The key takeaways are that turbine inlet air chilling (TIAC) is a power enhancement system that improves the output and efficiency of gas turbines by offsetting the negative impacts of higher ambient air temperatures. TIAC systems utilize various cooling technologies like mechanical chilling, evaporative cooling, and fogging that have been successfully applied to hundreds of gas turbines worldwide.

Turbine inlet air chilling (TIAC) is a power enhancement system that is applied to gas turbines to improve their power output and efficiency by offsetting the negative impact of higher ambient temperatures. It improves operational effectiveness by stabilizing available power output and efficiency. The main benefits are increased power output, improved efficiency, and more stable operation.

Power plant owners integrate TIAC to realize benefits like reduced project costs, peak power enhancement without additional generation assets, operational stability with maximized yearly output, higher return on assets, improved flexibility, and lower lifecycle costs. TIAC allows plants to maintain high output even during hot weather periods.
