Cooling air inlet in the generator

Inlet Air Cooling Systems Improve Gas Turbine

An inlet air cooling system offers one of the most cost-effective ways to improve gas turbine performance during the peak hours of hot summer months. News & Technology for the Global Energy Industry.

A novel inlet air cooling system to improve the performance of

This study conducted an extensive review of compressor inlet air cooling (IAC) technologies applied to gas turbine power plants. The findings of this investigation are outlined

Proper Room Ventilation for Indoor Generator Operation

The air should flow over the entire generator horizontally, thereby cooling the alternator and effectively purging internal heat. As for the exhaust fans, they should be placed high and directly above the generator to

Air cooling system and method for a heat recovery steam generator inlet

The air cooling system and method for a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) inlet provides a combined cycle power plant utilizing a powerful fan coupled to ductwork connected to pipes

Vortex air cold and hot air

The optimum cooling effect is achieved when the difference from the inlet air temperature and the cold air drops is 50 o F (28 o C). When using a Vortex tube in cooling laboratory samples or to test circuit boards, a

Analysis and optimization of an axial-radial hybrid ventilation

The generator utilizes an axial-radial hybrid ventilation structure with a double-sided air inlet. Cooling air enters both ends of the generator through the double sides. One

Gas turbines take in filtered, fresh ambient air and compress it in the compressor stage. The compressed air is mixed with fuel in the combustion chamber and ignited. This produces a high-temperature and high-pressure flow of exhaust gases that enter in a turbine and produce the shaft work output that is generally used to turn an electric generator as well as powering the compressor stage.
