US Patent:

20190078777, Mar 14, 2019

Filed:

Feb 28, 2017

Appl. No.:

16/084802

Inventors:

Jay Keller - Oakland CA, US
Susan Schoenung - Menlo Park CA, US

International Classification:

F23D 14/24
F23D 11/38

Abstract:

The present invention is a combustion strategy using a swirl burner tip, which is one of stoichiometric mixture of reactants (2H+O→2HO) with added high quality dry steam (HO (g)) as a thermal diluent. The amount of dry steam can be determined by the safety requirements of the reactants and the desired temperature of post-flame gases. It can be appreciated that the design of the swirl burner tip is for safe handling of the reactants, and for rapid and thorough mixing of the reactants so combustion occurs in a nearly premixed configuration exterior of the swirl burner tip. The H/Oratio is fixed to consume all Hand O(stoichiometric), with dry steam (HO (g)) strategically added to the reactants. The burner tip is configured to create counter swirling reactant flows separate from each other.

H02K 7/18

Abstract:

A combined cycle dual closed loop electric generating system, comprising a gas turbine assembly (comprising a combustion chamber, a compressor, a first pump, a first driveshaft, a gas turbine and a first generator) and a steam turbine assembly (comprising a second pump, a second driveshaft, a steam turbine and a second generator). Said first portion of said working fluid circulates through said gas turbine assembly and a first heat exchanger. Said second portion of said working fluid circulates through said steam turbine assembly and said first heat exchanger. Said first heat exchanger transfers a first heat energy from said gas turbine loop to said steam turbine loop. Said gas turbine assembly generates a first portion of an electric output. Said steam turbine assembly generates a second portion of said electric output.
