ABSTRACT:
The power produced by a gas turbine system is augmented by a heat exchanger for contacting and cooling humid ambient air with cooler water, and a precompressor device for compressing said cooled ambient air to produce pressurized air that is warmer than ambient air and has a lower relative humidity. An evaporative cooler, which is supplied with the warmed water, is provided for cooling said pressurized air to produce cooled pressurized air at about ambient air temperature and relative humidity, which is supplied to the main compressor. Cold storage means aids compressor inlet air cooling during peak use.
