40 results about "Compressor stall" patented technology

A compressor stall is a local disruption of the airflow in the compressor of a gas turbine or turbocharger. A stall that results in the complete disruption of the airflow through the compressor is referred to as a compressor surge. The severity of the phenomenon ranges from a momentary power drop barely registered by the engine instruments to a complete loss of compression in case of a surge, requiring adjustments in the fuel flow to recover normal operation.

Method and Apparatus for Prevention of Compressor Stall and Combustion Flameout in a Turbine Engine

This invention is a means for preventing loss of flame and compressor section instability in a turbine engine. The invention uses an Electronic Control Unit to modify the fuel system demand signal to the final controlling element or elements of a turbine engine to prevent rapid changes either for increasing or decreasing the amount of fuel to the engine. The invention offers the simplicity and reliability of electronic control over previously used mechanical means such as dashpots, variable orifices, springs, and cams. The use of an electronic delay means further allows for reduction in the weight of the overall engine due to elimination of the mechanical apparatus, the ability to change the delay constants in a simple fashion by changing a preprogrammed value rather than physically changing the mechanical hardware, and the ability to have one or more differing delay rates for increasing or decreasing fuel delivery and operating conditions.
