Patent number: 10774844Abstract: A system is provided, including an airfoil. The airfoil includes a first suction portion of a nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z of a suction side as set forth in TABLE I to a maximum of three decimal places, wherein the X and Y values of the suction side are coordinate values that couple together to define suction side sections of the first suction portion of the nominal airfoil profile at each Z coordinate value, the suction side sections of the first suction portion of the nominal airfoil profile are coupled together to define the first suction portion, the airfoil includes an airfoil length along a Z axis, the first suction portion comprises a first portion length along the Z axis, the first portion length is less than or equal to the airfoil length, and the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z are non-dimensional values convertible to dimensional distances.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Paul Griffin Delvernois, Steven Lynn Huskins

Patent number: 10167872Abstract: A compressor includes a first stage of stator vanes having a first position and a second group of stator vanes arranged in two or more stages downstream from the first stage of stator vanes, each stage having a respective second position. A first actuator is engaged with the first stage of stator vanes, and a second actuator is engaged with a bar connecting the second group of stator vanes. A method for operating a compressor includes adjusting a first position of a first plurality of stator vanes and adjusting the respective second positions of a second group of stator vanes separately from the first position of the first stage of stator vanes.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Dwight Eric Davidson, Paul Griffin Delvernois

Patent number: 9145777Abstract: An article of manufacture has a first component configured for use with a turbomachine. The first component is configured for attachment to a second component, and reduces the possibility of attachment with an undesired third component by modification of a characteristic of the first component. This modification is matched by a complementary characteristic of the second component. The first component has a nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in a scalable table selected from the group consisting of TABLES 1-11. Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values convertible to dimensional distances by multiplying by a number. X and Y are coordinates which, when connected by continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each Z height. The airfoil profile sections at each Z height being joined with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Michael James Dutka, John Duong, Ya-Tien Chiu, Alexander David Shrum, Kelvin Rono Aaron, Christopher Edward LaMaster, San-Dar Gau, Franco Monteleone, Paul Griffin Delvernois, Matthew John McKeever, Govindarajan Rengarajan, Jeremy Peter Latimer, Marc Edward Blohm, Eric Richard Bonini, Venkata Siva Prasad Chaluvadi, Jamie Dean Lumpkin, Thomas Robbins Tipton
