Title: Noboru Yanai and His Gas Turbine Plant Patent.

Introduction

Noboru Yanai is an inventor associated with Hyogo, Japan, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited. His patent work includes a gas turbine plant designed for use with a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.

Latest Patents

Yanai is credited with 1 patent, titled “Gas Turbine Plant.” The invention describes a system in which coolant heated by energy from coated particle fuel drives multiple gas turbines. Some turbines are positioned coaxially with compressors, while another is positioned coaxially with a generator. During startup, bypass valves regulate coolant flow around selected turbines, helping bring the turbine shafts up to rated speed in sequence from the reactor’s upstream side toward its lower stages.

Career Highlights

Yanai’s patent reflects work on coordinating turbine startup and coolant flow in a reactor-based power plant. The design focuses on controlling the rotational speeds of multiple turbine shafts during startup.

Collaborations

Yanai’s listed coworkers include Yoshiaki Tsukuda and Satoru Kamohara. His patent is associated with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited.

Conclusion

Noboru Yanai’s gas turbine plant patent addresses staged turbine startup and flow control in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor system.
