Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the performance, efficiency, and emissions of a gas turbine by heating fuel before mixing it with compressed air. SOLUTION: In certain embodiments, a system includes a fuel heater 64. The fuel heater 64 includes a first heat exchanger 74 configured to receive compressed air 80, 84 from a compressor 20 and to transfer heat of the compressed air 80, 84 to feed-water 92. The fuel heater 64 also includes a second heat exchanger 76 configured to receive heated feed-water 94 from the first heat exchanger 74 and to transfer heat of the heated feed-water 94 to fuel 98.
