System For Delivering Air From A Multi-Stage Compressor To A Turbine Portion Of A Gas Turbine Engine

US Patent:
8057157, Nov 15, 2011
Filed:
Oct 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/876277
Inventors:
Eric David Roush - Simpsonville SC, US
William Andrew Parker - Simpsonville SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01D 19/00, F01D 25/12, F01D 9/06, F01D 5/18
US Classification:
415 1, 415115, 415116, 415117, 415145, 416 96 R, 60782, 60785, 60806
Abstract:
A system for providing air from a multi-stage to a turbine includes a turbine having a high pressure input port and a low pressure input port. The system also includes a compressor having at least one high pressure extraction air output and at least one low pressure extraction air output. A valve is fluidly connected to the at least one high pressure extraction air output, at least one low pressure extraction air output and low pressure input port of the turbine. The valve is selectively operated to fluidly connect the at least one low pressure extraction air output with the low pressure input port during normal operating conditions and fluidly connect the at least one high pressure extraction air output and the low pressure input port during a turn down condition or below design temperature operation to enhance turbine engine performance.

System For Regulating A Cooling Fluid Within A Turbomachine

US Patent:
7914253, Mar 29, 2011
Filed:
May 1, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/799162
Inventors:
Sivaraman Vedhagiri - Greer SC, US
Ravi Meenaksh - Greenville SC, US
Jesse Trout - Simpsonville SC, US
William Parker - Simpsonville SC, US
Eric Scicchitano - Montreal, CA
Joseph Moroso - Greenville SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01D 25/12, F01D 11/02
US Classification:
415115, 415230
Abstract:
A system for regulating a cooling fluid within a turbomachine. The system may include a plurality of bypass chambers, wherein each of the plurality of bypass chambers allows for the cooling fluid to pass from the compressor section to the at least one wheelspace area. The system may also include a plurality of bypass plugs, wherein each of the plurality of bypass plugs is insertable into a bypass chamber opening on each of the plurality of bypass chambers.

Gas Turbine Engine With Insulated Cooling Circuit

US Patent:
8182205, May 22, 2012
Filed:
Feb 6, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/671933
Inventors:
Philip Caruso - Simpsonville SC, US
Dwight Davidson - Greer SC, US
Yang Liu - Simpsonville SC, US
William Parker - Simpsonville SC, US
Roger Walker - Piedmont SC, US
Sivaraman Vedhagiri - Greer SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F04D 31/00
US Classification:
415116, 415176, 416 95
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine is provided comprising a compressor with an insulated cooling circuit. The compressor comprises a compressor casing having a compression chamber and at least one stator and at least one rotor disposed in the compression chamber, the at least one stator comprising a stator body having a plurality of tubes for transporting cooling air through passages in the stator body into the compression chamber. The plurality of tubes are surrounded by an air gap for insulating the tubes from the stator body.
