Turbine Generator Inlet Cooling Benefits
Gas Turbine operators now have a better inlet cooling choice than conventional technology such as evaporative cooling, fogging, or mechanical refrigeration. Using indirect evaporative cooling technology, the Everest Sciences® solution provides denser, cooler air than conventional methods and chills inlet air at a fraction of the parasitic load.
Benefits of our Hybrid systems include:
- The hybrid approach maximizes the effectiveness and efficiency of multiple inlet cooling methods to provide denser air at the lowest parasitic power load possible.
- Superior proprietary and patented heat exchange cooling process not offered elsewhere.
- Allows gas turbine to produce greater NET power output than any other conventional inlet cooling method.
- Significantly improves the fuel consumption to power output ratio.
- Redundant component design for highly reliable operation and low O&M costs.
- Fully integrated and engineered modular systems that are factory pre-packaged minimizing field installation efforts and turbine down time.
- Provides incremental power output at a reduction in incremental emissions.
- Stabilizes power production irrespective of ambient climate conditions.
- Industrial grade components for long maintenance free life.
- Integrated design can include inlet air filtration to work with or replace the existing filterhouse.
- Operationally simple.
- Controls can integrate into existing DCS systems.
- Cooling system design allows for safe routine maintenance without gas turine operation.
- System requires less to no treated water (de-mineralized/de-ionized) realative to other technologies.
- High grade stainless steel construction throughout the Everest Sciences system.
- Optional integrated remote monitoring and trend analysis capabilities.
- A cool secondary air stream as a byproduct of the indirect evaporative section that is suitable for other plant cooling applications such as lube oil cooling and compartment cooling.
- Single source solution provider with technical staff to support product offerings.
- Proven and mature technology in operation on gas turbines located in the U.S.
