Turbine Generator Inlet Cooling Products
Gas turbines lose performance as inlet air temperatures rise - most noticeable in the summer, when you typically need power most. Various technologies can increase the output and efficiency by reducing the inlet air temperature. The Everest Sciences® solution takes inlet air cooling a step further. Our proprietary technology provides the highest net power gain of alternative systems. The Everest Cycle® delivers dense, cool air to your gas turbine inlet, allowing more power output with greater efficiency, while lowering your operating costs. Our solutions provide inlet cooling for a wide range of gas turbines.
