  • Stator damper shim
    Patent number: 7837435
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing vibration and wear to adjacent platform surfaces and mounting locations of a vane segment in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The present invention seeks to improve the interaction between mating faces of adjacent gas turbine vane assemblies by increasing the surface area where contact between the adjacent vanes occurs, so as to increase the damping capability and reduce the wear to the mating surfaces.

  • Low emissions hydrogen blended pilot
    Patent number: 6874323
    Abstract: A method of operating a gas turbine combustor to achieve overall lower emissions of nitrous oxides by supplying a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen gas to the combustion chamber of the gas turbine in a manner that the localized concentration of hydrogen gas is greater than 0.1% by mass of the mass of the mixture, and less than 20.0% by mass of the mixture prior to combusting the mixture in the combustion chamber.
