Evaporative cooling systems (Media & Fog) cannot be used in humid regions as their effectiveness is low. To encounter this problem, Cooling system based on chillers could be used in these areas. Compression and absorption type chillers can be applied for cooling the inlet air depending on site condition, Turbine type, etc.

Absorption type Chiller

Compression type Chiller

This technology can be implemented with both compression and absorption systems and is particularly useful to increase the power output of a power plant during peak hours. This technology consists in storing cooling energy during 24 hours per day, which will be used to cool the turbines inlet air during the required hours.
