  • System and method for lean blowout protection in turbine engines
    Patent number: 7917278
    Abstract: A lean blowout protection system and method is provided that facilitates improved lean blowout protection while providing effective control of turbine engine speed. The lean blowout protection system and method selectively and gradually biases the lean blowout (LBO) schedule based on current engine data. This facilitates improved lean blowout protection while providing effective control of turbine engine speed and temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2011
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Tom G. Mulera, Tim Belling, Shane R. Smith

  • Inter-turbine temperature display compensation method
    Patent number: 7509810
    Abstract: Control logic, and a method implemented by the control logic, compensates for mismatched inter turbine temperatures between two gas turbine engines and displays a biased inter turbine temperature (ITT) reading to the pilot without jeopardizing the need to be properly informed of the health of all engines and the relationship engine temperature compared to the maximum allowed temperature. A temperature compensation value is added to the lower inter turbine temperature to thereby increase the ITT to a value that is substantially equal to the higher ITT value. As a result, any potential nuisance or distraction that the flight crew may experience from displaying the mismatch is eliminated.
