Abstract:
An intake-air cooling type gas turbine power equipment, comprising:a refrigeration system including an evaporator and a refrigerant compressor; an intake-air cooling chamber for cooling air taken in from the atmosphere by said evaporator of said refrigeration system; an intake air heating system that heats the cooled air to thereby obtain dry, low temperature air; an air compressor for compressing the dry, low temperature air to thereby produce compressed air; a combustor for burning a fuel supplied from an external system with the compressed air produced by said air compressor to thereby produce a combustion gas; a gas turbine driven rotationally under the action of said combustion gas produced by said combustor; and an electric generator operatively coupled to a rotor shaft of said gas turbine for generating electric energy, being driven through rotation of said rotor shaft; wherein the refrigerant vapor leaving said evaporator of said refrigeration system is compressed by said refrigerant compressor to be transformed to a pressurized refrigerant vapor, and wherein heat carried by said pressurized refrigerant vapor is supplied to the intake air heating system.
