  • Patent number: 7107295
    Abstract: Documents used for process control can be managed and maintained from a document server and a terminal. In order to update the documents quickly so that an operated process is always kept in the most preferable state of operation, the document server stores and manages production documents used for actually controlling and monitoring a control system plant, whereas the terminal system is used to refer and edit plant documents. The terminal can synchronize contents of the plant documents in the document server with those in the control system before storing the synchronized plant documents in the terminal.

  • Patent number: 5515680
    Abstract: An apparatus for mixing gaseous fuel and air for combustion, particularly premixing-type combustion in a gas turbine, has a conduit providing a passage for flow of the air with a reverse bend defined by opposed first and second wall portions that bound respectively the outside and the inside of said reverse bend as seen in a longitudinal section. The reverse bend establishes a flow region of air having a velocity gradient extending transversely across the conduit from a high velocity zone adjacent the first side wall portion at the outside of the reverse bend to a low velocity zone. Injection means for the gaseous fuel injects the fuel from the first side wall portion into the high velocity zone with a velocity component transverse to the air flow and in a direction towards the low velocity zone. Rapid and uniform mixing is obtained.

  • Patent number: 5323614
    Abstract: A premixed combustor for a gas turbine, comprises, a combustion chamber for burning a fuel with an air therein, at least two premixed fuel/air mixture outlets which are juxtaposed with each other, and through each of which a premixed fuel/air mixture flows out into the combustion chamber, and a flow deflection member arranged between the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets, urging the permixed fuel/air mixture from one of the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets to go away from another one of the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets, and terminating in the combustion chamber so that the premixed fuel/air mixture from the one of the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets is permitted to move toward the premixed fuel/air mixture flowing out from the another one of the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets after going away from the another one of the premixed fuel/air mixture outlets.

  • Patent number: 4671069
    Abstract: A premixture of compressed air and gaseous fuel is supplied and conbusted into a head combustion chamber of a combustor for gas turbine and main combustion of lean, low flame temperature is carried out in a rear combustion chamber following the heat combustion chamber to prevent the formation of high flame temperature which tends to promote NOx generation.
