A method and apparatus for filtering and cooling air used by a gas turbine. Heat conducting liquid is pumped from a reservoir pool, routed through a heat exchanger, and pumped through a plurality of spray nozzles and allowed to fall as a shower back into the pool. At least some of the heat is extracted from the liquid as it passes through the heat transducer. The energy to run the pump is provided by the transduction of waste heat from the heat conducting liquid and/or from the hot gasses passing through the gas turbine exhaust. The air intake for the turbine is routed through the shower, where foreign particles and contaminants are removed physically and/or chemically removed therefrom.
