  • Patent number: 10900664
    Abstract: A fuel gas nozzle used in a microturbine includes a first chamber, a second chamber connected to the first chamber, a pilot fuel gas pipe, a main fuel gas pipe and an intake pipe. An intake zone and a mixing zone are respectively formed in the first chamber and the second chamber and are communicated with each other. The pilot fuel gas pipe is for introducing a first fuel gas into a downstream of the second chamber. The main fuel gas pipe is for introducing a second fuel gas into the mixing zone via the intake zone. The intake pipe is for introducing an air into the mixing zone. A centerline of the intake pipe is not intersected with a centerline of the second chamber, so as to induce a vortex flow field of the air flowing into the mixing zone for mixing the air and the second fuel gas.

  • Patent number: 10619853
    Abstract: A micro turbine generator includes a compressor, a guide channel, an expansion chamber, and a recuperator. The expansion chamber includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a guide vane structure. The air inlet is disposed at one end of the expansion chamber, connected with the compressor through the guide channel, and receives an air compressed by the compressor. The air outlet is disposed at the other end of the expansion chamber, connected with the recuperator, and discharges the air, allowing the air to enter the recuperator. The guide vane structure extends inward from an inner wall of the expansion chamber to allow the air to pass the guide vane structure before being discharged from the air outlet to enter the recuperator.

  • Publication number: 20190145284
    Abstract: An exhaust channel of a microturbine engine, characterized by a tapering pipe for reducing the speed at which a high-temperature gas is discharged from the turbine and ensuring that the high-temperature gas induced into a recuperator produces a uniform, low-speed flow field, with a view to preventing any noticeable vortex region from developing in the channel, minimizing the pressure loss in the channel, and enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of the recuperator.
