Patents by Inventor Felix Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11149947
    Abstract: The can combustion chamber includes a casing housing a plurality of cans. Each can includes a wall and a perforated cooling liner around the wall. Cooling liners of adjacent cans have staggered perforations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2021
    Assignee: ANSALDO ENERGIA SWITZERLAND AG
    Inventors: Felix Baumgartner, Michael Thomas Maurer, Christof Graber
  • Patent number: 10648667
    Abstract: A combustion chamber includes a duct wall for guiding a hot gas flow in a hot gas flow path during operation. The duct wall is a double-walled construction including an inner face, an outer face, and a wall cavity. A sleeve at least partly encloses the duct wall for guiding a cooling gas in a cooling channel between the sleeve and the duct wall along the outer surface of the duct wall to an exit end, and the cavity opens to the cooling channel. A gas turbine is disclosing as having such a combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 10253985
    Abstract: The invention concerns a sequential liner for a gas turbine combustor, having a sequential liner outer wall spaced apart from a sequential liner inner wall to define a sequential liner cooling channel between the sequential liner outer wall and the sequential liner inner wall. The sequential liner outer wall includes a first face, a first adjacent face and a second adjacent face, the first and second adjacent faces each being adjacent to the first face, the first face of the sequential liner outer wall having a first convective cooling hole adjacent to the first adjacent face and a second convective cooling hole adjacent to the second adjacent face, each convective cooling hole being arranged to direct a convective cooling flow into the sequential liner cooling channel adjacent to each adjacent face. The invention also concerns a method of cooling using the sequential liner and a method of retrofitting a gas turbine.

  • Patent number: 10060352
    Abstract: An impingement cooled wall arrangement includes a flow diverter arranged in the cooling flow path between the cooled wall and a sleeve to divert a cross flow away from a second aperture. The flow diverter extends in downstream direction of the cross flow beyond the second aperture with a first leg extending along one side of the second aperture in downstream direction of the cross flow and a second leg extending along the other side of the second aperture. No impingement cooling aperture is arranged in a first convective cooling section of the wall between the upstream end and downstream end of the flow diverter outside the section shielded by the diverter.
