Title: Innovations of Carlos Soto-Gonzalez in Gas Turbine Engine Technology
Introduction
Carlos Soto-Gonzalez is an accomplished inventor based in Indianapolis, IN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of gas turbine engine technology. His innovative work has led to the development of a unique heat exchanger that enhances the efficiency of gas turbine engines.
Latest Patents
Carlos holds a patent for a gas turbine engine heat exchanger. This invention involves a gas turbine engine that includes a particle separator designed to separate particles or foreign objects, creating both a dirty flow and a clean flow. A blower is utilized to discharge these particles or foreign objects from the separator. The heat exchanger features a relatively warm flow path from a downstream region of a compressor and a relatively cool flow path from an upstream region of the compressor. The relatively cool flow path merges with the dirty flow, optimizing the engine's performance. In another embodiment, the gas turbine engine is a turbofan, where the relatively cool flow path merges with a bypass flow. Notably, the relatively warm flow path, after exchanging heat with the relatively cool flow path, is delivered to a working component without passing through a turbomachinery component. Carlos has been granted 1 patent for this innovative design.
