  • Patent number: 8816671
    Abstract: An electronic probe housing having two speed pick up devices automatically sends electric signals to an electronic governor which causes the RPM of the steam turbine to increase, decrease or remain constant, in conjunction with one or more additional speed pick up devices in the same probe housing which uses a logical array of electro-hydraulic solenoid valves to control an automatic shut off system which cuts off the steam supply to the steam turbine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2014
    Inventors: James Leon Jacoby, Jr., Timothy A. Pieszchala
  • Publication number: 20110279110
    Abstract: An inner chamber in a housing surrounding a first end of a drive shaft upon which the turbine blades are mounted, a gear ring within the inner chamber fixedly attached to the first end of the drive shaft, the gear ring having a plurality of spaced, ferrite extensions, two magnetic pickup sensors mounted within the inner chamber of the housing in near proximity to the spaced extensions providing indicia of rotating speed as the gear ring revolves with the drive shaft while the magnetic pickup devices remain stationary within the housing, and providing further that during operation, the electronic probe housing automatically sends electric signals to an electronic governor which causes the RPM of the steam turbine to increase, decrease or remain constant.

  • Publication number: 20110279111
    Abstract: An electronic housing having two speed pickup devices automatically sends electric signals to an electronic governor which causes the RPM of the steam turbine to increase, decrease or remain constant, in conjunction with software and electronic circuitry for controlling the management of a plurality of power sources for the electronics and minimizing the amounts of power used in such electronics.
