  • Patent number: 5375411
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a combustion chamber housing of a gas turbine with a laterally arranged inlet elbow (8) for compressor air, which is uniformly distributed over the perforated cone (9) via an intake heart (6), impacts on the injector tube (10) there, and is deflected in the upward direction in the direction of the flame tube and the burner. It is necessary under certain operating conditions of the gas turbine to regulate the primary air flow to the burner, without having to reduce the output of the upstream compressor. This is accomplished according to the present invention by connecting a bypass line (3) with a compensator (1) and a regulating fixture (2), through which part of the air is sent from the air inlet elbow (8) directly into the interior of the injector tube (10) via an inlet tube (4), to the lower part of the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 5365759
    Abstract: A valve body with a retainer shoulder mounted on the side of the valve body. Inside the valve body is a valve obturator means which is rotatable inside the valve body and can open or block passages depending on the angle or position of the valve obturator means inside the valve body. A handle or lever is connected to the valve obturator means by a fastening means. A locking means is slidably mounted on the handle and has a stopping tooth which is positionable adjacent the retainer shoulder when the locking means is in a locked position. The stopping tooth and the retainer shoulder cooperate to block rotation of the handle when the locking means is in the locked position. The handle defines a bore which receives a bolt of a padlock. When the bolt of the padlock is in the bore, the locking means is prevented from moving out of the locked position.
