MAINTAINING DECLARED PERFORMANCE IN GAS TURBINES DURING INCREASED AMBIENT TEMPERATURES

The classical gas turbine process is characterised by air compression from its surroundings, heating fuel in the combustion chambers, hence causing created flue gases to expand and thus induce mechanical action. performance of depends on anything that affects airflow density and/or mass at compressor inlet. most obvious changes a reduction power an increase specific consumption following ambient temperature, resulting significant deviations guaranteed (and achieved) values ISO conditions. In cooling inlet increased temperatures, flow ratio achieved, preventing consumption. When using turbines combined cycle cogeneration plants for production electrical thermal power, increasing through leads transferred exhaust, which waste heat recovery boiler plant transfers steam cycle. Consequently, effect more work has used example GE-PG610FA show dependency surrounding climatic conditions, manner this can be reduced or removed.
