• Near 100% adiabatic cooling – up to 1% power increase for every 1°C temperatur decrease
• Fog inter-cooling-possible – 5% power increase for 1% increase in mass flow
• Negligible pressure drop
• Low capital cost
• Minimal downtime for installation
• Easy retrofit installation – no structural modifications to filter house
• Minimal parasitic load
• Fast ROI
In-house experimental models, like this one-tenth scale filter housing, ensure that research and development are conducted under real-world operating conditions.
The heart of the system is the water-atomizing nozzle, which is being tested here under a variety of conditions. Droplet size has been measured and analyzed in countless trials.
Software tools like Thermoflow GT Pro and GT Master, are available to analyze any existing or projected combustion turbine power station in the world.
A year’s worth of plant process data and climatic data is fed into the analysis. AxEnergy engineers use this information to calculate the precise economic benefits of using the fog system.
Case studies have shown that the fog system, custom-engineered and designed for individual application, can deliver a return on investment in less than 6 months.
