Abstract
Precompressor and pre-booster water spray injection apparatus and methods are described. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of nozzles are configured so that water injected into the gas flow to the high pressure compressor provides substantially uniform radial and circumferential temperature reductions at the outlet of the high pressure compressor.
