Integration of electric machines, energy storage, and power transfer systems with gas turbine engines to enable hybrid operation, electric starting, or auxiliary power generation, improving efficiency or operational flexibility.
Systems and components designed to store thermal energy, often using sensible, latent (phase change material), or thermochemical reactions, for later release and utilization in various applications.
Novel designs and configurations for heat exchangers that improve heat transfer efficiency, compactness, or enable specific phase change or separation processes within refrigeration and heat pump cycles.
Techniques and structures within heat exchangers designed to enhance heat transfer efficiency by controlling and optimizing fluid flow, including baffle arrangements, jet impingement, and condensate management.
Heat transfer devices that utilize the phase change of a working fluid (evaporation and condensation) to efficiently move heat, often incorporating capillary structures, heat pipes, or vapor chambers.
Support systems for gas turbine engines, including specialized pumps, cleaning methods for engine components, mobile power generation units, and specific structural components like joints and fasteners.
Specific heat exchanger designs and auxiliary components tailored for integration into refrigeration, air conditioning, or heat pump systems, often involving gas-liquid separation or rotary mechanisms.
Non-traditional refrigeration and heat pump systems that utilize principles other than vapor compression, such as magnetocaloric effects, thermoelectric effects, absorption cycles, or thermochemical reactions.
Design and optimization of fin structures, baffles, and surface textures within heat exchangers to increase heat transfer area, promote turbulence, or manage fluid flow for improved thermal performance.
