Validation of Patented Wet Compression Technology
Wet compression is much more than spraying water into the turbine. Wet compression on a combustion turbine must be applied systematically and only after a thorough evaluation of the effects on the combustion turbine and all the auxiliaries. The improper design and application of wet compression can cause significant damage to the combustion turbine. …
