The use of non-flammable liquid injection inhibits the formation of pollutants, increases the efficiency and available horsepower from the system, and reduces specific fuel consumption. Control systems allow the independent control of the quantity, temperature and pressure of the air, fuel and non-flammable liquid introduced in the combustion chamber allowing control of the maximum temperature and average temperature within the combustion temperature as well as the temperature of the exhaust from the combustion chamber.

[ What is claimed is:] [29.]29. A method of operating a power generating system comprising the steps of:compressing ambient air into compressed air having a pressure of at least about four atmospheres, and having an elevated temperature;delivering the compressed air into a combustion chamber;injecting controlled amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber;injecting controlled amounts of a non-flammable liquid into the combustion chamber;independently controlling the amount of compressed air, the amount of fuel injected, and the amount of liquid injected so as to combust the injected fuel at least a portion of the compressed air and to transform the injected liquid into a vapor;wherein a working fluid consisting of a mixture of a non-flammable components of the compressed air, fuel combustion products and vapor is generated in the combustion chamber during combustion at a predetermined combustion temperature.
