Abstract
An ion gas injection and reclamation system including a heat exchanger fluidly coupled with at least one flow passage; a re-valence/recirculator fluidly coupled with the at least one flow passage; an ion fluid reclaimer fluidly coupled with the re-valence/recirculator; and an injection gas comprising at least one ion fluid constituent fluidly coupled with at least one of the re-valence/recirculator, the ion gas reclaimer and the at least one flow passage.
Claims20
An ion gas injection and reclamation system comprising:
- a heat exchanger fluidly coupled with at least one flow passage;
- a re-valence/recirculator fluidly coupled with the at least one flow passage;
- an ion fluid reclaimer fluidly coupled with the re-valence/recirculator;
- and
- an injection gas comprising at least one ion fluid constituent fluidly coupled with at least one of the re-valence/recirculator, the ion gas reclaimer and the at least one flow passage.
A gas turbine engine heat exchanger with associated ion gas injection and reclamation system comprising:
- the gas turbine engine heat exchanger fluidly coupled with at least one flow passage;
- a re-valence/recirculator fluidly coupled with the at least one flow passage;
- a reclaimer fluidly coupled with the re-valence/recirculator;
