Abstract:
An acoustic treatment assembly includes a fluid passage and a first panel disposed within the fluid passage. Additionally, at least a portion of a fluid flow through the acoustic treatment assembly is configured to flow across a first micro-perforated surface of the first panel. Further, the first panel includes at least one module, and each module of the at least one module includes the first micro-perforated surface and a respective back surface offset from the first micro-perforated surface opposite the fluid flow across the first micro-perforated surface. The first micro-perforated surface and the back surface form a first cavity configured to promote resonance within a first frequency range of the fluid flow.
Abstract:
A hybrid turbomachine enclosure includes a plurality of walls interconnected to form an interior configured and disposed to receive a turbomachine, the plurality of walls including a first wall having a panel on frame construction and a hybrid wall including a first portion having a panel on frame structure and a second portion having a stiffened frame panel structure.
Abstract:
A silencer panel includes an acoustic absorbing material; and an enclosure surrounding the acoustic absorbing material. The enclosure includes at least one plastic, perforated side wall.
Abstract:
A silencer panel section may include an acoustic absorbing material, a first enclosure surrounding the acoustic absorbing material, and a first coupler configured to couple the first enclosure to a second enclosure of an adjacent silencer panel section. A silencer panel may employ a plurality of the sections coupled together to form a single silencer panel. A silencer duct may include a frame forming a working fluid flow path, and a plurality of silencer panel mounts positioned within the frame, each silencer panel mount configured to slidingly receive a silencer panel, such as the silencer panel described herein.
Abstract:
An inlet bleed heat (IBH) system manifold for a compressor inlet housing is provided. The manifold includes: a plurality of feed pipes for delivering a compressor discharge air, each feed pipe extending across a duct of the compressor inlet housing. Each feed pipe includes: an elongated inner feed pipe for delivering the compressor discharge air, the inner feed pipe including a plurality of orifices along at least a portion of a length of the inner feed pipe, each orifice extending through a wall of the inner feed pipe allowing the compressor discharge air to exit the inner feed pipe; and a noise attenuating material disposed about the inner feed pipe and the plurality of orifices, the noise attenuating material configured to attenuate noise created by the compressor discharge air exiting the plurality of orifices.
