摘要:The dependency of marine gas turbine on the ambient temperature leads to a decrease of the gas turbine power output in arid areas.Very often gas turbine power output demand is high and the power margins originally designed into the driver,has been exhausted.In such circumstances the inlet air fogging is an effective compensation of gas turbine power.In this paper an analysis of inlet air fogging applicability to marine gas turbine has been conducted.Different areas of ship’s voyage have been taken into account.The use of inlet air fogging in marine gas turbine must be evaluated on the basis of turbine characteristics,climate profile of ship’s voyage,and expectations of gas turbine power augmentation.The authors expect that the considerations provide useful guidance for users of marine gas turbines to decide the feasibility of installing an inlet air fogging system.
