Gas Turbine Inlet Air Cooling Systems: Technologies that Enhance Performance

Gas turbines are fundamental components of modern energy production. For gas turbines to operate efficiently, certain conditions must be met, one of which is controlling the temperature of the inlet air.

Gas turbines burn a mixture of air and fuel at high temperatures to convert energy into mechanical and thermal power. The performance of these turbines is directly linked to the temperature of the inlet air, and cooling the inlet air is essential for them to operate with high efficiency. Inlet air cooling systems address this need, enhancing turbine performance and optimizing energy efficiency. Here are some key points highlighting the importance of these systems:

  • Capacity Increase: Cooled air becomes denser, allowing turbines to burn the air-fuel mixture more effectively, thus increasing total power output.
  •  Energy Efficiency: Inlet air cooling systems help turbines maintain high performance even in hot conditions by reducing the heat rate, optimizing energy production and lowering energy costs.
  • Equipment Longevity: Hot inlet air can push turbines away from their nominal operating conditions, accelerating wear and tear. Cooling systems enable turbines to operate closer to ISO conditions, extending the equipment's lifespan.

Our specially designed inlet air cooling systems for gas turbines are engineered to meet high performance, reliability, and industrial suitability criteria, ensuring durability and long life.
