Abstract :The published schemes of the Humid Air Turbine (HAT) contain usually the after cooler of the compressed air. The after cooler elongates the chain of processes and therefore introduces additional exergy losses. Calculations have been performed in order to prove that the after cooler in the proposed installations does not increase the efficiency of HAT. This paper was presented at the ECOS'01 Conference in Turkey July 4-6, 2001 and revised
