  • Patent number: 8327644
    Abstract: A micro gas turbine engine for use in a turbo heater or co-generation application is described. The micro gas turbine engine includes a fuel delivery system which minimizes the development of deposits in the air-fuel passageway. To this end, a fuel delivery channel formed between a fuel deflector and a slinger body is formed with a contoured or undulating surface. A fuel deflector ring is interposed between the fuel delivery channel and the slinger impeller to facilitate the flow of the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 6679433
    Abstract: The present invention provides a turbo heater which utilizes a gas turbine engine and a heat exchanger assembly. The gas turbine engine is adapted to efficiently operate over a prolonged period of time and at varying power outputs without adverse or detrimental effects to the components thereof. For example, the gas turbine engine includes bearing assemblies and a fuel delivery systems which are uniquely designed for the demands of repeated cycling (i.e. starting and stopping), as well as operation at various power outputs without damage to the gas turbine engine. In addition, the use of exhaust gas from the gas turbine engine eliminates direct impingement of combustion on the heat exchanger element, thereby significantly increasing the durability and life span of the turbo heater.

  • Patent number: 4872508
    Abstract: An accumulator to be mounted in conjunction with an oil well pump which has a reciprocating polish rod. The polish rod is mounted in conjunction with the stuffing box of the oil well pump. The accumulator is attached to and sealed relative to the ambient to the stuffing box. The accumulator includes an internal chamber with any liquid leakage from the stuffing box being conducted into the internal chamber. Located within the internal chamber is a pressure diffusing plate assembly to diffuse any excess pressure being released from the stuffing box. Any accumulated liquid within the internal chamber of the accumulator is to be conducted through an outlet from the accumulator and deposited at an appropriate exterior location.
