The humid air turbine (HAT), patented by FLuor Daniel, is an innovative cycle which allows to obtain an increase in efficiency and power production. The modification proposed by DEF allows to optimize the plant when natural gas is injected in the combustion chamber. Assuming a TIT (Temperature Inlet Turbine) at 1273°K and the cooling of recirculating water in the refrigerators, we studied the effects of the relative humidity and the compression ration on the cycle's performances. The aim of this paper is to suggest the parameters which allow to obtain high efficiency with high specific power, the possibility to modulate power production without a decrease in efficiency and low water consumption.

Abstract
The humid air turbine (HAT), patented by FLuor Daniel, is an innovative cycle which allows to obtain an increase in efficiency and power production. The modification proposed by DEF allows to optimize the plant when natural gas is injected in the combustion chamber. Assuming a TIT (Temperature Inlet Turbine) at 1273°K and the cooling of recirculating water in the refrigerators, we studied the effects of the relative humidity and the compression ration on the cycle's performances. The aim of this paper is to suggest the parameters which allow to obtain high efficiency with high specific power, the possibility to modulate power production without a decrease in efficiency and low water consumption.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
