Patent number: 9488191Abstract: An exhaust diffuser comprising an inner boundary and an outer boundary forming an annular gas path, and a plurality of strut structures extending radially within the gas path. Each of the strut structures include pressure and suction side walls, and a plurality of radially spaced flow injectors are formed in at least one of the pressure and suction side walls for injecting a fluid flow into the gas path adjacent to the strut structure. At least two fluid supply conduits provide a fluid flow to respective radially spaced flow injectors, and a flow control device is associated with each of the conduits to independently control a fluid flow from a fluid source to each of the radially spaced flow injectors.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Pawel Matys

Patent number: 9032721Abstract: A flow passage defined between an inner and an outer boundary for guiding a fluid flow in an axial direction. A flow control vane is supported at a radial location between the inner and outer boundaries. A fluid discharge opening is provided for discharging a flow of the compressed fluid from a trailing edge of the vane, and a fluid control surface is provided adjacent to the fluid discharge opening and extends in the axial direction at the trailing edge of the vane. The fluid control surface has a curved trailing edge forming a Coanda surface. The fluid discharge opening is selectively provided with a compressed fluid to produce a Coanda effect along the control surface. The Coanda effect has a component in the radial direction effecting a turning of the fluid flow in the flow path radially inward or outward toward one of the inner and outer boundaries.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Siemens Energy, Inc.Inventors: John A.
