Abstract
An improved combustion-turbine cycle system and process which employs a multi-stage, counter-current flow humidifier to produce moist air for use as combustion air and thermal diluent in a combuster in which the improvement includes utilizing excess fluid produced in the humidifier as a working fluid in a separate, parallel excess fluid turbine and/or as combustion air and thermal diluent for an additional, separate combuster having its own turbine and operating in parallel with the primary combustion turbine machine.
