Title: Srikrishnan Ramchandran and Heat Integration for Gas Capture

Introduction

Srikrishnan Ramchandran is an inventor associated with Karnataka, India, and GE Vernova Infrastructure Technology LLC. His patent work addresses heat integration in gas capture systems, connecting thermal management with carbon capture and gas turbine operations.

Latest Patents

Ramchandran is associated with 1 patent: “System and Method of Heat Integration for a Gas Capture System.” The invention describes an intake heating system with one or more heat exchangers fluidly coupled to a steam turbine system, a gas turbine system, a carbon capture system, and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG).

The heat exchangers receive steam from the HRSG, the steam turbine system, or both, along with air. They transfer heat from the steam to the air, producing heated air and cooled steam. The cooled steam is sent to the carbon capture system, while the heated air is directed to one or more injection locations in the gas turbine system.

Career Highlights

Ramchandran’s listed patent reflects work on integrating heat flows among power-generation and carbon-capture equipment. The system’s described arrangement uses available steam to heat air for gas turbine injection while directing cooled steam to carbon capture.

Collaborations

His listed coworkers include Raman Venkata Satya Lova Nagumantri and Peter John Murphy. Their names appear alongside Ramchandran’s work on the heat-integration patent.

Conclusion

Srikrishnan Ramchandran’s patent describes a heat-exchange approach that links gas turbine operation, steam systems, and carbon capture, highlighting his contribution to integrated energy-system technology.
