Six MHPS 501J Gas Turbines Achieve 123 MW Boost in Japan
Gas Turbine Inlet Air CoolingA power company in Japan needed an efficient way to boost output at their facility. Mee Industries installed evaporative cooling systems to augment power production on six of their MHPS 501J turbines. The skids have nine pumps and provide fifteen stages of fogging. Each MeeFog™ system produces a 20.5 MW power boost, resulting in 123 MW total power boost for all units.
