摘要：

A Moisture Air Turbine (MAT) cycle is proposed for improving the characteristics of land-based gas turbines by injecting atomized water through an inlet into a compressor. Compressor work of isentropic compression for moist air mixtures with phase change is theoretically considered, which has revealed that water evaporation may reduce compressor work. An experiment using a 15 MW class axial flow load compressor has also verified the theory. Realistic cycle model calculations predict that a 10% power increment by a ratio of 1% water to compressor intake air is expected and also that the amount of water consumption is much less than that of conventional inlet air cooling systems, used for heat rejection at the cooling tower. In addition, thermal efficiency is anticipated to be improved mainly due to the reduction of compressor work. Contrary to the conventional evaporative cooler, a MAT cycle could provide power output at a desired value within its capability regardless of ambient humidity condition.
