SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AIR-COOLING, AND RELATED POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A cooling system 10 for providing chilled air is disclosed, including a cooling coil 12; an evaporator 18 and absorber 30 contained within a vacuum chamber 20; and a desiccant 32 that absorbs water vapor from the cooling process. The system also includes an external heat source for treating the desiccant; along with a regenerator 46 to make the desiccant re-useable. At least one heat exchanger 52 is also included, along with a source of make-up water 28 in communication with the cooling coil. Related processes are also disclosed, along with a gas turbine engine that includes or is arranged in association with the cooling system.
