SPRINT® Description
SPRINT® stands for SPRay INTercooling
• The SPRINT® system increases power output by injecting water
into the compressor
– Allows engine to run at higher firing temperature—more power
– Increases overall mass flow—more power
Operation
• Injection of water into the HPC or LPC compressor
• Water spray system operation at base load only
• Does not affect requirements for reliability
• Operation at ambient conditions above 2°C

Benefits of SPRINT® technology
Increased revenue and flexibility
• Increases power output based on inlet temperature
• Requires demineralized water flow of up to 22gpm,
maximum, (water purity specifications are the same
NOX abatement systems)
as for
• Atomizing air for spray taken from HPC eighth-stage bleed
