Abstract

An intake silencer of a gas turbine capable of efficient noise reduction in which a high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters capable of reducing highfrequency component noise and a middle/low sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters capable of reducing middle/low frequency component noise are disposed separately in a gas flow direction. High frequency component noise is reduced by the high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group, and middle/low frequency component noise is reduced by the middle/low sound-absorbing splitter group.

Claims (6)

1. An intake silencer for a gas turbine disposed in a sealed flow path of an intake of a gas turbine and configured by a sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of panel-shaped sound-absorbing splitters including a sound-absorbing material therein disposed in parallel along a gas flow direction, wherein

a high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters that reduces high-frequency component noise of a frequency level centered on 2 kHz, each of said high frequency sound-absorbing splitters being 5 centimeters in width and a gap between a pair of adjacent high frequency sound-absorbing splitters being 5 centimeters, and

a middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters that reduces middle to low frequency component noise of equal to or below 1 kHz, each of said middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitters being 20 centimeters in width and a gap between a pair of adjacent middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitters being 30 centimeters, and

said high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group and said middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitter group are disposed separately in the gas flow direction.

2. The intake silencer for a gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group is disposed on an upstream side in the gas flow direction, and the middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitter group is disposed on a downstream side of the high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group.

3. The intake silencer for a gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the middle to low frequency sound-absorbing splitter group is disposed on an upstream side in the gas flow direction, and the high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group is disposed on a downstream side of the middle/low sound-absorbing splitter group.
