International Classification:

H01M 804
US Classification:

429 13, 429 17, 429 20, 429 26
Abstract:

A fuel cell system comprises a compressor and a fuel processor downstream of the compressor. A fuel cell stack is in communication with the fuel processor and compressor. A combustor is downstream of the fuel cell stack. First and second turbines are downstream of the fuel processor and in parallel flow communication with one another. A distribution valve is in communication with the first and second turbines. The first and second turbines are mechanically engaged to the compressor. A bypass valve is intermediate the compressor and the second turbine, with the bypass valve enabling a compressed gas from the compressor to bypass the fuel processor.

Assignee:

AlliedSignal Inc. - Morris Township NJ
International Classification:

F04B 1700
US Classification:

417405
Abstract:

US Patent:

52096521, May 11, 1993
Filed:

Dec 6, 1991
Appl. No.:

7/804345
Inventors:

Richard L. Fischer - Rolling Hills Estates CA
Terence P. Emerson - Hermosa Beach CA
Alston L. Gu - Rancho Palos Verdes CA
Assignee:

Allied-Signal, Inc. - Morris Township, Morris County NJ
International Classification:

F04B 1700
US Classification:

417409
Abstract:

A turbopump which operates at cryogenic temperatures to pump cryogenic liquid fuels to high pressure, and which includes a rotating group supported on process fluid foil journal bearings and a hydrostatic and hydrodynamic foil thrust bearing. A back-face surface of a pump rotor reacts thrust forces to the foil thrust bearing and receives counter acting hydrostatic fluid forces dynamically moderated to achieve an equilibrium axial position and force balance.

US Patent:

47922788, Dec 20, 1988
Filed:

Aug 14, 1987
Appl. No.:

7/085904
Inventors:

Terence P. Emerson - Hermosa Beach CA
Assignee:

Allied-Signal, Inc. - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:

F04D 2958
US Classification:

415178
Abstract:

A turbocooler includes a multistage turbine wheel for simultaneous and independent interaction with multiple gas streams to reduce the temperature levels of the gas streams. The turbine wheel includes at least two turbine stages designed to discharge the respective gas streams at different temperature levels, wherein the warmer gas stream is interposed between the colder gas stream and a turbocooler load. The warmer gas stream thus provides a thermal barrier isolating the colder gas stream from turbocooler heat sources thereby permitting increased temperature reduction of the colder gas stream for use, for example, in cryocooler applications. The multistage turbine wheel further facilitates bearing lift-off, for example, in a foil bearing machine.
