Abstract:
An exhaust section for a gas turbine power plant including: an exhaust duct in fluid communication with exhaust gas from a gas turbine engine, wherein the exhaust gas flows through the exhaust duct along a flow direction; a catalyst supporting platform spanning a flow passage in the exhaust duct such that the exhaust gas passes through the platform, wherein the platform includes apertures having catalyst coated surfaces and the catalyst supporting platform has a front face which is no perpendicular to the flow direction.
Abstract:
The present application provides a method of evaluating media effectiveness in a gas turbine engine. The method may include the steps of receiving a baseline media effectiveness rating, receiving a media replacement cost, receiving a number of operating parameters from a number of sensors, based at least in part on the operating parameters and the baseline media effectiveness rating, determining a media effectiveness model, based at least in part of the media effectiveness model, determining a loss in evaporative benefit cost over time, determining a time t when the loss in evaporative benefit cost exceeds the media replacement cost, and scheduling media replacement at time t.
Abstract:
A method for decomposing nitrogen oxide includes: contacting a gas stream comprising nitrogen oxide with a device, the device comprising: a first electrode, an opposite second electrode, an electrolyte between the first and the second electrodes, and a power supply; and applying in a pulse mode an electrical current from the power supply to the first and the second electrodes to decompose nitrogen oxide. An associated apparatus is also described.
Abstract:
The present application provides an inlet air system for cooling an inlet air flow to a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The inlet air system may include a wetted media pad and a drift eliminator positioned downstream of the wetted media pad with an air gap therebetween. The drift eliminator may include a fibrous media pad.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An acoustic treatment assembly (50) for a turbine system includes a region of the turbine system having a flow path configured to allow a fluid flow therethrough. Also included is at least one sound attenuation structure (52) disposed in the flow path. The sound attenuation structure includes a substantially rigid frame (54) and a flexible membrane (56) retained by the frame.
Abstract:
Synthetic media pads configured to be arranged in a stack of an evaporative cooler for a gas turbine, wherein the synthetic media pads include high density synthetic media pads and low density synthetic media pads. The sides of the pads may have surface patterns, such as grooves and ridges, to provide support for the pads.
Abstract:
