EnergyFog Systems (EFS) is a company acting in the field of power technology, specifically gas turbines. The main product supplied by EFS is fogging, specifically fogging systems for gas turbines.
Installation of fogging in gas turbines allows the recovery of a substantial part of the rated output of the gas turbine, in order to compensate the important loss of power due to the increase of ambient air temperature.
Fogging is performed by the injection, in the gas turbine air intake, of high-pressure water (demineralised water required) whose adiabatic quick evaporation causes the air temperature to decrease, thus increasing the air mass flow and the gas turbine power output. Other systems allow the decrease of turbine air temperature, but fogging has proven to be the best solution.
EFS is able to design, procure, manufacture and install the fogging system in any type and size of gas turbine, either during the power station construction or as a back fitting of an operating station.
The design of a fogging system is based on the study of the power station site’s historical meteorological conditions (temperature and humidity), in order to define the size and the operating features of the system suitable for the site itself. EFS is able to perform this base study for any type of site.
Once the site-related characteristics are defined, EFS will design the fogging system according to the type of gas turbine involved and the layout of the air intake. EFS is able to perform the design for any type of gas turbine and air intake.
The main components of a fogging system are:
The rack and related connections is the only part installed inside the gas turbine air intake; all the other components are external and can be placed in any convenient adjacent area.
EFS can perform a fogging supply in a very limited time. Since 2005 EFS has supplied more than 20 fogging systems, applied to gas turbines of different types in different countries.
After the commissioning of the fogging system, even taking into account the very simple and economic maintenance required by the system itself, EFS is able to supply post-sale services, such as maintenance of the pumps and replacement of the nozzle if necessary (the expected life of the nozzle is 15,000hr).
EnergyFog Systems’ technology is recognised as a second-generation fogging system design, which has been actively marketed since the middle of 2004. Our advanced technology has achieved rapid acceptance whenever a detailed technical analysis has been carried out and has been proven commercially in many large-size installations. Our reference list for new units is:
Most of our fogging units equip advanced-design, large-capacity gas turbines, which require the highest levels of quality, reliability, and safe operations. Our reference list for retrofit projects is:
