Abstract
A closed cycle gas turbine system is described employing a precooler for cooling the gas prior to compression. A closed loop coolant circuit for the precooler employs a heat exchanger. A storage tank is provided for storing a supply of coolant at a temperature substantially lower than the temperature of coolant in the coolant circuit at the discharge side of the heat exchanger. Means selectively circulate the coolant in the storage tank through the precooler to provide a power increase, when needed, in the gas turbine system.
