Latest Patents
One of Statler's latest patents is titled "Water injection into a gas turbine using purge air." This invention provides an apparatus and method for reducing NOX emissions while augmenting output from dual-fueled turbines, such as those used for electrical power generation. The innovation utilizes existing pathways in the turbine to inject air into the combustion chamber, allowing for the transport of water, especially when oil is used as fuel. This design minimizes the modifications needed for existing turbines, thereby reducing the time and expense associated with upgrading their capabilities.
Another significant patent is the "High turndown mass flow control system for regulating gas flow to a variable pressure system." This system regulates gas flow to a gas turbine engine, ensuring that the gas delivery pressure at the load varies directly with the mass flow. The invention employs flow control and mass flow measurement subsystems to maintain a mass reference value dictated by an external master control. The unique placement of the gas restriction element allows for accurate readings of pressure parameters using conventional instrumentation.
