Patents by Inventor Patrick Flohr

Patrick Flohr 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).

  • Burner, method for operating a burner and gas turbine
    Patent number: 7320222
    Abstract: This invention relates to a burner, especially a gas turbine burner, wherein a Helmholtz resonator downstream of a fuel inlet position in directly linked with a burner channel. In this manner, combustion oscillations do not arrive at the fuel inlet position, thereby reducing acoustic disturbances and air ration deviations which are the main cause for the formation of combined oscillations. The invention also relates to a method for operating a burner and a gas turbine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2008
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Patrick Flohr, Werner Krebs, Günther Schulze
  • Gas turbine
    Patent number: 7246493
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas turbine comprising a combustor that extends into a combustion chamber. The port of the combustor is surrounded in a ring-shaped manner by a Helmholtz resonator, whereby combustion oscillations are effectively suppressed due to close contact with the flame while irregularities in temperature are prevented.
