Gas Turbine Inlet Air Cooling
Gas Turbine Inlet Air Cooling
(OP)
Hi, i am new to this industry hence i hope i can have some help.
1) How to i calculate the GTIAC Cooling load?
2) How do i do a total life cycle cost analysis, operation cost and payback?
I hope i can have some advice to guide me through the above question.
Thanks.

If by performance you mean throughput and power output, yes it will improve. If you mean overall cycle efficiency, no, because you need electricity to cool.
turbine cooling with refrigeration is a cheap way to boost power at expense of efficiency.

which m = 1119550.64lb/hr = 507819.63kg/hr, DeltaT = 31.4DegC - 15DegC, and the Cp = 1.005kJ/kg.K?
Is the above value correct? Thanks.

It should be really the same like cooling air for a space in normal HVAC. use psychroemtric chart or tables etc.
