Claim:
A gas turbine, comprising: a compressor for compressing and discharging air supplied thereto; a combustor in which fuel is combusted with the air discharged from said compressor; a turbine driven by the combusted gas of said combustor; and a liquid droplet injection device for injecting fine liquid droplets in inlet air to be supplied to said compressor; said liquid droplet injection device including atomizing nozzles disposed on the upstream side of the compressor; feed water means connected to said atomizing nozzles; and a control device for controlling an amount of liquid droplets to be injected from said atomizing nozzles such that the liquid droplets are partially evaporated in the inlet air to cool the inlet air to be supplied into said compressor, and the remaining injected liquid droplets are supplied into said compressor together with the inlet air and are further evaporated in said compressor.
