Abstract: A turbine engine is provided that includes a turbine engine core, a water separate and a core flowpath. The turbine engine core includes a core compressor section, a core combustor section and a core turbine section. The water separator includes a flowpath duct and a collector duct. The flowpath duct extends axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The collector duct extends axially along and circumferentially about the flowpath duct. The collector duct is fluidly coupled with the flowpath duct through a water permeable region in an outer wall of the flowpath duct. The core flowpath extends through the core compressor section, the core combustor section, the core turbine section and the flowpath duct from an inlet into the core flowpath to an exhaust from the core flowpath. The core flowpath extends axially along the water permeable region within the flowpath duct.

Abstract: A thermal storage subsystem may include at least a first storage reservoir configured to contain a thermal storage liquid at a storage pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. A liquid passage may have an inlet connectable to a thermal storage liquid source and configured to convey the thermal storage liquid to the liquid reservoir. A first heat exchanger may be provided in the liquid inlet passage and may be in fluid communication between the first compression stage and the accumulator, whereby thermal energy can be transferred from a compressed gas stream exiting a gas compressor/expander subsystem to the thermal storage liquid.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method and apparatus to lower the temperature and heat content of the ambient air at the inlet to a gas combustion turbine to enhance power generation. Embodiments can use multiple, staged direct contact air chillers, variable flow secondary water chilling systems, constant flow primary water chilling systems with water chilling units arranged for parallel chilled water flow, and a coolant water circulation system used for heat rejection with open cooling towers. Alternatives can use a chilled water thermal storage system, and/or waste heat to drive at least part of the water chilling process. With the included apparatus a method to allow adiabatic air chilling is available for operation during periods of lower ambient air conditions when needs for power augmentation may not be as great.

Abstract: Cooling systems for high pressure compressor systems are provided. The cooling systems may comprise tangential on board injectors (“TOBIs”). The TOBIs may comprise one or more fluid channels configured to conduct cooling fluid flow to components of the compressor, including, for example, disk-hub portions of the compressor. In this regard, the TOBI may be configured to exhaust cooling air in a manner such that the exhausted air has a similar linear velocity of the disk-hub portion. The cooling air may also be exhausted in a manner that is substantially parallel to the disk-hub portion.
