  • Method and system for leading edge auxiliary turbine vanes
    Patent number: 11002141
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing negative incidence of an airfoil are provided. The apparatus includes a first row of stationary turbine main vanes and a second row of auxiliary vanes extending radially inwardly from a stationary casing of the turbine proximate the adjacent leading edge of the main vane. The apparatus also includes a flow channel defined between a pressure side of an auxiliary vane of the second row of auxiliary vanes and a suction side of an adjacent main vane of the row of stationary turbine main vanes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2021
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: David Paul Lurie, Sherif Alykadry Abdelfattah, Michael Julian Castillo, Anthony Louis DiPietro, Jr., Aspi Rustom Wadia, Gregory Burr Heitland
  • Method and system for leading edge auxiliary vanes
    Patent number: 10883515
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing negative incidence of an airfoil are provided. The apparatus includes a row of vane pairs including a first row of main vanes extending radially inwardly from a stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a first axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a second row of auxiliary vanes extending radially inwardly from the stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a second axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a flow channel defined between a pressure side of each auxiliary vane and a suction side of an adjacent main vane proximate a leading edge of the adjacent main vane.

  • Method and system for compressor vane leading edge auxiliary vanes
    Patent number: 10385871
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing negative incidence in a compressor is provided. The apparatus includes a first row of stationary main vanes, and a second row of stationary auxiliary vanes extending radially inwardly from a stationary casing of the compressor proximate the leading edges of the main vanes. A flow channel is defined between a pressure side of an auxiliary vane of the second row of auxiliary vanes and a suction side of an adjacent main vane of the row of main vanes.
