Filed:

Jan 28, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/766437

Inventors:

Michael Joseph Reale - Milford OH, US
Narendra Digamber Joshi - Cincinnati OH, US
David Paul Wolf - West Chester OH, US

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

F02C 3/30
F02C 7/143

US Classification:

60775, 60 3953, 60728

Abstract:

A method for operating a gas turbine engine, including a first compressor, a second compressor, and a turbine, coupled together in serial flow arrangement. The method includes channeling compressed airflow discharged from the first compressor through an intercooler having a cooling medium flowing therethrough, operating the intercooler such that condensate is formed in the intercooler from the compressed airflow, and channeling the condensate to an inlet of the first or second compressor to facilitate reducing an operating temperature of the gas turbine engine.

International Classification:

F02C 3/30
F02C 7/224

US Classification:

60775, 60 3955, 60736

Abstract:

A method for operating a gas turbine engine including a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine, coupled together in serial flow arrangement, and a fuel heating system including a heat exchanger and an economizer. The method includes channeling fuel through the heat exchanger, channeling a working fluid through the heat exchanger to facilitate regulating the operating temperature of the fuel and the operating temperature of the working fluid, and channeling the fuel and the working fluid into the gas turbine engine combustor to facilitate increasing a fuel efficiency of the gas turbine engine.

International Classification:

F41H 5/14

US Classification:

89 3609, 89 3611, 89 3612

Abstract:

A modular armored cab kit is provided for use on an armored vehicle that includes a cab body having a frame, an armored roof, an armored floor and a plurality of attachment elements, with the roof, floor and attachment elements being permanently attached to the frame. The cab kit further includes at least one non-armored panel, at least one non-armored door, at least one armored panel and at least one armored door, each for attachment to the cab body. The attachment elements facilitate field installation and removal of the panels and doors, wherein the non-armored panel and door are removably attached to the frame in a relatively low threat environment and are removed from the frame and replaced with the armored panel and door in a heightened threat environment.

US Classification:

435286

Abstract:

A bio-reactor system where cell growth microcarrier beads are suspended in a zero head space fluid medium by rotation about a horizontal axis and where the fluid is continuously oxygenated from a tubular membrane which rotates on a shaft together with rotation of the culture vessel. The oxygen is continuously throughput through the membrane and disbursed into the fluid medium along the length of the membrane.
