Overview:
Turbine inlet cooling is the most widely used cooling method with primary application of enhancing the power output of combustion turbine. Turbine inlet cooling process is cooling of air before it enters the compressor that supplies high pressure air. Turbine inlet cooling allows plant owners to prevent output power loss and even increase the output of combustion turbine by cooling the air below ambient temperature. Growing need of power and energy is primarily vital factor for the growth of power generation plants. With technological advancement in turbine inlet cooling systems, it has become more affordable and compatible for combustion turbines. Turbine inlet cooling systems find vital application of increasing power efficiency of such power plant by lowering down the temperature of air. Due to such vital application, with increasing number of power generation plants, turbine inlet cooling system is expected to witness immense growth in coming years.
Increasing concern of environmental protection and focus on generation of clean energy has led down the reduction in coal based power plant. Owing to reduction in coal based power plant shifts the trend towards gas fired power plants. With increasing number of gas fired power plants, gas turbines are set to find promising demand over the period. As well as, due to power enhancing application increasing demand for gas turbine will escalate the demand for turbine inlet cooling system market. Another factor for turbine inlet cooling systems market growth is rising traction towards distributed power generation plants. Due to operational feasibility and maintenance ease power generation is witnessing shift from centralized systems to power generating integrated networks. This trend is boosting the demand for gas fired turbines along with potential turbine inlet cooling systems.
North America is standing as leading turbine inlet cooling system market. Immense market growth in this region is credited to presence of majority turbine inlet cooling system manufacturers. Early adoption of natural gas power generation in North America is also leading to rise in gas fired power plants which is paving for turbine inlet cooling systems market growth. As well as, due to drop in plant efficiency at high temperature environmental condition Middle East countries are showing high potential for turbine inlet cooling systems market. Growing energy demand due to rapidly growing industries and power utilization leading to witness great potential for turbine inlet cooling system market in Asia Pacific region.
