| description | Gas turbines are one of the common methods for generating electrical energy. However, reducing the output power by increasing the air temperature is one of the problems of these turbines. Common methods to compensate for the power drop of gas turbines are often based on turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC) technology or injecting steam or water into the turbine as humidified gas turbine (HGT) that causes an increase in its output power. However, these technologies often require high consumption of fresh water which limits their use in dry and low-water areas. Therefore this study has investigated the connection of a spray freezing desalination to a steam-injected gas turbine (STIG) through a reverse Brayton cycle for increasing its output power by consuming saltwater. This spray freezing desalination is a process based on eutectic freeze crystallization (EFC) technology that uses compressed air in a turbo expander to produce chilled air that can crystallize the droplet of sprayed saline water. This desalination technology has the potential of zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Therefore, with the possibility of using a saline water source such as reverse osmosis (RO) brine in this process, in addition to increasing the output power of gas turbines, it will be possible to reduce the environmental problems related to its disposal. |
