Inlet air cooling for a combustion turbine using thermal storage.

Author(s) : MACKIE E. I.

Summary

The paper discusses the design and preliminary operating information for the prototype ice harvester thermal storage, inlet air-cooling system for a peaking turbine. The refrigeration-storage system consists of a 41.6-million-L tank that stores 37,400 ton-hours (473,500 gigajoules) of harvested ice from three evaporators. It is serviced by a 700-hp (522.2-kilowatts), 600-ton (2,100 kilowatts) rotary screw compressor using ammonia as the refrigerant. The system cools an inlet airflow of 203,400 L/s of air from 38.6 deg C (dry bulb) and 25 deg C (wet bulb) to 4.4 deg C for 4 hours on five weekdays. The presentation includes a statement of design objectives, development of design conditions, consideration of system and component alternatives, and preliminary information on operation.
