Gas turbine inlet air cooling system using ultrasonic water atomization, corresponding cooling method and wet compression system

The present application provides an inlet air cooling system (100) for cooling a flow air (130) in a gas turbine engine (110). The inlet air cooling system (100) may include an inlet filter house (190), a transition piece (200), an inlet duct (210), and an inlet ultrasonic water atomization system (300) positioned about the inlet filter house (190), the transition piece (200), or the inlet duct (210) to cool the flow of air (130).
