The World

The profits that can be gained by use of inlet air cooling on gas turbines has been recognised for quite some time now and the systems installed throughout the world have shown the users in the gas turbine field that cooling indeed can be used to boost power at times when the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds the ISO rating temperature of the gas turbine. Drawback however being that the initial investment asked of the gas turbine user is rather large thus only justifying a cooling system in regions where the outdoor temperatures exceed the ISO rating time and again due to the climate in that region. Lately gas turbine users in colder climates have become interested in power augmentation during their short summer, however there is no justification for an investment like necessary when installing one of the presently available systems on the market. As the question reached us from more and more of our clients it stimulated us to go out and search for a low-investment solution to this problem. This resulted in the world’s first low pressure gas turbine inlet cooling system.

Brayton Refrigeration Cycle

Performance analysis and optimization of an endoreversible Brayton cycle coupled to a Brayton refrigeration cycle has been performed using finite-time thermodynamics. The analy-tical formulae are derived with respect to power, efficiency, optimal extracted pressure ratio of air refrigeration cycle corresponding to optimal power, optimal power and the corresponding efficiency. The influences of various parameters on the cycle performances are analysed by numerical examples. The results show that there exists one optimal pressure ratio of the compressor corresponding to maximum power and another optimal pressure ratio of the compressor corresponding to maximum efficiency; the compressor inlet temperature is reduced by mixing the chilled working fluid from the Brayton refrigeration cycle and the main intake working fluid streams; the intake working fluid temperature could be controlled even below the temperature of the heat sink and the gas turbine performance can be improved.

The processes of the gas turbine inlet air cooling by exhaust heat conversion chillers, which utilizing the gas turbine exhaust gas heat, converting it into cold were analyzed. The use of two-stage air cooling has been investigated: to a temperature of 15°C – in an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and below to a temperature of 10°C – in an ejector chiller as stages of a two-stage absorption-ejector chiller. To simulate air cooling processes, the program "Guentner Product Calculator", one of the leading manufacturers of heat exchangers "Guentner", was used. The possibility of using the accumulated excess refrigeration capacity of a combined absorption-ejector chiller, which is formed at reduced current heat loads on air coolers at the gas turbine inlet, to cover the refrigeration capacity deficit arising at increased heat loads due to high ambient air temperatures has been investigated. The refrigeration capacity required to the gas turbine inlet air cooling was compared to an excess refrigeration capacity which excess of the current heat load. The considered air cooling system provides pre-cooling of air at the gas turbine inlet by using the excess refrigeration capacity of the absorption-ejector chiller, accumulated in the cold accumulator, to provide the required refrigeration capacity of the air pre-cooling booster stage. The simulation results proved the expediency of the gas turbine inlet air cooling using the accumulated excess refrigeration capacity of the combined absorption-ejector chiller. The proposed solution reduces by about 50% the design refrigeration capacity and, accordingly, the cost of the installed absorption lithium-bromide chiller, which acts as a high-temperature stage for cooling the ambient air at the gas turbine inlet.
