US Patent:

6381944, May 7, 2002

Filed:

Jan 29, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/772537

Inventors:

Robin Mackay - Rancho Palos Verdes CA

Assignee:

Capstone Turbine Corporation - Woodland Hills CA

International Classification:

F02C 700

US Classification:

60 3906, 415155

Abstract:

A gas turbine engine includes a rotatable impeller having a plurality of vanes with inlet and outlet ends. A plurality of diffuser channels are spaced apart radially beyond the outlet ends. A movable source of gaseous fuel is positioned adjacent the inlet ends of the vanes. The movable source of gaseous fuel is movable as a function of the rotational speed of the impeller, whereby the flow of gaseous fuel injected from the movable source is ejected from the outlet ends of the vanes into a selected one of the plurality of diffuser channels to facilitate combustion.

Filed:

Aug 21, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/935207

Inventors:

Robin Mackay - Rancho Palos Verdes CA 90275

International Classification:

F02C 7057

US Classification:

60773, 60 3941, 60801

Abstract:

A gas turbine which is capable of operating in more than one pressure mode. The gas turbine, which may include a single fixed spool, multiple fixed spools, or a combination of fixed spool(s) and a free turbine, can operate in a positive pressure mode, a transatmospheric mode, or a subatmospheric mode. Valving is provided to control the particular pressure mode of operation in response to system requirements and to switch between pressure modes as required.

The gas turbine, which may include a single fixed spool, multiple fixed spools, or a combination of fixed spool(s) and a free turbine, can operate in a positive pressure mode, a transatmospheric mode, or a subatmospheric mode. Valving is provided to control the particular pressure mode of operation in response to system requirements and to switch between pressure modes as required. The gas turbine is particularly useful with a catalytic combustor where the gas turbine can be started in a mode where the catalytic combustor, and its associated preheater, is at or below atmospheric pressure.

Filed:

Aug 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/225235

Inventors:

Robin MacKay - Rancho Palos Verdes CA, US

International Classification:

H02J001/10

US Classification:

307 29, 307 23, 307 86

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a precise power system which utilizes two separate inverters fed by a rectifying power supply from a generator set. During normal operation, the first or critical inverter would feed the critical load(s) and the second or non-critical inverter would assist the electric utility in feeding the non-critical load(s). During utility grid failure, the second inverter is disconnected from the power supply so that the entire output of the generator set is available to the critical load. During generator set failure, the utility grid powers the second inverter to supply power to the first inverter for the critical load(s).

International Classification:

F02C 6/18

US Classification:

60784, 60 3913, 237 121, 290 2

Abstract:
