Evaporative Cooling & Wet Compression Boosts Power Output by 30 MW
Gas Turbine Wet Compression
In 2012, MeeFog evaporative cooling and wet compression systems were installed on two Alstom 13E2 gas turbines. Wet compression consists of spraying water into the gas turbine compressor. The water evaporates inside the compressor giving an inter-cooling effect that reduces the work of compression, which causes an increase in power output. Each MeeFog system installed has 16 stages of cooling and provides a 15 MW power boost resulting in a total 30 MW power boost for the plant.
