ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described to evaporatively cool air leading to a gas turbine engine by injecting water fog into the inlet air in a controlled manner. A signal is generated representative of the capacity of the inlet air stream to absorb water vapor and used to regulate the amount of fog introduced into the inlet air stream.
