Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Swiss application number No. 00955/05, filed 7 Jun. 2005, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a silencer for a flow passage of a turbomachine, in particular of a power plant.
- 2. Brief Description of the Related Art
- A turbomachine, such as, for example, a turbine or a compressor of a turboset, in particular of a power plant, can develop disturbing noises during operation. These noises can spread into the environment of the turbomachine through the flow passages of the turbomachine, which, for example, feed fresh air to the compressor or discharge exhaust gases from the turbine. In order to reduce the noise emission into the environment, it is conventional practice to arrange a silencer of the aforementioned type in the flow passage. Such a silencer normally has a plurality of walls which are arranged in the flow passage, extend parallel to a gas flow directed in the flow passage and are spaced apart transversely to the direction of the gas flow. In this way, the gas flow is passed through between the walls, in the course of which a tangential flow occurs around the walls. The walls are designed to absorb airborne noise. As a result, airborne noise which spreads within the gas flow in the flow passage is correspondingly damped when passing through the silencer.
- So that the walls absorb airborne noise, they can be provided, for example, with a perforated outer skin which encloses a damper material absorbing airborne noise. The airborne noise entrained in the gas flow enters the damper material through the perforated outer skin and is damped as a result.
- During operation of the turbomachine, a change in the physical properties of the wall absorbing airborne noise may occur in the course of time. For example, deposits of dirt on the outer skin and in the damper material occur. As a result, firstly the airborne-noise permeability of the outer skin may be impaired. Secondly, the damping capacity of the damper material may be impaired. Since relatively large volumetric flows are directed through the respective flow passage during operation of turbomachines, dynamic pressure changes may occur between the walls. It has been found that in silencers which are in operation for a prolonged period, e.g. for 1 to 2 years, vibrations may be excited in the walls by these pressure changes. This is attributed to the change in the physical properties of the walls which is explained above and occurs in the course of time. These vibrations of the walls are transmitted to the respective flow passage, so that an increasing vibration tendency of the walls puts the reliable operation of the turbomachine at risk.
- One aspect of the present invention deals with the problem of specifying, for a silencer of the aforementioned type, an improved embodiment in which, in particular, a vibration tendency is also reduced during prolonged operation.
- Another aspect of the present invention generally includes providing the walls with connecting passages which pass through the walls transversely to the direction of flow. At each wall, the two outer sides facing away from one another and exposed to the gas flow are connected to one another in a communicating manner by these connecting passages. In this way, pressure differences between these two outer sides can be balanced through the connecting passages. In this case, the invention uses the knowledge that the vibration excitation of the respective wall can be attributed to pressure differences at their outer sides. The driving force for the vibration excitation of the walls is reduced by balancing these pressure differences. As a result, the vibration excitation and vibration tendency of the walls also decreases.
- Further important features and advantages of the silencer according to the invention follow from the drawings and the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawings.
- Preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below, the same designations corresponding to identical or similar or functionally identical components. In the drawings, in each case schematically:
-
FIG. 1 shows a greatly simplified, diagrammatic side view of a silencer according to the invention arranged in a flow passage, -
FIG. 2 shows a greatly simplified, diagrammatic plan view of the silencer, -
FIG. 3 shows an enlarged sectional illustration through a wall of the silencer in the region of a connecting passage. - According to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , asilencer 1 embodying principles of the present invention includes a plurality ofwalls 2 which are arranged in aflow passage 3 of a turbomachine (otherwise not shown), preferably of a power plant. Here, by way of example, theindividual walls 2 each extend in one plane. Theindividual walls 2 extend parallel to one another and are also oriented in parallel in theflow passage 3 relative to agas flow 4 which is directed in theflow passage 3 and is indicated here by arrows. Furthermore, thewalls 2 are spaced apart transversely to the direction of thegas flow 4, that is to say transversely to a longitudinal direction of theflow passage 3. A tangential flow around thewalls 2 is therefore produced during operation of the respective turbomachine. - In this case,
intermediate spaces 5 are formed betweenadjacent walls 2. Suchintermediate spaces 5 are also obtained between the twoouter walls 2 andadjacent passage walls 6, provided the outer walls—as here—are arranged at a distance from thepassage walls 6 transversely to the direction of flow. - The
