Turbine inlet air cooling

Turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC) is a group of technologies and techniques consisting of cooling down the intake air of the gas turbine. It is also known by other names, including turbine inlet cooling (TIC) and gas turbine inlet air cooling (GTIAC). The direct consequence of cooling the turbine inlet air is power output augmentation. It may also improve the energy efficiency of the system. This technology is widely used in hot climates with high ambient temperatures that usually coincides with on-peak demand period.
