Superheater in a Dual-Fluid Engine
International Power Technology was founded in October 1974 on the basis of a core of technology which has grown and evolved continuously since then. IPT has developed technological know-how in optimized steam-injected gas turbine engines and their subsequent development into high-efficiency generation and cogeneration cycles. Below is a summary of the IPT developed patents that were a part of those technology advancement efforts.
