  • Patent number: 10677453
    Abstract: A gas turbine with a sequential combustor arrangement as disclosed includes a first combustor with a first burner for admitting a first fuel into a combustor inlet gas during operation and a first combustion chamber for burning the first fuel, a dilution gas admixer for admixing a dilution gas to the first combustor combustion products leaving the first combustion chamber, a second burner for admixing a second fuel and a second combustion chamber. To assure a temperature profile after the dilution gas admixer and to increase the gas turbine's power and efficiency a vane and/or blade of the turbine has a closed loop cooling. The outlet of the closed loop cooling is connected to the dilution gas admixer for admixing the heated cooling gas leaving the vane and/or blade into the first combustor combustion products.

  • Patent number: 10527056
    Abstract: A method for repairing a blade connection of a generator rotor is disclosed. The generator rotor includes an internally threaded hole formed in the generator rotor and an externally threaded blade root. The method includes the steps of removing the blade from the generator rotor, removing material of a first section of the root extending from an end of the root closest to the airfoil, and screwing the blade back into the threaded hole. Additionally, a reworked blade and a reworked blade generator rotor connection is disclosed.
