Patent number: 9518741Abstract: A fuel control module including a gas vent manifold is disclosed. The gas vent manifold includes a first gas vent portion including a first gas vent connection and a second gas vent portion including a second gas vent connection. The gas vent manifold also includes a condensation portion extending between the first gas vent portion and the second gas vent portion. The gas vent manifold further includes a condensation drain port fluidly connected to the condensation portion. The gas vent manifold also includes a plurality of connection ports. Each connection port is configured to fluidly couple the gas vent manifold to a vent line of one or more pneumatic valves.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Solar Turbines IncorporatedInventors: Darren Matthew Stratton, Behnood Miri

Patent number: 9151228Abstract: A split fuel control module for a gas turbine engine and method of installation. The split fuel control module includes a first frame unit, a second frame unit, a segmented fuel path, and a distributed fuel controller. The first frame unit and the second frame unit are joined together at a frame unit interface. The segmented fuel path includes an upstream fuel interface fixed to the first frame unit and a downstream fuel interface fixed to the second frame unit and detachably coupled to the upstream fuel interface at the frame unit interface. A first portion of the distributed fuel controller is fixed to the first frame unit, and a second portion of the distributed fuel controller is fixed to the second frame unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Solar Turbines IncorporatedInventors: Darren Matthew Stratton, Gregory Lee Landrum
