Abstract

Output power and efficiency of gas turbines are influenced by ambient temperatures. Various studies prove that when ambient temperature rises the density of air decreases. This led to a decrease in the intake air mass flow to the turbine and consequently decrease in power output as power output is proportional to intake air mass flow rate. If no supplementary measures will be taken, both gas turbine output and efficiency drop. One of the measures that have been proposed is absorption chiller cooling for cooling of intake air of gas turbines. Absorption chiller cooling recovers heat from turbine exhaust gases, which it uses to produce chilled water in double effect lithium bromide absorption chiller. The chilled water is passed through a heat exchanger to cool the ambient air temperature. This proposed model is to be investigated using the operation data of the steam absorption chillers and turbines that are installed at the gas district cooling Universiti Teknologi Petronas. The operation data of the available steam absorption chillers and gas turbines will be used to establish the appropriate heat exchanger size for the proposed model. Simulation of the model using the available district cooling data will be done. The model could then be used for future prototype development of the system. The system would be useful for performance enhancement of gas turbines when ambient temperatures are high. © 2006-2018 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
