Gas Turbine output increases on average by 0.5% for every 1degC cooling of the combustion air. Therefore, there are serious economic and environmental considerations to be able to cool the combustion air in a competitive and safe manner. The system envisaged would enable Gas Turbine operators to increase the output in the summer or in hot countries by up to 10% (25MW per hour for a large GT) in a safe manner, without jeopardising the integrity of the Gas Turbine parts, which is the only reason for which fog system are not as successful in this market. If the R&D project was deemed as successful, TT(E) could aspire to supply systems that include fog generators and air filtration systems in high volumes to both gas turbine manufacturers and gas turbine operators.
