Type of article: Article

Summary

CTs exhibit an inherent loss in power output as ambient air temperature rises, at precisely those times when power is most in demand and most highly valued. The concepts and the benefits of cooling the inlet air entering CTs during times of high ambient air temperature are presented. The paper reviews the various possible technologies and compares them.
