IMPORTANT NOTE

Please note that effective June 2006, TC 8.7 has merged with TC 1.10 (Cogeneration Systems) as its Subcommittee for Combustion Turbine Inlet Cooling (CTIC). The first meeting of this new subcommittee will be held on January 29, Monday, 4:15-5PM in Majestic 1 (37th Floor of Admas Mark Hotel).

WINTER MEETING 2006 (CHICAGO, IL)
TC8.7 Sponsors Technical Seminar #14
Applications "Challenges of Gas Combustion Turbine Inlet Cooling"
January 22 (Sunday) at 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.

Chair: William J. Mc Auliffe, Member, York International, Houston, TX

The unique challenges, technical or geographical, in applying inlet air cooling to a combustion gas turbine are discussed. This
seminar delves into the considerations and practices that should be applied on modifying an existing turbine inlet housing, geographical challenges in a water limited dry desert climate, and adapting technologies used in other industries to this application.

1. Challenges of Turbine Inlet Cooling in Water Limited High Temperature Environment
Kurt Liebendorfer, Member, The Stellar Group, Jacksonville, FL

2. Applying the Bulk Air Cooler to Turbine Inlet Cooling
James Furlong, Member, Baltimore Air Coil, Jessup, MD

3. Challenges and Considerations in Modifying Existing Combustion Turbine Inlets for Turbine Inlet Cooling
Ted Bezat, Donaldson, Minneapolis, MN

SUMMER MEETING 2005 (DENVER, CO)

Sponsored Symposium DE--05--06

Applications of Combustion Turbine Inlet Air Cooling Applications

Monday, June 27, 2004 9 a.m. - 9:05 a.m.

Chair: Dharam V. Punwani, Member, Avalon Consulting, Inc., Naperville, IL

When ambient air temperatures are high, cooling the air before it enters the compressor of a combustion turbine system is well known to improve the system’s net power output. The papers in this symposium will discuss some of the recent applications of and developments in combustion turbine inlet cooling.

1. Cooling the Hot Desert Wind: Turbine Inlet Cooling Increases Net Power Plant Output by 30%
Kurt M. Liebendorfer, Member, The Stellar Group, Jacksonville, FL; John S. Andrepont, Member, The Cool Solutions Company, Lisle, IL

2. Power Fogger Cycle
Donald C. Erickson, Ph.D., Member, Energy Concepts Co., Annapolis, MD

3. Analyzing the Potential for Condensate Carry-over from an Inlet Cooling Coil
Thomas C. Tillman, P.E., Member, Douglas W. Backlund and John Penton, Turbine Air Systems, Ltd., Houston, TX
