Patents by Inventor Josip KUTNJAK

Josip KUTNJAK has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10954821
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a turbine having a turbine housing or casing. The turbine housing includes a carrier ring and a ring contour component which is fastened to the carrier ring. The ring contour component has a circumferential flange with which it bears against an annular end face of the carrier ring. At least one hold down is provided which enables the flange of the ring contour component to be releasably fixed against the end face of the carrier ring. The turbine is configured to be part of a micro gas turbine in a combined heat and power cogeneration system.

  • Patent number: 10493472
    Abstract: A rotary atomizer turbine is provided, the turbine including a turbine wheel with multiple turbine blades, a blade duct containing the turbine blades and being delimited radially by a duct wall, a braking air nozzle, a driving air nozzle and an outlet region at the outlet of the driving air nozzle. The outlet region is delimited at the outside by the duct wall of the blade duct and at the inside by the turbine blade respectively passing through it. The blade duct is delimited radially at the inside opposite the braking air nozzle by a stationary flow barrier. Furthermore, the outlet region of the individual driving air nozzles is a divergent cross-sectional region which widens in the flow direction and rotates with that turbine blade passing the driving air nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20180371949
    Abstract: Plant systems are disclosed A disclosed example plant system includes a first assembly carried by a machine frame, and a second assembly coupled to an interface of the first assembly, where the interface has an interface axis along which at least one of a force flux, a torque flux, or a media flux can take pass from the first assembly and into the second assembly via the interface. The machine frame carries the second assembly.

  • Publication number: 20170292450
    Abstract: A (micro) gas turbine arrangement includes a gas turbine device having a combustor system, a turbine driven by an exhaust gas stream of the combustor system, and a compressor for supplying the combustor system with a compressed oxidant stream, as well as a recuperator for transferring at least a portion of the thermal power of the exhaust gas stream of the turbine to the compressed oxidant stream. At least one bypass diverts at least a portion of the oxidant stream or the exhaust gas stream around at least one heat exchanger of the recuperator, and at least one control element for adjusting the flow through the at least one bypass, to be able to adapt the quantity of heat emitted by the gas turbine arrangement at the design point, and thus to be able to improve the efficiency of a power-heat cogeneration system having such a gas turbine arrangement.
