Abstract
An apparatus for increasing the efficiency of a fuel driven turbine generator, including a system comprising a turbo compressor and turbo expander that produces super chilled air mixed with ambient air to produce relatively cool dry inlet air that can be introduced under pressure into the generator. A separation compartment with a passageway extending normal to the travel direction of the chilled air is used to remove ice particles and particulates from the cool inlet air to avoid damage to the turbine blades. Additional apparatuses such as heat exchangers and steam driven turbine generators and chillers, as well as thermal energy storage systems, are contemplated.
