Munk, M

An improved turbine apparatus is described comprising: a turbine power generator, including a source of input air, and a source of fuel, a compressor which receives the input air, a combustion chamber which receives air from the output of the compressor and fuel from the source of fuel, a turbine which receives exhaust gases from the combustion chamber; and an electrical generator mechanically coupled with the turbine. A fogging device communicates with the input air. The fogging device is adapted to receive a fogger air supply and a fogger water supply, and to generate a fog in the input air; means for sensing noxious emissions in the exhaust gases; and means for controlling the fogging device in accordance with the sensed noxious emissions.
