Abstract
Existing technologies to improve the fuel and energy efficiency of gas turbine plants due to intercooling of the cycle air are analyzed. One of the promising ways for increasing the efficiency of such technologies is using thermogasdynamic compression in the heat recovery processes of secondary energy resources. A feature of this process is the pressure rate increase due to the instant evaporation of a finely dispersed liquid is injected into the air stream which accelerated to the speed of sound. When the pressure of the boiling liquid is increased, the power consumption for compressing the working fluid (cyclic air) is reduced, the efficiency is increased and the consumption of the fuel and energy resources of the gas turbine plant is reduced.The advantages of cooling technology with an aerothermopressor are outlined in the article. The aerothermopressor is a multifunctional jet apparatus, whose work consists in injecting water into the stream of cyclic air when it is compressed in the gas turbine plant compressor. If this apparatus is used for cooling of cycle air, it will be compensate for aerodynamic losses along the air path and it will reduce compression work in the compressor, increase the consumption of the working fluid and, as a result, increase the gas turbine plant power. The basic schemes of the aerothermopressor installation between the stages of low and high pressure compressors are considered. Theoretical thermodynamic cycles of such gas turbine plants are presented and the advantage of using a contact cooler for intercooling of the cyclic air in comparison with surface air coolers for intercooling is defined in this paper.The proposed cooling technology makes it possible using low-potential heat of secondary energy resources of gas turbine plants (heat of cyclic air), the utilization of which by traditional methods is problematic because the temperature of waste heat sources is low.The tasks are determined, the solution of which will ensure the possibility of rational organization of cooling processes in the aerothermopressor, which in turn will allow achieving optimal parameters for increasing the efficiency of the gas turbine plant and reducing the specific fuel consumption in relation to the variable climatic conditions of operation
