Introducing Viledon® eee.Sy

When the climate is hot, it pays to stay cool

Viledon® eee.Sy is a complete turnkey system for filtering and cooling inlet air to improve the output of gas turbines, engines and compressors in hot and humid climates. Even under current climate conditions, this applies to a big part of the world’s entire land mass. eee.Sy stands for “Energy Efficiency Enhance-ment System”. Acting as a filter for the inlet air coming into a turbine plant, eee.Sy simulta-neously filters and cools the air to optimum purity and temperature levels. Viledon® eee.Sy is an entirely unique, patented concept. The advanced eee.Sy technology is available in a single convenient unit, and de-signed for easy and quick integration into any turbine plant, which permits increased output by utilizing the waste heat of your plant.

Hot air is bad for turbine outputOperating turbines and compressors in warm climates presents very real difficulties. Gas tur-bines in particular are known to lose a signifi-cant degree of efficiency in warm climates.

Cool air increases efficiency and reduces costsCooling the air as it enters the plant increases the efficiency and performance of combustion turbines. The result is a more effective and ef-ficient turbine plant, higher reliability, reduced costs, increased profitability and a decreased heat rate (consumption) of the machine.

Viledon® eee.Sy stands for:

By combining state-of-the-art fi ltration technol-ogy with the very latest in cooling solutions, Viledon® eee.Sy offers a totally unique and highly cost-effective concept. The eee.Sy unit cleverly combines air cooling and fi ltration in one system, using a series of three fi lter stages separated by a chilling coil, which is powered by a VAM unit that utilizes the waste heat energy of your plant.

What is VAM?VAM, or “Vapour Absorption Machine”, is an equipment that uses waste heat energy to power the water chilling process itself. This technology has already been widely and very effectively ap-plied in many other cooling applications, but has

not been used as an inlet air cooling solution for turbines and compressors. The idea is to bring the inlet temperature in line with ISO conditions to obtain the most effective output. The waste heat can derive from steam, hot water or even hot ex-haust air that is currently not used and thus wasted.

Advantages of VAMoutstanding air cooling performance �energy savings by use of waste heat �silent, no vibrations �safe technology �low maintenance �easy to install and operate �low energy consumption �system stability �

A completely integrated solutionViledon® eee.Sy uses an engineered air fl ow design featuring a unique water and humidity management system within the fi lter house itself. Adaptive climate control and top-quality fi lters are then used to deliver outstanding effi ciency, optimized plant performance and reduced operating costs.

The Vapour Absorption Machine (VAM) cool-ing technology used by Viledon® eee.Sy offers signifi cant advantages over existing cooling methods. For further details please consult our Viledon® eee.Sy technical guide.

Everything you need, in a single unit

Viledon® eee.Sy provides all the air purifying and cooling functionalities you need, in just one single unit: complete with chilling coil, filter house, mounting frames, filters and more.

A flexible solution for retrofitting and upgrading your plantWhere viable, we create a unit that perfectly integrates with your plant’s existing filter house, incorporating all the benefits of Viledon® eee.Sy’s advanced filtration and cooling technology. Or we design and build a new filter house, specifi-cally matched to the technical requirements of your plant.

Viledon® eee.Sy offers major efficiency gains over existing inlet air-cooling and filtration sys-tems. Increased output, stable performance, lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life will make upgrading your turbine plant with Viledon® eee.Sy a profitable investment.

Tried-and-tested technology – with proven benefits

Viledon® eee.Sy installations have already built an impressive track record of successful project completion. Working with major international clients, we have consistently achieved plant capacity in-creases of between 18 % and 25 %, resulting in a rapid return on investment and quick amortization:

Previous output Current output Percentage with Viledon® eee.Sy output increase

120 K Nm3 / h 130 K Nm3/h 8.33 %

70 K Nm3 / h 75 K Nm3 / h 7.14 %

68 K Nm3 / h 73 K Nm3 / h 7.35 %

Previous capacity Current capacity Percentage with Viledon® eee.Sy capacity increase

27.5 MW 33.5 MW 21.82 %

18.0 MW 22.0 MW 22.22 %

19.0 MW 22.5 MW 18.42 %

19.5 MW 23.0 MW 17.95 %

18.0 MW 22.5 MW 25 %

In successful projects in the fertilizer industry the following factory output increases could be achieved:

Lower maintenance costs, reduced fouling of bladesThe improved filter technology of Viledon® eee.Sy will lead to significantly lower maintenance costs. Fouling of the turbine blades is reduced, prolonging the effective working life of the turbine itself.

Indirect benefitsBecause Viledon® eee.Sy uses waste heat en-ergy to power the chilling coil and cool the inlet air, there is a potentially valuable envi-ronmental message to be communicated too. In addition, installing the unit may also give you the right to claim carbon credits, due to the lower energy levels consumed.

Increased profitabilitySpecifying a new filter house gives your tech-nical team optimum control over key factors such as pressure drop, heat transfer, filtration and moisture removal. This directly increases the performance and profitability of the plant.

More efficient energy generation and increased, stable outputUsing Viledon® eee.Sy as your inlet air-cooling solution means that your plant will need less energy to produce the same level of output. What is more, output levels will remain stable, no matter how the ambient temperature may change. This extra performance can potentially be used to increase plant output or generate additional energy for other applications.