walls 2 of thesilencer 1 are configured in such a way that they act to absorb airborne noise. According toFIG. 3 , this is achieved, for example, by therespective wall 2 containing adamper material 7 in its interior, thisdamper material 7 acting so as to absorb airborne noise. Thedamper material 7 used may be, for example, mineral wool or a foam plastic, preferably open-pored foam plastic, or any other suitable material. Furthermore, therespective wall 2 has anouter skin 8 which is permeable to airborne noise and encloses thedamper material 7. The airborne-noise permeability of theouter skin 8 may be achieved, for example, by perforation (not shown here) of theouter skin 8. Theouter skin 8 preferably consists of a metallic sheet, in particular a metallic perforated sheet. The perforation of theouter skin 8 is formed in the case of the perforated sheet by the respective hole pattern. - The
walls 2, shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 and arranged side by side with respect to the direction of the gas flow, form a wall group (not designated in any more detail). It is clear that thesilencer 1 may also have a plurality of such wall groups, which are then arranged one behind the other in theflow passage 3 with respect to the direction of thegas flow 4. - According to another principle of the present invention, at least one of these
walls 2 is now provided with at least one connectingpassage 9. In the exemplary embodiment shown, eachwall 2 is provided with a plurality of such connectingpassages 9. Eachpassage 9 passes through therespective wall 2 transversely to the direction of thegas flow 4, that is to say transversely to the respective wall plane. In addition, each connectingpassage 9 is designed in such a way that it makes possible a pressure balance between the twointermediate spaces 5 separated from one another by therespective wall 2. To this end, the connectingpassages 9 are preferably open on both sides. In principle, however, an embodiment is also possible in which the respective connectingpassage 9 is closed by at least one vibratory diaphragm, which, on account of its elasticity, likewise makes possible a pressure balance, at least as far as dynamic pressure fluctuations are concerned. - The connecting
passages 9 in thewalls 2 therefore enable pressure fluctuations which may occur between theintermediate spaces 5 separated from one another by thewalls 2 to be balanced. By these pressure fluctuations being balanced, pressure-force differences which act on longitudinal sides orouter sides 10, facing away from one another, of thewalls 2 are reduced. This leads to a reduction in the vibration tendency of thewalls 2. - The pressure balance which can take place between the intermediate spaces, separated from one another by the
respective wall 2, due to the connectingpassages 9 is symbolized inFIG. 2 byarrows 14 which extend through the respectivelongitudinal passage 9 parallel to its longitudinal direction. - As can be seen from
FIGS. 1 and 2 , theindividual connecting passages 9 inside therespective wall 2 may be arranged, for example, side by side transversely to the direction of thegas flow 4, that is to say one above the other inFIG. 1 . Additionally or alternatively, theindividual connecting passages 9 may also be arranged one behind the other in the direction of thegas flow 4. In this case, the distribution of theindividual connecting passages 9 inside therespective wall 2 is selected, for example, as a function of the pulsation centers to be expected of the pressure fluctuations which possibly occur. The distribution of the connectingpassages 9 which is shown here is therefore purely exemplary. In particular, the distribution of the connectingpassages 9 may vary at theindividual walls 2. - In the exemplary embodiments shown here, the connecting
passages 9 each have a circular cross section. It is clear here that the connectingpassages 9 may in principle have any desired cross section. The connectingpassages 9 are expediently dimensioned here in such a way that their cross section has aclear width 11 which is in a ratio of between 0.5 to 1.5 with respect to awall thickness 12 of therespective wall 2. However, the variant shown here, in which theclear width 11 is approximately the same size as thewall thickness 12, is preferred. - According to
FIG. 3 , the respective connectingpassage 9 passes through theouter skin 8 on bothouter sides 10 and through thedamper material 7. The connectingpassage 9 shown here is lined by acasing 13 transversely to its longitudinal axis, which is perpendicular to the respective wall plane. The respective connectingpassage 9 is separated from thedamper material 7 and from theouter skin 8 by thiscasing 13. Said casing 13 is expediently fastened to theouter skin 8, e.g., pressed into place therein or brazed or welded thereto. - The
flow passage 3 is preferably a fresh-air passage which directs a fresh-air flow to an inlet of the respective turbomachine, which is preferably a compressor of a turboset. In principle, theflow passage 3 may also be an exhaust-gas passage which directs an exhaust-gas flow away from an outlet of the respective turbomachine, which is a turbine of a turboset for example.List of designations 1 Silencer 2 Wall 3 Flow passage 4 Gas flow 5 Intermediate space 6 Passage wall 7 Damper material 8 Outer skin 9 Connecting passage 10 Outer side of 2 11 Clear width of 9 12 Wall thickness of 2 13 Casing 14 Pressure balance - While the invention has been described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes can be made, and equivalents employed, without departing from the scope of the invention. The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to enable one skilled in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the claims appended hereto, and their equivalents.
