Patents by Inventor Mohamed DOUCH

Mohamed DOUCH 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).

  • Publication number: 20240125094
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a metering valve for controlling the amount of a fluid passed through the valve and a servo-valve for controlling the metering valve, wherein the servo-valve is decoupled from the metering valve to thermally distance or thermally isolate the servo-valve from any heat from the fluid passing through the metering valve. The metering valve and servo-valve may be used to attemperate a steam stream in a power plant attemperation system, such as a system for attemperating a superheated steam gas stream from a power plant being used for a heat-recovery steam generator. An integrated metering valve and discharge valve for discharging fluid during periods of non-use is also provide. Changeable throttle plates are also provided that control the flow of the fluid through the control chamber of the metering valve and the discharge valve.

  • Patent number: 11105224
    Abstract: A water-injection system for power plants and for injecting water into a steam system includes a supply unit, a metering unit and an injection unit. The supply unit is configured to make water available to the metering unit. The metering unit is in the form of an electrically actuable system and is configured to meter a quantity of water to be injected into the steam system and to make it provide to the injection unit. The injection unit is configured to introduce the water into the steam system.
