Air feed for a gas turbine is cooled in a quench cooler, using water as a coolant, to reduce the air temperature without loss of pressure

The air feed (1) for a gas turbine (T) is initially passed through a quench cooler (Q), where its temperature is reduced by a coolant medium (7) and preferably water. The quench cooler has a number of bases and/or at least one packing, to bring the air temperature of 15-50degreesC down to 4-15degree...

More Information
Summary:The air feed (1) for a gas turbine (T) is initially passed through a quench cooler (Q), where its temperature is reduced by a coolant medium (7) and preferably water. The quench cooler has a number of bases and/or at least one packing, to bring the air temperature of 15-50degreesC down to 4-15degreesC. The coolant water recirculates in a circuit (7-10), with a pump (P) and a heat exchanger (E). Es werden ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Abkühlen eines einer Gasturbine zuzuführenden Luftstromes beschrieben. DOLLAR A Erfindungsgemäß wird der Luftstrom (1) vor der Zuführung in die Gasturbine (T) in einem Quench-Kühler (Q) gegen ein Kühlmedium (7) abgekühlt. DOLLAR A Hierbei wird als Kühlmedium (7) vorzugsweise Wasser verwendet.
