Technology Behind Turbine Generator Inlet Cooling

Proprietary Everest Sciences™ technology can increase gas turbine hot day available power by up to 30%, while reducing heat rate by up to 10% compared to un-cooled gas turbines. With today's power requirements, rising fuel costs, and increased awareness of emissions, the Everest Sciences solution has clear benefits for gas turbine users.

Unlike conventional solutions, Everest Sciences indirect evaporative cooling does not introduce evaporated water into the gas turbine's primary airflow. Instead, evaporation occurs in a secondary air stream, which in turn cools the primary air without the density reduction associated with increased moisture content. The Everest Cycle™ achieves equivalent cooling to refrigeration using substantially less power, in a compact modularized system.
