<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for conditioning an airstream entering a turbomachine. <P>SOLUTION: In an embodiment, an air conditioning system (ACS) (200) for conditioning the airstream entering an air-consuming machine, such as, but not limiting of, a gas turbine. Conditioning may be considered as a process that adjusts at least one physical property of the airstream. The physical property may comprises: a wet-bulb temperature, a dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, density, or the like. In an embodiment, the major components of the ACS (200) may be located in a single structure, which may be considered a module (205). Depending on the application of the ACS (200), multiple modules (205) may be physically and/or operationally integrated on the air-consuming machine. An alternate embodiment of the ACS (200) may comprise a module (205) having multiples stages. Here, each stage may operate independently other stages. Furthermore, each stage may use a separate fluid from other stages. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
