  • Patent number: 7134882
    Abstract: In a connector with a component built-in, a base member is formed of three-dimensional formation circuit substrate, and has a fitting portion that is to be fitted to a connector of counterpart. Terminals electrically connected to a wiring pattern on a mother board, contacts electrically connected to contacts of the connector of counterpart, and a conductive pattern electrically connected to the electronic component are formed on a surface of the base member. Thus, the conductive pattern can easily be modified depending on application, and it is possible to provide complicated wirings. Furthermore, since the electronic component is mounted on the base member, it is possible to make the connector embed a lot of electronic components, and degrees of freedom of design are increased. Still furthermore, the electronic component can be connected by reflow soldering, so that mounting workability of the electronic component is increased.

  • Patent number: 6536205
    Abstract: Provided is turbine plant using methanol as fuel in which working fluid is compressed by compressor 1 and led into combustor 2. A mixture of H2 and CO2 as fuel added with O2 is burned to generate high temperature gas, which works at high temperature turbine 3, flows through heat exchangers 4, 5 and returns partly to the compressor 1 and enters partly low pressure turbine 7 of bottoming system to work. Condensed water from condenser 9 of the bottoming system is pressurized by pressure pump 10 and flows through the heat exchangers 4, 5 to become high temperature steam and to work at high pressure turbine 6. Exhaust gas thereof is mixed into the combustor 2. A mixture of methanol and water is supplied into reformer 13 to absorb heat from the heat exchanger 4 to be reformed into H2 and CO2, which is supplied into the combustor 2.

  • Patent number: 6438939
    Abstract: A combined cycle power plant includes a combination of a gas turbine plant and steam turbine plant. The gas turbine cooling steam temperature is adjusted appropriately so that the gas turbine can be made of easily obtainable material. Steam supplied from the intermediate pressure evaporator is mixed into the cooling steam supply passage for supplying therethrough exhaust steam from the high pressure steam turbine into the gas turbine high temperature portion as cooling steam. Thus, cooling steam temperature is lowered without lowering of the entire efficiency, and material of less heat resistant ability becomes usable as material forming the gas turbine high temperature portion to be cooled. Thus, design and manufacture of the gas turbine may be satisfied by less expensive and easily obtainable material.

  • Publication number: 20020029559
    Abstract: Gas turbine system is constructed such that no fuel gas compressor is used and a turbine is operated at low temperature so that a life of the system is elongated and the safety is enhanced. Air compressed at a compressor (11) of about 200° C. enters a heat exchanger (12) to be heated by combustion gas to about 760 to 900° C. to enter the turbine (13) and to work to rotate a generator (15). Exhaust air of the turbine (13) of which temperature is lowered to about 500 to 750° C. is supplied into a combustor (14) for fuel combustion to generate high temperature combustion gas of about 800 to 950° C. This combustion gas enters the heat exchanger (12) to heat the air from the compressor (11). The air is heated by the high temperature combustion gas with no fuel gas compressor being used and the turbine is operated by the lower temperature air as compared with a conventional case. Hence, the system is made less expensive, the life is elongated and the safety is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 6212873
    Abstract: The invention provides a gas turbine combined cycle structured such that an intermediate cooling device for cooling a compression air discharged from a low pressure compressor, so as to reduce a load of a high pressure compressor, is provided. The gas turbine combined cycle in accordance with the invention is structured such as to branch water from a condenser to a steam generating device for generating steam. Exhaust gas discharged from a steam turbine is condensed to water. Compression air discharged from a low pressure compressor is cooled by being supplied to an intermediate cooling device, and is then supplied to a high pressure compressor. Steam which heats and operates the steam turbine is generated by the heat recovered by the cooling of the compression air in the intermediate cooling device. Accordingly, there can be obtained a gas turbine combined cycle having the advantage of the conventional intermediate cooling type gas turbine combined cycle, but exhibiting an improved combined efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6116017
    Abstract: In a combined cycle power plant, exhaust from a high pressure turbine is branched so that part of it is supplied to a steam cooling system, and the other part of it is supplied to an inlet of a reheater of an exhaust heat recovery boiler. The exhaust supplied to the steam cooling system performs predetermined cooling and becomes heated. Then, the heated exhaust is guided from an outlet of the steam cooling system to an intermediate position of the reheater, merged with the exhaust supplied to the inlet of the reheater, and temperature-adjusted in the reheater. Then, the reheated, combined steam is supplied to a downstream turbine for heat recovery. Thus, a safe, reliable steam cooling system is achieved by effectively using a sufficient amount of high pressure turbine exhaust.

  • Patent number: 5951246
    Abstract: An exhaust system for a marine gas turbine may suppress a reduction of an efficiency even if a space therefor is small. In the exhaust system for a marine gas turbine, in which an end portion of an exhaust diffuser 2 is assembled into an exhaust chamber 1 connected with an upper exhaust eductor 4, the end portion of the exhaust diffuser 2 is disposed in the vicinity of an inlet of the exhaust chamber 1. An outlet 2a of the exhaust diffuser is slanted so that an upper portion of the outlet of an end of the exhaust diffuser is located upstream of a lower portion of the outlet. As a result, the exhaust gas may readily flow around and into the exhaust eductor 4.
