WATER RECOVERY

A system and method for recovering clean water from the air flowing into and through a gas turbine engine. Low pressure air drawn from the engine compressor is fed to a receiver. Compressed air from a higher stage of the compressor is cooled by atmospheric air which may be previously spray-cooled. T...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for recovering clean water from the air flowing into and through a gas turbine engine. Low pressure air drawn from the engine compressor is fed to a receiver. Compressed air from a higher stage of the compressor is cooled by atmospheric air which may be previously spray-cooled. The compressed air is further cooled by heat exchange with exhaust air from the system, and then expanded to further cool the air and lower its pressure. The two flows of air are then mixed in a receiver about 0 DEG C. to precipitate water from the mixed air flow. The water collected in the receiver is used for cooling the turbine of the engine and also, if desired, for spray cooling the atmospheric air referred to above. The air discharged from the receiver is used to cool the compressed air and then discharged to exhaust.
