Abstract
The invention pertains to fluegas recirculation in gas turbines, and specifically to an intake section upstream of the inlet of a compressor of a gas turbine unit with fluegas recirculation. The intake section includes at least one section with a flow path defined by sidewalls in which the fresh airflow of the intake air is flowing along a principal airflow direction, including at least one mixing duct extending into the flow path from at least one sidewall. The mixing duct includes an intake at the at least one sidewall for receiving recirculated fluegas, as well as including at least one outlet opening distanced from said sidewall for blowing recirculated fluegas out of the mixing duct into the airflow.
