  • Patent number: 11873727
    Abstract: A hoist for lifting at least a portion of a gas engine assembly includes a support member including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a connecting portion extending therebetween. The hoist also includes an elongate member coupled to the lower portion of the support member and extending substantially orthogonally to the lower portion, and at least one bracket slidably engaged with the elongate member and axially translatable along a length of the elongate member. In addition, the hoist includes a plurality of linkage members coupled to the at least one bracket, where each linkage member of the plurality of linkage members is configured to attach to at least a portion of the gas engine assembly.

  • Patent number: 11808215
    Abstract: A system includes a bleed system configured to direct a bleed flow from a compressor section to an exhaust section of a gas turbine engine. The bleed system includes a first bleed conduit section configured to couple to the compressor section, a second bleed conduit section configured to couple to the exhaust section, and a first rotatable joint coupling together adjacent conduits of the first and second bleed conduit sections. The second bleed conduit section has components configured to rotate between a plurality of configurations relative to the first bleed conduit section and the compressor section via the first rotatable joint. The plurality of orientations corresponds to a plurality of exhaust outlet orientations of the exhaust section, and the components of the second bleed conduit section are the same in each orientation.

  • Patent number: 10784658
    Abstract: A restraint assembly includes a plurality of tensile restraints and a plurality of restraints. Each tensile restraint of the plurality of tensile restraints is configured to couple to a respective anchor plate of a plurality of anchor plates disposed on one or more foundations, and a mobile system. The mobile system is disposed on the one or more foundations. Each restraint includes a rigid element configured to couple to a respective anchor plate of the plurality of anchor plates, and to interface with or couple to a respective location on the mobile system.

  • Patent number: 10641171
    Abstract: A system includes a bleed system that directs a bleed flow form a high pressure region to a low pressure region. The bleed system includes a bleed conduit that includes an inlet coupled to the high pressure region. The bleed system also includes an outlet that provides the bleed flow into the low pressure region. The bleed conduit it slideably coupled to a housing that defines the low pressure region.
