This is why Thermal Storage Systems are standing out as[..]

Containerized turbines are a cost-effective, expedient way to install quality equipment. These turbines are ready to go on delivery, including all mechanical, electrical, and control components. These units are compact and easily serviced making them ideal for many applications, both temporary and p[..]
