    Cooling Inlet

    Uploaded by

    Ching Wei Hong
    Donaldson offers two well-proven inlet air cooling methods: evaporative cooling and Chiller Coils. Cooled air is denser, giving the turbine a higher mass-flow rate and increased power output. Designs range in size from 25,000 cfm to 1,300,000 ccm, and are available with choices in media efficiency and materials.

    Cooling Inlet Air Improves Turbine Output


    Choose Evaporative Cooler or Chiller Coils to Create Higher Mass-Flow Rate

    even by a few degrees -- can inlet hoods
    increase power output substan-
    tially. This is because cooled air is
    denser, giving the turbine a higher
    mass-flow rate and resulting in
    increased turbine output and
    efficiency -- even as much as 0.4%
    per degree Fahrenheit or about
    0.7% per degree Celsius. (See
