Abstract: Cooling air passages are formed in the wall of an exhaust casing connected to a turbine casing of a gas turbine. Low pressure air extracted from the low pressure-stage of an air compressor of the gas turbine is supplied to the cooling air passage from the portion near the downstream end of the exhaust casing. Cooling air flows through the cooling air passage toward the upstream end of the exhaust casing and then flows into an annular cavity formed in the turbine casing near the portion corresponding to the last turbine stage. Therefore, the metal temperature of the exhaust casing near the upstream end (near the joint between the exhaust casing and the turbine casing) is lowered by the cooling air and, as cooling air of a relatively high temperature is supplied to the cavity in the turbine casing, the metal temperature of the turbine casing near the downstream end becomes higher than that provided by a conventional cooling system. Therefore, the difference between the metal temperatures of the turbine casing and the exhaust casing becomes very small and the thermal stress exerted on the exhaust casing due to the temperature difference can be largely reduced.

Abstract: A system for pressure testing the seals and fittings associated with at least one communication line (26) passing through a well tool mandrel (12), each communication line housed within a communication line conduit (16) defined through the well tool and sealingly engaged to each end of its corresponding communication line conduit by way of a fitting (53) and the fittings also sealingly engaged to the communication line conduit. The system generally comprises a testing conduit (34) and testing passageway system (47) defined in the well tool mandrel. A testing plug (44) provides fluid communication between a pressure testing source and the testing passageway system.

Title: Method and apparatus for a catalytic firebox reactor
Inventor: PFEFFERLE WILLIAM C
IPC: F23D14/16
Filed: 2000-03-31
Granted: 2007-07-24
Abstract: A catalytic firebox reactor employing an exothermic catalytic reaction channel and multiple cooling conduits for creating a partially reacted fuel/  oxidant mixture. An oxidation catalyst is deposited on the walls forming the boundary between the multiple cooling conduits and the exothermic catalytic reaction channel, on the side of the walls facing the exothermic catalytic reaction channel.  This configuration allows the oxidation catalyst to be backside cooled by any fluid passing through the cooling conduits. The heat of reaction is added to both the fluid in the exothermic catalytic reaction channel and the fluid passing through the cooling conduits. After discharge of the fluids from the exothermic catalytic reaction channel, the fluids mix to create a single combined flow. A further innovation in the reactor incorporates geometric changes in the exothermic catalytic reaction channel to provide streamwise variation of the velocity of the fluids in the reactor.
