  • Heat recovery in test cells for gas turbine engines
    Patent number: 6581369
    Abstract: A heat recovery system. Gas turbine engines are tested in test cells. Exhaust from the engines is ducted into an exhaust pipe which is vented to the atmosphere. To prevent heat in the exhaust from damaging the exhaust pipe, cooling water is sprayed into the pipe. The cooling water is boiled into steam, which is also vented to the atmosphere. The invention recovers heat from the cooling water, as opposed to losing the heat to the atmosphere in the form of steam.
