ABSTRACT:
An improved technique is disclosed for a combustion-based power generation system that includes a combustion chamber having an exhaust, a source of input air for the combustion chamber, a source of fuel for the combustion chamber, and a turbine and generator communicating with the combustion chamber for obtaining power from the combustion. The method includes the steps of: heating and humidifying the input air; sensing a condition of the heated and humidified input air, and generating a control signal in response to the sensed condition; and cooling the heated and humidified input air before it is input to the combustion chamber. Humidified input air that is at too high a temperature, or which is not saturated, is sensed, and appropriate trim cooling is provided to obtain the desired condition for the humidified input air. In this manner, maximum humidification is achieved while avoiding overheating and maintaining operating temperature in a desired range.
