The efficiency of air cooling at the inlet of the main low-speed engine turbocharger of a transport vessel during operation in tropical climatic conditions on the Shanghai-Singapore-Shanghai route was analyzed. A feature of the tropical climate is the high relative humidity, respectively, moisture content at its simultaneously high temperatures. The cooling of the air at the inlet of a low-speed engine with an ejector chiller by transforming the waste heat of exhaust gases into cold was studied. The ejector chiller is used as the most simple and reliable in operation. However, the efficiency of the transformation of heat into cold by ejector chillers is low - low thermal coefficients.A design solution of the system for cooling air at the inlet of the ship's main engine using the heat of the exhaust gases by an ejector chiller is proposed and analyzed. The effect of using the heat of the exhaust gases to cool the air at the engine inlet is analyzed taking into account the variable climatic conditions during the voyage of the vessel. It is shown that because of the insufficiently high efficiency of transforming the waste heat of the exhaust gases by an ejector chiller (low thermal coefficients), the obtained cooling capacity is not sufficient for cooling the air at the inlet of the turbocompressor during operation of a marine engine in tropical climatic conditions. Therefore, the possibility of use in the ejector chiller of additional heat of charge air, which is removed by cooling water, is also considered. It is shown that the use of the heat of exhaust gases and charge air for cooling the air at the engine inlet in an ejector chiller makes it possible to double decrease the air temperature at the inlet of the main engine by 20-30 °C when the vessel operates in tropical climatic conditions on a voyage lines Shanghai-Singapore-Shanghai. This, in turn, provides an almost twice fuel consumption reduction in compared with its reduction in the case when the ejector chiller uses only the heat of the exhaust gases.

The operation of gas turbine unites significantly depends on the ambient air temperature at the inlet, and the higher it is, the greater the specific fuel consumption is spent for the production of a unit capacity (mechanical/electrical energy), and, accordingly, the more harmful substances are removed to the atmosphere with exhaust gases. To reduce the negative impact of unproductive fuel consumption during the operation of gas turbine units at elevated ambient temperatures, the inlet air cooling is applied. The paper studies the ecological efficiency of gas turbine unite inlet air cooling, taking into account the variable climatic operation conditions for regions with different climatic conditions over a period of five years (2014-2018): temperate climate of Ukraine (on the example of cities Sumy and Ternopol) and the subtropical climate of the PRC (cities Beijing and Nanjing). The annual reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide CO2 and nitric oxide NOX was chosen as indicators for assessing the environmental effect of air cooling. It has been shown that deeper cooling gas turbine unite inlet air to 7...10 °C provides almost a half to two times greater reduction in specific fuel consumption, respectively, and harmful emissions compared with traditional cooling to 15 °C by the most widespread absorption lithium-bromide chillers, and for the temperate climate of Ukraine the relative effect is much greater than for the subtropical climatic conditions of the PRC. Reducing carbon dioxide CO2 over five years for the PRC climate when cooling air to 10 °C is approximately more than 500 t, and for Ukraine – more than 240 t, and NOX nitric oxide – about 3.5 t for China and 1.6 t for Ukraine, while with traditional cooling to 15 °C: more than 300 t for China, and for Ukraine about 120 t, and nitric oxide NOX – about 2 t for China and 0.7 t for Ukraine. Based on the results of a rough assessment of the environmental effect of cooling the ambient air at the inlet of gas turbine units, in the temperate climate of Ukraine, deep cooling of the air is especially advisable, which provides almost twice the effect compared with traditional cooling to 15 °C.

It is proposed the definition of the installed (rational) refrigeration capacity of a waste heat-recovery absorption-ejector chiller that utilizes the heat of the exhaust gases of a gas turbine unite to cool the air at the inlet. Since the effect of air cooling, in particular in the form of a reduction in the specific fuel consumption, depends on its depth (the magnitude of the decrease in air temperature) and duration, it is proposed to determine it by the annual fuel economy. As an example of air cooling at the inlet of a gas turbine unit, the value of reducing specific fuel consumption due to cooling the air at the inlet to the temperature of 15 °C by an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and two-stage air cooling: to a temperature of 15 °C in an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and down to 10 °C – in a refrigerant ejector chiller as the stages of a two-stage absorption-ejector chiller, depending on the installed (design) refrigeration capacity is analyzed.It is shown that proceeding from the different rate of increment of the annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption due to the change in the thermal load in accordance with the current climatic conditions, it is necessary to choose such design heat load for the air cooling system (installed refrigeration capacity of the chillers), which ensures the achievement of the maximum or close to annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption at relatively high rates of its increment. In order to determine the installed refrigeration capacity, which ensures the maximum annual refrigeration capacity (annual production of cold), the dependence of the increment of annual fuel economy from the installed refrigeration capacity is analyzed. Based on the results of the investigation, it was proposed to determine the rational thermal load of the air cooling system (installed - the design refrigeration capacity of the chiller) in accordance with the changing climatic conditions of operation during the year, which provides a maximum annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption at relatively high rates of its increment

