Abstract:
The present application provides a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine may include a compressor air extraction system with a number of valves, an exhaust frame cooling system with an exhaust frame blower, and a turbine valve cooling system with one or more valve protection boxes surrounding one or more of the valves. The valve protection boxes may be in communication with a flow of air from the exhaust frame blower.
Abstract:
A drain system for a combustor of a gas turbine includes a plurality of drain tubes, a vertical header connected to an end of each drain tube to receive a fluid flow therefrom, and a horizontal header downstream of the vertical header and in fluid communication therewith. Each drain tube has another end adapted to be connected to a respective combustor can of the gas turbine to drain liquid therefrom. The vertical header is disposed at an angle between 30° and 90° with a horizontal plane.
Abstract:
A system includes a gas turbine engine that includes a turbine section having one or more turbine stages between an upstream end and a downstream end, an exhaust section disposed downstream from the downstream end of the turbine section, and a fluid supply system coupled to the exhaust section. The fluid supply system is configured to route an inert gas to the exhaust section.

Abstract:
A three-way valve for a liquid fuel supply system includes a housing defining a liquid fuel inlet, a purge gas inlet, and at least one drain port. The liquid fuel inlet is sized to receive liquid fuel therethrough for selectively channeling the liquid fuel to a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The purge gas inlet is sized to receive purge gas therethrough for selectively purging liquid fuel from said three-way valve. The at least one drain port is oriented to selectively channel liquid fuel from said three-way valve when purge gas is purging liquid fuel from said three-way valve.
