  • Leak detection system and method
    Patent number: 11821814
    Abstract: A leak detection system is provided with a first window configured to mount at a first opening in a first wall portion in an enclosure (e.g., for a gas turbine engine or other equipment in a power plant). The leak detection system includes a leak sensor configured to transmit a beam through the first window and an interior of the enclosure to obtain sensor feedback. The leak detection system includes a controller configured to evaluate the sensor feedback to monitor for a leak of a hazardous fluid in the enclosure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2023
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Valery Ivanovich Ponyavin, Miguel Angel Mendoza, Srinivas Avishetti, Rajesh Reddy Konatham

  • Fuel leak detection system for use in a turbine enclosure
    Patent number: 9506835
    Abstract: A fuel leak detection system for use in a turbine enclosure is provided. The system includes a ventilation duct extending through an interior cavity of the turbine enclosure such that an extended portion of the ventilation duct is positioned within a bottom portion of the turbine enclosure. The ventilation duct includes a plurality of openings configured to allow air from within the turbine enclosure to be drawn into the ventilation duct through the plurality of openings. The system also includes a sensor system coupled in flow communication with the air drawn into the ventilation duct, the sensor system configured to detect fuel in the air.
