Patent
Cooling of turbine components using combustor shell air
TL;DR: A turbine engine assembly for a generator including a turbine engine having a compressor section (12), a combustor section (30), and a turbine section (14) is described in this article.
Patent
Gas turbine starting process
TL;DR: In this paper, a starting process for a gas turbine that holds the turbine speed of rotation at an ignition speed setting during an ignition window was described, with the speed setting being based on ambient air conditions to achieve a specified combustor air mass flow rate.
Patent
Tip clearance control
Gerard McQuiggan,Adam M. Foust +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for actively managing blade tip clearances in a turbine engine, particularly under start up and steady state operating conditions, is described, where the rotor can be cooled while the blade ring can be heated.
Patent
Multi-electrode igniter for a gas turbine engine
TL;DR: In this paper, an ignition system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is described, in which a first igniter is formed from an outer electrode containing at least one central electrode at a distal end of the outer electrode and may include a second igniter.
Patent
Interface between a combustor basket and a transition of a gas turbine engine
Adam M. Foust,David J. Gloekler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interface between a combustor basket and a transition of a gas turbine engine is defined, and a sealing arrangement is also provided and includes an annular combustion outlet (12′) and an anular transition inlet (14′) with a labyrinth seal (72′) positioned between an end (68′) of the combustion outlet to form a labyrinth path (34′) there between.
