Title: Innovations and Contributions of Jean-Hervé Le Gal
Introduction
Jean-Hervé Le Gal is a notable inventor based in Paris, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering, particularly in the development of combustion technologies and separation processes in the petrochemical industry. With a total of four patents to his name, his work reflects a commitment to innovation and efficiency.
Latest Patents
One of Jean-Hervé Le Gal's latest patents is for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine working on liquid fuel. This invention features a tubular enclosure with at least one pressurized air inlet and a liquid fuel injection system positioned along the longitudinal axis of the enclosure. The design includes a series of orifices that create separate fuel jets, arranged in a conical formation to enhance mixing with air. The chamber operates at pressures between 2 and 30 bars and maintains a fuel/air ratio of 0.4 to 0.8.
Another significant patent involves a process for separating ethane and ethylene by solvent absorption and hydrogenation of the solvent phase. This process utilizes an absorption column where hydrocarbon steam-cracking effluent is absorbed by a cooled solvent. The liquid phase containing the solvent and hydrocarbons is then hydrogenated, and the solvent is regenerated through distillation, allowing for the efficient recovery of ethane and ethylene.