This paper first proposes a technique of computing air temperature and humidity in stables based on outdoor air parameters and biological production of animals. The computation technique is outlined. The calculated values are then used to assess the potential of evaporation cooling in mild climatic conditions. Graphs illustrate the assumed effect of evaporation cooling equipment inside a stable housing of egg laying hens. Used in the computation were hourly meteorological readings obtained during the period May to August in years 2000 to 2002, in the locality with a potential installation of a cooling system. Other Graphs illustrate the time the animals spent in an environment with a particular air temperature. For instance in June 2002, the time animals in the stable were exposed to temperatures 27°C or higher was reduced by using an air cooling system from 39 h to 22 h, and in July 2002 from 33 h to 4 h. The envisaged model can be modified for other kinds of gallinaceous poultry and pigs.

The current study is centered on assessing the benefits of incorporating combustion turbine inlet air-cooling systems into a reference combustion turbine plant, which is based on a simple cycle under base load mode. Actual climatic conditions of a selected site were examined thoroughly to identify the different governing weather patterns. The main performance characteristics of both refrigerative and evaporative cooling systems were explored by examining the effect of several parameters including inlet air temperature, airflow-to-turbine output ratio, coefficient of performance (for refrigerative cooling systems), and evaporative degree hours (for evaporative cooling systems). The impact of these parameters was presented against the annual gross energy increase, average heat rate reduction, cooling load requirements and net power increase. Finally, a feasibility design chart was constructed to outline the economic returns of employing a refrigerative cooling unit against different prescribed inlet air temperature values using a wide range of combustion turbine mass flow rates.

The efficiency of air cooling at the inlet of the main low speed engine of a transport vessel during operation in tropical climatic conditions on the Shanghai-Karachi-Shanghai route was analyzed. The peculiarity of the tropical climate is the high relative humidity of the air at the same time its high temperatures, and hence the increased thermal load on the cooling system, which requires efficient transformation of the waste heat into the cold in the case of the use of waste heat recovery refrigeration machines. The cooling of the air at the inlet of the low speed engine by absorption lithium bromide chillers, which are characterized by high efficiency of transformation of waste heat into cold – by high coefficients of performance, is investigated. A schematic-construction solution of the air cooling system at the inlet of the ship's main engine using the heat of exhaust gases by an absorption chiller is proposed and analyzed. With this the cooling potential of the inlet air cooling from the current ambient air temperature to 15 ° C and the corresponding heat consumption for the operation of the adsorption chiller, on the one hand, was compared with the available exhaust gas heat potential, on the other hand. The effect of using the exhaust gas heat to cool the air at the inlet of the engine has been analyzed taking into account the changing climatic conditions during the voyage. Enhancement of fuel efficiency of the ship's engine by reducing the inlet air temperature were evaluated by current values of the reduction in specific and total fuel consumption. It is shown that due to the high efficiency of heat conversion in absorption chillers (high coefficients of performance 0.7…0.8), a significant amount of excessive exhaust gas heat over the heat required to cool the ambient air at the inlet of the engine to 15 ° C, which reaches almost half of the available exhaust gas heat during the Shanghai-Karachi-Shanghai route. This reveals the possibility of additional cooling a scavenge air too with almost double fuel economy due to the cooling of all cycle air of the low speed engine, including the air at the inlet.

The cold output for the heat-moisture treatment of ambient air in air conditioning systems depends on its parameters (temperature and relative humidity), which vary significantly during operation. To determine the installed (design) cooling capacity of air conditioning system chillers, it is proposed to use a reduction in fuel consumption of a power plant or cooling capacity generation following its current conditioning spending over a certain period, since both of these indicators characterize the efficiency of using the installed cooling capacities of the air conditioning system. To extend the results of the investigation to a wide range of air conditioning units, two methods were used to determine the design cooling capacity (refrigerating capacity): by the maximum annual value and by the maximum growth rate of the efficiency indicator. The first method allows choosing the design cooling capacity, which provides a maximum annual reduction in the specific fuel consumption due to air cooling or maximum cooling capacity generation, which is necessary for air cooling following current climatic conditions. The second method allows determining the minimum design (installed) cooling capacity of chillers, which provides the maximum rate of reduction in fuel consumption by the power plant and the increment in the annual cooling capacity generation following the installed cooling capacity of chillers. The efficiency of air conditioning systems was analyzed for different climatic conditions: a temperate climate using the example of Voznesensk city (Ukraine) and the subtropical climate of Nanjing city (China). It is shown that the design cooling capacity values calculated by both indicators of its use efficiency are the same for the same climatic conditions. Wherein, if to determine the design cooling capacity by both methods - by the maximum annual value and the maximum rate of growth of the indicator, its values turned out to be quite close for tropical climatic conditions and somewhat different for a temperate climate.
