Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING AIR-COOLING, AND RELATED POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016104979
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for enabling air-cooling, and related power generation systems.SOLUTION: A cooling system for providing chilled air is disclosed, including: a cooling coil 12; an evaporator 18 and an absorber 30 that are contained within a vacuum chamber 20; and a desiccant 32 that absorbs water vapor from a cooling process. The system also includes an external heat source for treating the desiccant; along with a regenerator 46 to make the desiccant reusable. At least one heat exchanger 52 is also included, along with a source 66 of make-up water in communication with the cooling coil. Related processes are also disclosed, along with a gas turbine engine 14 that includes or is arranged in association with the cooling system.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
