摘要:
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a gas turbine system for part load efficiency improvement and anti-icing within the inlet and at the compressor inlet is described. The system includes a gas turbine having a compressor which receives inlet-air. A direct-contact heat exchanger heats the inlet-air before the inlet-air flows through the inlet and to the compressor. Heating the inlet-air reduces an output of the gas turbine and extends the turndown range, and avoids ice-forming conditions within the inlet and at the compressor inlet bellmouth. The direct-contact heat exchanger may also be configured to act as an evaporative cooler, air chiller, or use liquid dessicant.

An evaporative cooler system using heated fluid heats the inlet-air before the inlet-air flows to the compressor.
