Sprint (Spray Intercooling System) Skids are used to cool the air entering the compressors of aero-derivative gas turbines by “vaporizing” water. The water is sprayed/vaporized very close to the compressor inlet.

They are used to:

• Reduce combustion air temperature.
• Boost turbine output power.
• Increase exhaust energy by injecting fine water droplets into the inlet and interstage air stream.
