  • Systems and methods for reducing airflow imbalances in turbines
    Patent number: 10731568
    Abstract: A turbine system may include several air lines that extend from a compressor to a turbine, and the air lines may have valves. Additionally, the turbine system may also include several sensors that are coupled to the valves, several actuators that are coupled to the valves, and a controller that can send a command to set a valve position of one of the valves based at least partially on a valve position of another valve.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Chad Ernest Findlay, Ampili Kishore Kumar, Sal Albert Leone
  • Gas turbine with a valve cooling system
    Patent number: 10502137
    Abstract: The present application provides a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine may include a compressor air extraction system with a number of valves, an exhaust frame cooling system with an exhaust frame blower, and a turbine valve cooling system with one or more valve protection boxes surrounding one or more of the valves. The valve protection boxes may be in communication with a flow of air from the exhaust frame blower.
