A system for directing airflow, a gas turbine engine, and a method for directing airflow exiting a cascade of internal airfoils are provided. An exemplary system for directing airflow includes a cascade (152) of internal airfoils (154) spanning an airflow ...

A variable-vane assembly includes a generally annular nozzle ring (38) and an array of vanes (34) rotatably mounted to the nozzle ring and connected to a rotatable actuator ring (42), and an insert having a tubular portion structured and arranged to be sea...

The method involves controlling compressed air flow in a pneumatic network (2) by discharging whole compressed air that is not consumed by the pneumatic network towards a gas exhaust nozzle (34) through a variable opening depending on air pressure supplied...

A system and method for supercharging a combined cycle system (11) includes a forced draft fan (30) providing a variable air flow. At least a first portion of the air flow is directed to a compressor (15) and a second portion of the airflow is diverted to ...

The control system is intended for steam and/or gas turbines or power plants and monitors predefined operating parameters by means of a corresponding sensor system. In this case, redundant sensors are assigned a sensor-side processor circuit (4) which cont...

Power-generation plant equipment (1) of the present invention is provided with a steam-flow-volume adjusting valve (20) that is provided in a superheated-steam pipe (30) on the upstream side of a steam turbine (7). During startup of the steam turbine (7), ...

An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of an IBH system (95) has a single conduit (107), which is positioned close to a downstream end of a silencer section (90). This arrangement may reduce the overall pressure drop associated with the inle...
