F02C 6/08
US Classification:
060782000, 060785000
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine system. The system includes a compressor with a first compressor stage and a second compressor stage, a turbine with a first turbine stage and a second turbine stage, a first flow path connecting the first compressor stage and the first turbine stage, a second flow path connecting the second compressor stage and the second turbine stage, a crossover flow path connecting the first flow path and the second flow path, and an ejector positioned about the crossover flow path and the first flow path. The ejector may be a variable motive nozzle ejector.

Cooling Circuit For Enhancing Turbine Performance

View page
US Patent:
20090074589, Mar 19, 2009
Filed:
Sep 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/856945
Inventors:
Biao Fang - Clifton Park NY, US
Christopher Edward Wolfe - Niskayuna NY, US
Omprakash Samudrala - Niskayuna NY, US
Matthew Scott Kight - Greenville SC, US
Jeffrey John Butkiewicz - Greenville SC, US
Tara McGovern - Simpsonville SC, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/08
US Classification:
416 97 R
Abstract:
In a gas turbine having a compressor discharge casing, a cooling circuit diverts compressor discharge air toward a high pressure packing (HPP) circuit. The cooling circuit includes an inlet pipe that receives compressor discharge air. One or several cooled cooling air pipes are in fluid communication with the inlet pipe via a pipe manifold, which distributes the discharge air across the cooled cooling air pipes. A seal is disposed upstream of an entrance to the HPP circuit to limit flow into the HPP circuit, and a second seal is disposed downstream of the HPP circuit at turbine wheelspace to limit ingestion and thus the purge flow air required. The circuit serves to reduce required purge flow in the HPP circuit so that an amount of compressor discharge air can be put back to the main flow path, thereby improving turbine performance.
