  • Patent number: 10641179
    Abstract: A method of starting a gas turbine engine includes determining an abnormal shutdown condition during operation of the gas turbine engine and determining a first set of lightoff parameters for the gas turbine engine. The method also includes restarting the gas turbine engine using the first set of lightoff parameters. The method further includes iteratively determining subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters and restarting the gas turbine engine using a respective subsequent first set of the determined subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters until the gas turbine maintains a first set of operational parameters, where the first set of operational parameters is representative of a robust lightoff of the gas turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20060027463
    Abstract: Apparatus for sanitizing water generally includes a line for receiving a flow of water and an injector assembly for introducing an ozone containing gas into the flow of water to produce a first ozonated water having an increased oxygen concentration relative to the flow of water being passed to the injector assembly. The apparatus further includes an electrolytic device, for example, an electrolytic chlorinator cell, positioned to receive the first ozonated water from the injector assembly. The electrolytic device is effective to produce, from the first ozonated water, a second ozonated water including one or more biocidally effective substances other than oxygen gas. The second ozonated water includes biocidally effective substances, for example chlorine, hydroxyl radicals, and/or other effective oxidizing substances.

  • Publication number: 20050163678
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for therapeutic treatment of a body part for example, adult human feet, utilizing ozonated water. The apparatus includes a container holding a quantity of ozonated water and sized to contain a body part, for example at least one adult human foot. The apparatus further includes a cover secured to the container, an ozonated water generating system mounted to the container and an ozone destruction assembly for reducing undissolved ozone released from the ozontaed water in the container. The ozonated water generating system includes an ozone gas generator positioned to pass ozone gas into a stream of water being drawn into a water pump. Mixing of ozone gas and water flowing through the pump occurs in the water pump and this therapeutic ozonated water mixture is passed into the container.
