Benefits of Gas Turbine Inlet Cooling
Why AMCO and Fluid Energy?
High Pressure Pump Skid
The high pressure pump skid is the heart of the fogging system. It is where the controls for the system are located. The high pressure pump skid’s primary onboard components have been engineered to meet or exceed the highest industry standards and include:
Demineralizer Water Skid
Before the water is pumped to the high pressure pump skid, it must first pass through the demineralizer water skid. The system components include the following:
The demineralizer cycle works as follows: Water Forwarding Skid
Before the water is pumped to the demineralizer water skid, it must first pass through the water forwarding skid. Because the size of the fogging systems is frequently different, and because there are varying distances and elevation changes from the water source to the turbine, the water forwarding skids can be quite different. Custom-designed skids are available to take water from a lake, river, basin, or other water source and move it into the gas turbine fogging system.

Problem: Compressed air system coalescing and particulate filters cannot handle excessive water and oil loads. It is common for the amount of moisture exiting the aftercooler to exceed 200 PPMw. Most traditional coalescing filters are not efficient when challenged with loads greater than 20 PPMw.Solution:  Sentry Mist Eliminators can easily handle 20 PPMw. Actually, the Sentry Mist Eliminator can remove 99.5% of all liquid loads up to 30,000 PPMw.How it Works: The thick packed-bed filter design continuously drains itself as liquids coalesce, quietly dropping to the sump for draining. Face velocities are extremely low virtually eliminating the possibility of liquid re-entrainment.Benefits

Generator Monitoring Equipment
Fluid Energy has over thirty years experience working with power generators. We understand the critical nature of your business. Fluid Energy can work with you to select and customize monitoring equipment solutions to keep your gas turbines operating and minimize the risk of a catastrophic failure.
Generator Condition Monitors
Generator condition monitors work with a single-pass (or open-ventilation) cooling system in gas turbine generating systems. The generator condition monitor provides real-time monitoring of overheating and arcing. As we operate turbines closer  and closer to their tolerances condition monitoring becomes absolutely necessary to minimize the potential of catastrophic failure.
Generator Condition Features
H2 Purity Monitor 
H2 purity monitors are used in gas turbine power generating units to monitor hydrogen gas purity. H2 purity monitors work with any generator in use today and can be supplied as a stand-alone monitor with display or as part of a larger system. The monitor can be customized with options to meet your plants requirements.
Why Monitor?
High-capacity turbine generators utilize hydrogen gas as a cooling medium because of its excellent heat transfer characteristics and because its low density results in reduced windage losses. Since hydrogen can be explosive when mixed with oxygen, gas purity is an important safety issue. The purity monitor continuously monitoring ensures that purity levels remain within acceptable limits.
Generator Tag Systems
Generator Tag Systems help you find generator "hotspots." Generator Tags are specially synthesized, chemically and thermally stable compounds. They are applied via paint to critical areas of the generator, so that areas of overheating can be identified during sample analysis. Generator Tags can be applied during scheduled maintenance outages.
