Abstract:
The present application provides an inlet heat exchanger for cooling an inlet air flow in a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The inlet air exchanger may include a media pad with a number of media sheets having a substantially three-dimensional contoured shape made from non-woven synthetic fibers and a heat exchange medium flowing from a top to a bottom of the media pad to exchange heat with the inlet air flow.
Abstract:
The present application provides an inlet bleed heat system for supplying a flow of bleed air to a flow of incoming air into a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The inlet bleed heat system may include an air knife and a silencer panel. The air knife may include a compressor bleed air port in communication with the flow of bleed air and a discharge gap to discharge the flow of bleed air into the flow of incoming air. The air knife may and the silencer panel may form an integrated air knife/silencer panel.
Abstract:
Use of a bubble-generating mechanism in a production environment is described, The bubble generating mechanism may be used to facilitate the separation of a target fluid from a non-target fluid in the production environment, such as by creating a gradient of the fluids or creating separate and distinct zones of the fluids to be separated. The target fluid can then be preferentially recovered from the production environment based on the gradient or distinct zones.
Abstract:
A system includes a gas turbine system, including an air intake system that includes a housing, a first plurality of air conditioning coils, a second plurality of air conditioning coils that is downstream relative to the first plurality, and a baffle extending between each of the first and second pluralities of air conditioning coils, wherein the baffle is configured to direct an air flow through the first or second pluralities of air conditioning coils in a closed position, and the baffle is configured to enable air flow to bypass the first and second pluralities of coils in an opened position.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an assembly including a fibrous medium having a plurality of substantially corrugated channels therein, the plurality of substantially corrugated channels being permeable to a flow of fluid therethrough; a distributor in contact with the fibrous medium, and including an aperture therein for transmitting a liquid coolant through the distributor; and at least two acoustic shields coupled to the fibrous medium and proximal to opposing sides of the distributor.
Abstract:
The present application provides a power augmentation system for use with a gas turbine engine. The power augmentation system may include a compressor discharge manifold, an inlet bleed heat system in communication with the compressor discharge manifold via an inlet bleed heat line, and an auxiliary compressor in communication with the compressor discharge manifold via the inlet bleed heat line.
