<p>The invention involves an apparatus (10) and method for chilling and scrubbing air to be used in a gas turbine. The apparatus (10) includes at least one spray scrubbing area (14), where the water is collected, recirculated, and filtered. Cooling is accomplished with at least one evaporative cooling media (34), such as a packed bed. Optionally the water sprayed into contact with the air may be chilled. At least one drift eliminator (90) is employed prior to the air leaving the apparatus to at least partially dehumidify the air prior to use by the gas turbine. The turbine inlet air may be cleaned of solid contaminants, such as sand, dirt, and ash, and of entrained liquid contaminants such as seawater.</p> |
