One GE/Alstom GT-26 Gains 38 MW for JFE Steel Japan
Gas Turbine Inlet Air Cooling![](https://www.meefog.com/wp-content/uploads/JFE-Steel.jpg)
JFE Steel Corporation is a power producer in Chiba, Japan. In 2003 they installed a MeeFog System on their GE/Alstom GT-26 gas turbine. It provided evaporative cooling and a small amount of wet compression. In 2016 they replaced that system with a larger MeeFog System. The flow rate increased from 42 gpm (160 lpm) to 134 gpm (506 lpm). The system is now capable of providing evaporative cooling and 1% (of the air mass flow) as wet compression spray. The new system provides twenty-four stages of fogging, and produces a 38 MW power boost.
