20090142194 | METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR MEASURING BLADE DEFORMATION IN TURBINES - A tip shrouded turbine blade that may include a target pad disposed on an outer radial surface of the tip shroud, the target pad including a raised surface that protrudes radially outward from the outer face of the tip shroud. The target pad may be substantially cylindrical in shape such that an outer radial face of the target pad is substantially circular in shape. The size of the surface area of the outer radial face of the target pad may be configured to be substantially the same size as an area of measurement for a conventional proximity sensor. | 06-04-2009 |
20090150056 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A FLOWRATE OF A RECIRCULATED EXHAUST GAS - A method and system for controlling an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is provided. The EGR system recirculates a portion of an exhaust through an inlet portion of the turbomachine. The EGR system reduces the level of harmful constituents within the exhaust before the recirculation occurs. | 06-11-2009 |
20090158734 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE OPERATION OF A TURBOMACHINE RECEIVING A RECIRCULATED EXHAUST GAS - A method for adjusting the operation of a turbomachine integrated with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is provided. The method may utilize the composition of an inlet fluid entering the turbomachine. The method may also utilize a variety of turbomachine operating data. | 06-25-2009 |
20100101545 | INLET SYSTEM FOR AN EGR SYSTEM - An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may recirculate a portion of the exhaust of at least one turbomachine where it may be mixed with the inlet air and re-enter the turbomachine without affecting reliability and availability of the unit. | 04-29-2010 |
20100287943 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INDUCING COMBUSTION DYNAMICS - Methods and systems are provided for inducing combustion dynamics within turbine engines to remove combustion deposits within the turbine engine during operation of the turbine engine. | 11-18-2010 |
20110131981 | INLET SYSTEM FOR AN EGR SYSTEM - An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may recirculate a portion of the exhaust of at least one turbomachine where it may be mixed with the inlet air and re-enter the turbomachine without affecting reliability and availability of the unit. | 06-09-2011 |
20110131982 | INLET SYSTEM FOR AN EGR SYSTEM - An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may recirculate a portion of the exhaust of at least one turbomachine where it may be mixed with the inlet air and re-enter the turbomachine without affecting reliability and availability of the unit. | 06-09-2011 |
20110138767 | INLET SYSTEM FOR AN EGR SYSTEM - An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may recirculate a portion of the exhaust of at least one turbomachine where it may be mixed with the inlet air and re-enter the turbomachine without affecting reliability and availability of the unit. | 06-16-2011 |
20110138768 | INLET SYSTEM FOR AN EGR SYSTEM - An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of a system that may recirculate a portion of the exhaust of at least one turbomachine where it may be mixed with the inlet air and re-enter the turbomachine without affecting reliability and availability of the unit. | 06-16-2011 |
