Abstract:
A heat pipe has a first portion positioned within an exhaust path of a gas turbine exhaust processing system and a second portion positioned in a heat exchange relationship with a flow path of a heat exchange fluid. The flow path of the heat exchange fluid includes an ammonia evaporator configured to evaporate ammonia received from an ammonia source. The heat pipe is configured to transfer thermal energy from exhaust gas in the exhaust path to the heat exchange fluid to enable the heat exchange fluid to vaporize the ammonia while cooling the exhaust gas to enable the gas turbine exhaust processing system to more effectively process the exhaust gas.
Abstract:
A gas turbine system includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust a fuel and produce an exhaust gas. An exhaust duct assembly is coupled to the gas turbine engine and is configured to receive the exhaust gas. An absorption chiller is fluidly coupled to the exhaust duct assembly and is configured to receive a take-off stream of the exhaust gas. The absorption chiller is configured to use the take-off stream to drive at least a portion of an absorption cooling process to generate a cooled take-off stream of exhaust gas. The exhaust duct assembly is configured to receive the cooled take-off stream of exhaust gas from the absorption chiller and to mix the cooled take-off stream with exhaust gas present within the exhaust duct assembly to cool the exhaust gas.
Abstract:
A heat controlling apparatus for a detector of a CT machine and a detector. The heat controlling apparatus comprises: a heat conducting frame, which is disposed at a side where a chip on a circuit board in the detector is located; a heater, which thermally contacts with the heat conducting frame and is used for heating the heat conducting frame; a heat dissipating member, which is connected with the heat conducting frame and used for dissipating heat produced by the detector; and a heat isolating member, which is wrapped at a periphery of a collimator of the detector, the heat conducting frame and the heater.
Abstract:
A baffle for an air intake section of a rotary machine includes a pair of oppositely disposed perforated walls that at least partially define an exterior of the baffle and an interior cavity of the baffle. The baffle also includes a pair of panels disposed within the interior cavity. Each of the panels is coupled proximate a respective one of the perforated walls, such that a chamber is defined between the panels. Each of the panels includes a first sound absorbing material that is substantially completely vaporizable at an operating temperature of the rotary machine.

Abstract:
An exhaust processing system for treating an exhaust gas stream that includes an exhaust duct for directing the exhaust gas stream; a first catalyst positioned within the exhaust duct for receiving the exhaust gas stream flowing therethrough; and an injection system for injecting cooling air and reductant in the exhaust gas stream. The injection system may include: a reductant supply feed for supplying the reductant; a cooling air supply feed for supplying the cooling air; a junction configured at which the reductant supply feed and the cooling air supply feed combine to form a combined supply feed thereafter; and an injector disposed within the exhaust duct to which the combined supply feed connects.
Abstract:
A power system is provided. The power system includes a gas turbine assembly having a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine coupled in serial flow arrangement. The compressor has a compressor inlet. The power system also includes an electrostatic precipitation system coupled to the gas turbine assembly upstream from the compressor inlet. The compressor is oriented to receive working gases discharged from the electrostatic precipitation system to facilitate removing entrained matter from the working gases flowing into the compressor inlet.
Abstract:
A method of supplying liquid fuel in a gas turbine engine is provided and includes sealing a fuel manifold with a fluid in the fuel manifold. The method also includes initiating routing of a liquid fuel from a liquid fuel supply structure to the fuel manifold. The method further includes displacing the fluid disposed in the fuel manifold with the liquid fuel. The method yet further includes routing the liquid fuel and the fluid into a combustor.
Abstract:
A fuel supply system includes a first fuel gas compressor coupled to a fuel gas compressor shaft and configured to pressurize a fuel for a gas turbine system. A clutch is coupled to the fuel gas compressor shaft and is configured to selectively engage the fuel gas compressor shaft with a turbine shaft of the gas turbine system. An electromechanical machine is configured to operator as a motor to drive the fuel gas compressor shaft or to operate as a generator driven by the turbine shaft to generator power, based on an operating condition of the gas turbine system.
Abstract:
A pressure sensor system for a compressor including an inlet bellmouth is disclosed. The system includes a first static pressure sensor positioned within a plane of a plenum that is upstream of the inlet bellmouth; and a second static pressure sensor positioned at an entrance plane of the compressor. A mass flow rate calculator may calculate a mass flow rate based on a pressure differential between the plane of the plenum and the entrance plane of the compressor.
