    摘要: A method for monitoring and controlling a hybrid gas turbine system is disclosed, which is performed by a control logic unit. The method is implemented by executing an optimization among operating variables, so as to obtain control signals to control the operation of the hybrid gas turbine system. The hybrid gas turbine system is also disclosed, which includes at least one gas turbine, to be operated by fuel, and at least one electric motor/generator, capable of operating as a generator or as a motor. The hybrid gas turbine system comprises the control logic unit operatively connected to the fuel controller module and to the electric motor/generator controller.

    摘要: A double suction impeller is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the impeller is configured for centrifugal pumps and hydraulic power recovery turbines. The impeller's flow-path arrangement comprises inter-blade channels, intersecting each other at the impeller's outer diameter and defining a variable cross section shape, so that the equivalent number of blades is at least doubled with respect to a conventional configuration obtained by the coupling of two single suction impellers and an improved control over the velocity of the flow within the inter-blade channels is achieved.

    摘要: A compression system comprises a compressor, an inlet duct, a throttling valve installed in the inlet duct, an outlet duct, an anti-surge valve fluidly coupling the outlet duct with a portion of the inlet duct downstream of the throttling valve and a recycle valve fluidly coupling the outlet duct with a portion of the inlet duct upstream of the throttling valve. Keeping the recycle valve open, the anti-surge valve closed and the throttling valve partially closed allows lowering the pressure of the flow entering the compressor during its start-up.

    摘要: The pump comprises a casing; a statoric part stationarily housed in the casing; at least one impeller arranged for rotation in the casing. A process fluid path extends though the statoric part and the impeller-M. A bearing rotatingly supports the impeller in the casing and a bearing lubrication path is provided, to circulate a fluid flow through the bearing. A rotary screw integral with the impeller and rotating therewith when the pump is operating provides a pumping action on process fluid such that rotation of the impeller promotes process fluid circulation by means of said rotary screw through the bearing lubrication path.

    摘要: A device configured to seal a circumferential gap between a first turbomachine component and a second turbomachine component mutually rotatable about a longitudinal axis. The device is provided with a first sealing element connected to the first turbomachine component and with a second scaling element having an inner part provided with a plurality of projections extending towards the second machine component to define the teeth of a labyrinth seal between the high pressure region and the low pressure region of the turbo machine. The outer part of the second sealing element is connected to the first sealing element through an clastic element. One or more pressure chambers located between the first sealing element and the second sealing element are in fluid communication with the processing fluid of the turbomachine to derive a force acting on the outer part of the second scaling element in the direction of gap closure.
