Abstract

In this study, Main purpose is design of fog cooling system in inlet air channel of Abadan oil refinery gas turbine. Abadan oil refinery has seven gas turbines with 29.7 mega watt capacity for each one in ISO condition that their production power will reduce with increase of ambient temperature specially in hot months. Therefore, installation a cooling system for cooling inlet air to gas turbines is necessary. In this manner, for investigation of system performance, equation of continuity, momentum and energy solved for each phase (air and droplet) with usage Eulerian-Lagrangian approach by ANSYS Fluent software in discrete phase model. Results of temperature proration and particle tracking show that by installation fog system, crossing air temperature through channel decrease amount 13.5 degree centigrade and also most of particles have enough time for evaporation and their remainder out from channel with allowable and acceptable diameter. Efficiency of cooling system is 67.5 percentage.
