Abstract:
An improved gas turbine engine is adapted to include an inlet flow control arrangement disposed in an inlet passage at least between a filter member and a row of Variable Inlet Guide Vanes (VIGV), and adjacent the filter member, to enable pressure loss in the inlet passage and supply reduced amount of inlet air to a compressor to enable the reduction of power output of the gas turbine engine at a low load condition.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement is provided at the interface between a combustor and a turbine of a gas turbine. The turbine includes guiding vanes at its inlet. The guiding vanes are each mounted within the turbine at their outer diameter by means of rear outer diameter vane hook and are each at their inner diameter in sealing engagement by means of a front inner diameter vane tooth with a honeycomb seal arranged at the corresponding inner diameter part of the outlet of said combustor. The rear outer diameter vane hook allows a relative movement of the guiding vane in form of a rotation around the rear outer diameter vane hook. The sealing adapts the front inner diameter vane tooth and the corresponding honeycomb seal in their configuration to the rotating relative movement of the guiding vane, such that the compression of said honeycomb seal through transients of the gas turbine is reduced.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a turbo-machine comprising a stator and a rotor arranged rotatable inside the stator as well as at least one electric heating device which is arranged on the surface of at least part of the stator for active clearance control. Besides the turbo-machine, a method for operating the active clearance control comprising electric heating devices is disclosed.
