Abstract

A nozzle guide vane assembly having a preestablished rate of thermal expansion is positioned in a gas turbine engine and being attached to conventional metallic components. The nozzle guide vane assembly includes a pair of legs extending radially outwardly from an outer shroud and a pair of mounting legs extending radially inwardly from an inner shroud. Each of the pair of legs and mounting legs have a pair of holes therein. A plurality of members attached to the gas turbine engine have a plurality of bores therein which axially align with corresponding ones of the pair of holes in the legs. A plurality of pins are positioned within the corresponding holes and bores radially positioning the nozzle guide vane assembly about a central axis of the gas turbine engine.

Nuclear reactor fuel assembly duct-tube-to-inlet-nozzle attachment system

Patent Christiansen, David W [Kennewick, WA]; Smith, Bob G [Kennewick, WA]

A reusable system for removably attaching the lower end 21 of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly duct tube to an upper end 11 of a nuclear reactor fuel assembly inlet nozzle. The duct tube's lower end 21 has sides terminating in locking tabs 22 which end in inwardly-extending flanges 23. The flanges 23 engage recesses 13 in the top section 12 of the inlet nozzle's upper end 11. A retaining collar 30 slides over the inlet nozzle's upper end 11 to restrain the flanges 23 in the recesses 13. A locking nut 40 has an inside threaded portion 41 whichmore »« less

Systems and methods for detecting a flame in a fuel nozzle of a gas turbine

Patent Kraemer, Gilbert Otto; Storey, James Michael; Lipinski, John; ...

A system may detect a flame about a fuel nozzle of a gas turbine. The gas turbine may have a compressor and a combustor. The system may include a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, and a transducer. The first pressure sensor may detect a first pressure upstream of the fuel nozzle. The second pressure sensor may detect a second pressure downstream of the fuel nozzle. The transducer may be operable to detect a pressure difference between the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor.

Cooling system for fuel nozzles within combustor in a turbine engine

Patent Laster, Walter Ray; Martin, Scott M.; Portillo Bilbao, Juan Enrique; ...

A cooling system for a fuel system in a turbine engine that is usable to cool a fuel nozzle is disclosed. The cooling system may include one or more cooling system housings positioned around the fuel nozzle, such that the cooling system housing forms a cooling chamber defined at least partially by an inner surface of the cooling system housing and an outer surface of the fuel nozzle. The fuel nozzle may extend into a combustor chamber formed at least in part by a combustor housing. The fuel nozzle may include one or more fuel exhaust orifices with an openingmore »« less

Pressurizer with a mechanically attached surge nozzle thermal sleeve

Patent Wepfer, Robert M

A thermal sleeve is mechanically attached to the bore of a surge nozzle of a pressurizer for the primary circuit of a pressurized water reactor steam generating system. The thermal sleeve is attached with a series of keys and slots which maintain the thermal sleeve centered in the nozzle while permitting thermal growth and restricting flow between the sleeve and the interior wall of the nozzle.
