Liquid Fuel Recirculation System And Method

View page
US Patent:
6729135, May 4, 2004
Filed:
Dec 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/317177
Inventors:
Eric Steven Norris - Simpsonville SC
Steven William Backman - Greenville SC
Robert Joseph Iasillo - Glenville NY
Kevin Jon ODell - Rensselaer NY
David J. Van Buren - Mechanicville NY
Michael J. Alexander - Saratoga Springs NY
Mark Andrew Cournoyer - Charlton NY
Mark Andrew Johnson - Simpsonville SC
Colin Wilkes - Delanson NY
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F01K 1302
US Classification:
60646, 60657
Abstract:
A recirculation system for circulating distillate during gas fuel operation so as to reduce or eliminate distillate carbon formation. The recirculation system keeps the distillates temperature below the carbon formation limit by circulating the distillate back to a heat sink and/or heat exchanger. The recirculating flow also exercises the flow dividers gears without having to perform fuel transfers. Further, the system evacuates air from the liquid fuel lines to further decrease the likelihood of carbonaceous residue forming on any interior surfaces that are actually exposed to distillate.

Method And System For Modulating The Modified Wobbe Index Of A Fuel

US Patent:
8042340, Oct 25, 2011
Filed:
Sep 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/857746
Inventors:
Jun F. Ma - Greenville SC, US
Colin Wilkes - Anderson SC, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 3/30
F02C 9/40
US Classification:
60775, 60 3926, 60 3955
Abstract:
A method and system for modulating the Modified Wobbe Index (MWI) of a fuel is provided. A variety of industrial components, which may require a gas fuel, such as but not limiting of, a heavy-duty gas turbine; an aero-derivative gas turbine; or a boiler may utilize the method and system. The method and system may provide an industrial component comprising at least one steam injection system, wherein the at least one steam injection system injects steam into at least one fuel supply line upstream of a combustion system to modulate the MWI of at least one fuel. The method and system may also determine whether the MWI of the at least one fuel is outside of a predetermined range; and utilize the at least one steam injection system to automatically inject the steam at a flowrate for adjusting the MWI of the at least one fuel.

System And Method For Supplying Fuel To A Gas Turbine

US Patent:
20110023491, Feb 3, 2011
Filed:
Jul 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/512527
Inventors:
KOREY FREDERIC RENDO - GREER SC, US
COLIN WILKES - ANDERSON SC, US
DANIEL MARTIN MOSS - SIMPSONVILLE SC, US
TIMOTHY RUSSELL BILTON - SIMPSONVILLE SC, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - SCHENECTADY NY
International Classification:
F02C 7/22
G05D 11/00
US Classification:
60734, 13711513
Abstract:
A system for supplying fuel to a gas turbine includes piping containing fuel at a pressure greater than approximately 500 psi. A pressure reducing valve connected downstream of the piping reduces the pressure of the fuel to less than approximately 200 psi. A heat exchanger connected downstream of the pressure reducing valve heats the wet saturated fuel or dry saturated fuel to produce a superheated fuel. A control valve connected downstream of the heat exchanger reduces the pressure of the superheated fuel to less than approximately 50 psi. A method for supplying superheated fuel to a gas turbine includes receiving fuel having a pressure greater than approximately 500 psi and reducing the pressure to less than approximately 200 psi. The method further includes separating gaseous fuel from liquid fuel, reducing the pressure of the gaseous fuel to less than approximately 50 psi, and flowing the superheated fuel to the gas turbine.

US Patent:
20120090331, Apr 19, 2012
Filed:
Oct 18, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/906558
Inventors:
Timothy Russell Bilton - Simpsonville SC, US
Daniel Martin Moss - Simpsonville SC, US
Korey Frederic Rendo - Greenville SC, US
Colin Wilkes - Anderson SC, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
F02C 7/22
US Classification:
60776, 60734
Abstract:
Systems and methods for supplying fuel to a gas turbine are described. A fuel may be received, and one or more parameters associated with the received fuel may be determined. Based at least in part upon the determined one or more parameters, a desired pressure for removing one or more liquids from the fuel utilizing a separator may be calculated. The operation of a pressure changing device may then be controlled in order to achieve the desired pressure. In certain embodiments, the operations of the method may be performed by a controller that includes one or more computers.
