A fuel conditioning system includes a heater for selectively adjusting an operating temperature of the fuel and a controller communicatively coupled to the heater. The controller configured to determine a dew point temperature of the fuel and maintain the operating temperature of the fuel at least at the determined dew point temperature of the fuel.

Gas turbine engines and methods of controlling formation of condensates

Method and system for transitioning from a first liquid fuel supplied to a combustor of a gas turbine system to a second liquid fuel supplied to the combustor utilizing a fuel pump configured to supply both fuels from the fuel pump during the transition without shutting down the gas turbine system. Through utilizing a fuel pump and adjusting the operation of the fuel pump during the transition, the additional costs, size, and operational complexity associated with multiple liquid fuel trains to facilitate operation of the gas turbine system with multiple liquid fuels may be avoided. The utilization of multiple liquid fuels during operation of a gas turbine system increase the operational flexibility of the gas turbine system by enabling the utilization of varied liquid fuel sources and/or local liquid fuel sources during a steady-state operation, yet utilizing standardized fuel sources for startup or shutdown procedures.

System and method for operating a combustor with multiple liquid fuels

A system includes a gas turbine engine, including a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. The system includes an intercooler configured to receive a discharge air from the compressor and to cool the discharge air. The system includes a first conduit to divert a portion of the cooled discharge air from the intercooler or a location downstream of the intercooler to a bearing located within the turbine to pressurize the bearing to block leakage of fluid from the bearing.

System and method for use of intercooler cooled fluid as bearing pressurization fluid source

A system includes an air cooling system having a heat exchanger, a fan, and a mount. The heat exchanger includes an inlet, an outlet, and a heat exchange conduit between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet is configured to couple to a bleed system of a gas turbine system to extract a bleed flow. The heat exchanger is configured to cool the bleed flow along the heat exchange conduit in a surrounding air to produce a cooled bleed flow. The outlet is configured to couple to a fuel purge system of the gas turbine system to supply the cooled bleed flow as a fuel purge flow. The fan is configured to force an airflow from the surrounding air through the heat exchanger. The mount is configured to mount the air cooling system outside of an enclosure surrounding the gas turbine system.
