Abstract:

The comparative analysis of the path structure in the compressor intake inlet of the gas turbine unit GTE-160 LMZ on two difference designs of air duct with intake inlet connection is given. Trajectories of the liquid drops, injected by atomizers for the compressor's flow path on-line washing from fouling are investigated. Data for the analysis are received with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), Fluent program usage.
