General Electric Company patent applications published on November 9th, 2023
Summary of the patent applications from General Electric Company on November 9th, 2023
General Electric Company has recently filed several patents related to various technologies. These patents cover innovations in turbine engines, pump systems, magnetic couplings, shrouds, and bleed valves.
In the field of turbine engines, one patent application describes a turbine engine with three main sections: compressor, combustion, and turbine. The combustion section includes a combustor liner with a combustion chamber, fuel nozzles, and heat shields. The heat shields have internal air flow passages and pin banks to dissipate heat and protect surrounding components. This innovation improves the efficiency and safety of the turbine engine.
Another patent application in the field of turbine engines describes a combustor with a vortex turbulence generator. The combustor liner has a flow passage with vortex generating turbulators that create a vortex turbulent flow of oxidizer. This flow helps to transfer heat from the cold surface side to the hot surface side of the combustor liner.
In the area of pump systems, one patent application focuses on oil lubricated supercritical fluid pumps with oil separators. The pump system includes a pump housing, a duct divided into three portions, and a separator to separate oil from the supercritical fluid. This innovation ensures efficient and reliable pressurization of the fluid in a closed loop thermal transport bus.
Another patent application in pump systems describes a system with an impeller, electric motor, bearings, and sprag elements. The sprag elements engage and disengage the inner and outer races of the bearings at different operational speed ranges, improving the system's performance and efficiency.
In the field of magnetic couplings, one patent application describes high pressure magnetic coupling shrouds made of thermoplastic composites or metals. These shrouds are designed to withstand high pressure conditions and improve the performance of magnetic couplings.
The organization has also filed patents related to layered barrier cans, which provide enhanced protection and containment for various products. These cans consist of inner and outer shells made of non-metallic materials, with a metal core shell in between.
Lastly, a patent application focuses on a bleed valve designed to reduce noise caused by airflow. The valve includes a door and a port with a vortex device that generates vorticity to reduce noise.
Notable applications:
- Turbine engine with heat shields and vortex turbulence generator for improved efficiency and safety.
- Pump systems with oil separators and sprag elements for efficient pressurization.
- High pressure magnetic coupling shrouds for improved performance.
- Layered barrier cans for enhanced protection and containment.
- Bleed valve with vortex device for reduced noise.
