Abstract: One or more cooling systems for ventilating a turbine and rotary shaft of a gas turbine system is provided. The gas turbine system includes a gas turbine engine and a turbine exhaust collector in separate enclosures. A first cooling system includes an educator that sucks exhaust gas through a diffuser and directs it out of the turbine exhaust collector enclosure based on suction pressure created from the high velocity of exhaust gas. A second cooling system include struts that enable the exhaust gas to flow from the diffusers to a ventilation flow stack. A third cooling system includes exhaust gas sucked from an opening to a top duct based on suction pressure created from the rotation of the rotary shaft disposed about a coupling. A guideway associated with the third cooling system also directs the exhaust gas to flow to the top duct.

Abstract: A mixer is disclosed for use in a fluid injection system. The mixer may have an impingement floor oriented generally perpendicular to an intended fluid injection direction and generally parallel with a flow direction. The mixer may also have a first side wall connected along a lengthwise edge of the impingement floor and generally parallel with the flow direction, and a second side wall connected along an opposing lengthwise edge of the impingement floor and generally parallel with the flow direction. The mixer may further have at least one shelf extending between the first and second side walls and generally parallel with the flow direction. The at least one shelf may have a plurality of vanes protruding toward and away from the impingement floor that promotes mixing of an injected fluid.
