Abstract

A heat exchanger assembly is provided that is modularly constructable for in-line or off-engine installation. A water removal device is also provided which may be used independently or in conjunction with a heat exchanger to remove water from a fluid flow path.

Description

technical field [0001] This embodiment generally relates to heat exchangers. More specifically, the present embodiments relate to heat exchanger intercoolers that can conform to various duct shapes, reduce the footprint of existing intercooler systems, and can be installed inline with the turbine shaft, or can Offset from turbine axis. Background technique [0002] In a gas turbine engine, for example, air is pressurized in a compressor and mixed with fuel in a combustor for generating hot combustion gases that flow downstream and expand through turbine stages. During expansion, the turbine stages extract energy from the combustion gases and reduce the pressure of the combustion gases. Combustion gases may continue to pass through multiple lower stage turbines. One or more turbine shafts are connected to one or more compressor stages to operate the compressors. [0003] Turbine engines are commonly used in the power industry to generate energy for local residential and c...
