  • Patent number: 10724442
    Abstract: An aeroderivative gas turbine including an air intake plenum; a compressor with a compressor air intake in fluid communication with the air intake plenum; a combustor; a high pressure turbine; a power turbine. A forced air-stream generator is arranged in fluid communication with the air intake plenum. A shutter arrangement is provided in a combustion-air flow path, arranged and controlled to close the combustion-air flow path for pressurizing said air intake plenum by means of the forced air-stream generator to a pressure sufficient to cause pressurized air to flow through the aeroderivative air turbine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 28, 2020

  • Publication number: 20150033756
    Abstract: A gas turbine including: a turbine package, a gas turbine, a ventilation system for cooling the interior of the turbine package, and a lubricating oil circuit. The lubricating oil circuit comprises a lubricating oil pump, a lubricating oil tank, a primary lubricating oil cooler, and a secondary lubricating oil cooler. The secondary lubricating oil cooler is arranged in the turbine package, in a position lower than a rotary shaft of the gas turbine. The ventilation system is arranged and designed such that at least part of a package cooling airflow contacts the secondary lubricating oil cooler to remove heat from the lubricating oil circulating in the secondary lubricating oil cooler.
