  • Novel lubricant blend composition
    Publication number: 20060157383
    Abstract: A fluid blend suitable for use as a lube basestock comprises two major components: (A) a copolymer made from ethylene with one or more alpha olefins, the copolymer (i) containing not more than 50 wt % ethylene; (ii) having a number average molecular weight of from 400 to 10,000; and (iii) a molecular weight distribution <3; and (B) a polyalphaolefin fluid or a hydroprocessed oil having a VI greater than 80.
    Type: Application

  • Combustor with dilution bypass system and venturi jet deflector
    Patent number: 6250066
    Abstract: Disclosed is a premix injector for mixing air and fuel and injecting the mixture into a combustion chamber. The premix injector includes an air blast fuel nozzle, a venturi, and a premix chamber. The venturi extends from an inlet to an exit which is in fluid communication with a combustion chamber. Importantly, the venturi has a jet deflector along its interior wall near its exit and on the side of the venturi nearest the exit of the combustor.

  • Combustor dilution bypass method
    Patent number: 6178737
    Abstract: The present invention provides a valve and a low pressure drop combustor bypass. The valve simultaneously controls both the supply of air to the premixer and the amount of air directed into a large bypass duct. Air entering the bypass duct is reintroduced into the gas flowpath as dilution air downstream of the combustion zone. At low power settings the valve directs most of the air to the bypass duct, in effect bypassing the fixed area dilution ports, whereby the pressure drop across the combustor may be controlled at an optimal level.
