Cooling of liquid fuel components to eliminate coking

A system for cooling gas turbine liquid fuel components located in a high temperature environment to eliminate coking in the liquid fuel components comprising:

• a blower for providing a current of cool air;
• a first tube connected to the blower;
• a manifold connected to the first tube;
• a plurality of second tubes extending from the manifold;
• and
• a plurality of sleeves jacketing the liquid fuel components and being connected to the plurality of second tubes extending from the manifold, each sleeve surrounding at least one liquid fuel component and being connected to a corresponding second tube to receive the current of cool air for cooling the liquid fuel component

A system for cooling at least one gas turbine fuel oil component located in a high temperature environment to eliminate coking in the at least one fuel oil component comprising:

• a blower to draw in ambient air;
• a supply header connected to the blower;
• a supply manifold connected to the supply header;
• at least one supply tube extending from the manifold;
• and
• at least one sleeve jacketing the at least one fuel oil component and being connected to the at least one supply tube to receive the current of cool air to cool the fuel oil component.

A system for cooling at least one gas turbine liquid fuel component located in a high temperature liquid environment to eliminate coking in the at least one liquid fuel component comprising:

• an insulating jacket surrounding the at least one liquid fuel component,
• a supply of cool liquid,
• a pump connected to the supply of cool liquid for providing a current of said cool liquid, and
• a conduit connected to the pump and extending into the jacket wherein the conduit is positioned adjacent to the at least one liquid fuel component to direct the current of cool liquid to cool said at least one liquid fuel component.
