Maximize Existing Asset
TIAC chills inlet air to the ideal design temperature--regardless of ambient conditions--providing up to 35 percent more output.
Improve Heat Rate And Reduce Emissions
When installed on a combined cycle plant, TIAC can reduce emissions by providing peak capacity at combined cycle heat rates and lower emissions than a peaking plant. In addition, TIAC can be fueled by renewable energy or waste heat.
Enhance Operational Stability And Flexibility, Including Opportunity For Energy Storage
TIAC systems can incoporate thermal energy storage, shifting power required to run the chilling system to off-peak times, when power is in less demand.
Improve Financial Performance
For power producers, increased output and operational flexibility provide more power for dispatch during peak periods. And while actual numbers depend on many factors, a TIAC system costs less than the capital investment of a new turbine or peaking plant. For LNG liquefiers, this translates to more production at a consistent and predictable rate.
Improve Power Plant Life Cycle Cost
TIAC systems can be installed on combined cycle plants to provide peaking capacity with superior heat rates to those of simple cycle peaking plants. By improving the heat rate, TIAC increases the power per unit of fuel, thus making the gas turbine more efficient.
