  • Patent number: 6390785
    Abstract: An air booster system (10) for use with a gas turbine to deliver compressed air to a combustion chamber (14) includes a first cylinder (24) with a first piston (52) reciprocal therein and a second cylinder (26) having a second piston (54) reciprocal therein. The first piston (52) is connected to the second piston (54) by a connecting rod (56) such that the first and second pistons (52, 54) reciprocate together. The air booster system (10) also includes a third cylinder (28) having a third piston (58) reciprocal therein and a fourth cylinder (30) having a fourth piston (60) reciprocal therein. The third piston (58) is connected to the fourth piston (60) by a connecting rod (62) such that the third piston (58) and the fourth piston (60) reciprocate together. Each of the cylinders (24, 26, 28, 30) are in fluid communication with a compressor (12) to receive preliminarily compressed air therefrom.
