Welcome
The Turbine Inlet Cooling Association (TICA) promotes the development and exchange of knowledge related to gas turbine inlet cooling (TIC) for enhancing power generation worldwide. TICA is a non-profit organization.
TIC provides a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally beneficial means to enhance power generation capacity and efficiency of combustion/gas turbines during hot weather. If you are looking to increase your knowledge about TIC, you don’t have to look any further. TICA is your one-stop source for access to valuable information and tools for TIC.
TICA regularly updates its online databases of TIC bibliography and installations. We also offer an online calculator for you to estimate the performance of various TIC technologies for the weather data relevant to your plant location. Some of the key TIC articles published by the 2010 Gas Turbine World Handbook and the Combined Cycle Journal are also available at this website.
TICA has developed an online forum only for TICA members who are combustion/gas turbine (CT/GT) users, owners and operators to facilitate discussion among the users about TIC. Become a TICA member here.
TICA has been invited by the Electric Committee of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) in 2006 and 2008 to present information on why TIC is beneficial for the power producers, the rate payers and the environment. We invite you to review our White Paper available in various levels of detail: brief one-page summary, detailed text and presentation version.
TICA presents information on all TIC technologies. Learn for yourself which technology might be best for your application, need and market.
There are numerous benefits of joining TICA for the gas turbine systems users and vendors. We suggest you consider joining TICA. For a limited time until March 31, 2012, TICA membership is complimentary for all GT/CT users, owners and operators. The membership form is available online. The list of TICA members and their profiles are available.
If you have any questions about TICA or our website, please contact our Executive Director by e-mail or telephone (630-357-3960).
