The efficiency of air cooling at the inlet of gas turbine engines by exhaust heat conversion chiller, which transforms the GTE exhaust gases heat into cold, under variable climatic operating conditions, has been investigated. Considered is the use of a combined absorption-ejector exhaust heat conversion chiller with a step-by-step principle of air cooling at the gas turbine engines inlet: preliminary down to 15°C – by an absorption lithium-bromide chiller (ACh), which is used as a high-temperature air cooling stage, and further cooling down to 10°C – by a refrigerant ejector chiller (ECh) as a low-temperature cooling stage. Reserves have been identified for reducing the design (installed) refrigeration capacity of chillers by accumulating excess cold at reduced current heat loads with its use at increased heat loads. In this case, the design (installed) refrigeration capacity of chillers was determined by two methods: the first – based on the close to the maximum reduction in annual fuel consumption, the second – according to the maximum rate of increase in the reduction in annual fuel consumption. A scheme of the air cooling system at the gas turbine engines inlet using the refrigeration capacity reserve of the ACh, which provides preliminary cooling of the ambient air at the gas turbine engines inlet, in the booster stage, using the ACh accumulated excess refrigeration capacity has been proposed. The ACh excess refrigerating capacity, which is formed at decreased heat loads on the air coolers at the gas turbine engines inlet, is accumulated in the cold accumulator and is used at increased heat loads. The simulation results show the advisability of using the air cooling system at the gas turbine engine inlet with using the ACh accumulated excess refrigeration capacity, which allows reducing the ACh design (installed) refrigeration capacity by approximately 40%.

The processes of air cooling at the gas turbine unit inlet by absorption lithium-bromide chiller have been analyzed. The computer programs of firms-producers of heat exchangers were used for the gas turbine unit inlet air cooling processes simulation. The absorption lithium-bromide chiller refrigeration capacity reserve (the design heat load excess over the current heat loads) generated at the reduced current heat loads on the air coolers at the gas turbine unit inlet in accordance with the lowered ambient air parameters has been considered. The absorption lithium-bromide chiller refrigeration capacity reserve is expedient to use at increased heat load on the air cooler. To solve this problem the refrigeration capacity required for cooling air at the gas turbine unit inlet has been compared with the excessive absorption lithium-bromide chiller refrigeration capacity exceeding current heat loads during July 2017.The scheme of gas turbine unit inlet air cooling system with using the absorption lithium-bromide chiller refrigeration capacity reserve has been proposed. The proposed air cooling system provides gas turbine unit inlet air precooling in the air cooler booster stage by using the absorption lithium-bromide chiller excessive refrigeration capacity. The absorption chiller excessive refrigeration capacity generated during decreased heat loads on the gas turbine unit inlet air cooler is accumulated in the thermal storage. The results of simulation show the expediency of the gas turbine unit inlet air cooling by using the absorption lithium-bromide chiller refrigeration capacity reserve, which is generated at reduced thermal loads, for the air precooling in the air cooler booster stage. This solution provides the absorption lithium-bromide chiller installed (designed) refrigeration capacity and cost reduction by almost 30%. The solution to increase the efficiency of gas turbine unit inlet air cooling through using the absorption chiller excessive refrigeration potential accumulated in the thermal storage has been proposed.

Abstract Cooling systems with liquid for gas turbine engines that use the relative motion of the engine stator with respect to the rotor for actuating the coolant pump can be encapsulated within the engine rotor. In this manner, the difficult problem of sealing stator/rotor interfaces at high temperature, pressure and relative velocity is circumvented. A first generation of such cooling systems could be manufactured using existing technologies and would boost the thermal efficiency of gas turbine engines by more than 2% compared to recent designs that use advanced air-cooling methods. Later, relative cooling systems could increase the thermal efficiency of gas turbine engines by 8%–11% by boosting the temperatures at turbine inlet to stoichiometric levels and recovering most of the heat extracted from turbine during cooling. The appreciated high reliability of this cooling system will allow widespread use for aerospace propulsion.

Two-stage Gas turbine unite (GTU) inlet air cooling by absorption lithium-bromide chiller (ACh) to the temperature 15 °C and by refrigerant ejector chiller (ECh) to 10 °C through utilizing the turbine exhaust gas heat for changeable ambient air temperatures and corresponding heat loads on the air coolers for the south Ukraine climatic conditions is analysed. An excessive refrigeration capacity of combined absorption-ejector chiller (AECh) exceeding the current heat loads and generated at decreased heat loads on the air coolers at the inlet of GTU can be used for covering increased heat loads to reduce the refrigeration capacity of AECh. The GTU inlet air cooling system with an ambient air precooling booster stage and a base two-stage cooling air to the temperature 10 °C by AECh is proposed. The AECh excessive cooling capacity generated during decreased heat loads on the GTU inlet air coolers is conserved in the thermal accumulator and used for GTU inlet air precooling in a booster stage of air cooler during increased heat loads. There is AECh cooling capacity reduction by 50% due to the use of a booster stage for precooling GTU inlet ambient air at the expense of an excessive cooling capacity accumulated in the thermal storage.

The processes of the gas turbine inlet air cooling by exhaust heat conversion chillers, which utilizing the gas turbine exhaust gas heat, converting it into cold were analyzed. The use of two-stage air cooling has been investigated: to a temperature of 15°C – in an absorption lithium-bromide chiller and below to a temperature of 10°C – in an ejector chiller as stages of a two-stage absorption-ejector chiller. To simulate air cooling processes, the program "Guentner Product Calculator", one of the leading manufacturers of heat exchangers "Guentner", was used. The possibility of using the accumulated excess refrigeration capacity of a combined absorption-ejector chiller, which is formed at reduced current heat loads on air coolers at the gas turbine inlet, to cover the refrigeration capacity deficit arising at increased heat loads due to high ambient air temperatures has been investigated. The refrigeration capacity required to the gas turbine inlet air cooling was compared to an excess refrigeration capacity which excess of the current heat load. The considered air cooling system provides pre-cooling of air at the gas turbine inlet by using the excess refrigeration capacity of the absorption-ejector chiller, accumulated in the cold accumulator, to provide the required refrigeration capacity of the air pre-cooling booster stage. The simulation results proved the expediency of the gas turbine inlet air cooling using the accumulated excess refrigeration capacity of the combined absorption-ejector chiller. The proposed solution reduces by about 50% the design refrigeration capacity and, accordingly, the cost of the installed absorption lithium-bromide chiller, which acts as a high-temperature stage for cooling the ambient air at the gas turbine inlet.

This paper deals with the thermodynamic performance of complex gas turbine cycles involving inter-cooling, re-heating and regeneration. The performance has been evaluated based on the mathematical modeling of various elements of gas turbine for the real situation. The fuel selected happens to be natural gas and the internal convection / film / transpiration air cooling of turbine bladings have been assumed. The analysis has been applied to the current state-of-the-art gas turbine technology and cycle parameters in four classes: Large industrial, Medium industrial, Aero-derivative and Small industrial. The results conform with the performance of actual gas turbine engines. It has been observed that the plant efficiency is higher at lower inter-cooling (surface), reheating and regeneration yields much higher efficiency and specific power as compared to simple cycle. There exists an optimum overall compression ratio and turbine inlet temperature in all types of complex configuration. The advanced turbine blade materials and coating withstand high blade temperature, yields higher efficiency as compared to lower blade temperature materials.
