Abstract

In a silencer, holes are disposed in one row with intervals to each other along one direction, holes forming the one row are disposed in a plurality of rows in a direction perpendicular to the one direction, and positions of the holes in adjacent rows are shifted in the one direction and disposed in a zigzag pattern. A disposition interval of the holes of an outer edge hole row forming one row in at least two sides opposite to each other in the silencing porous plate is set to be larger than a disposition interval of the holes of a row inside the outer edge hole row.

Claims (20)

1. A silencer comprising:

a frame member which is provided to be perpendicular to a direction of a fluid passage in a duct in which a fluid flows and is assembled in a four-sided frame shape; and

a silencing porous plate in which an outer edge is fixed to the frame member and is configured of an approximately rectangular plate member having a plurality of holes formed thereon,

wherein the plurality of holes are disposed in one row with intervals to each other along one direction, the plurality of holes forming the one row are disposed in a plurality of rows in a direction perpendicular to the one direction, positions of the holes in adjacent rows are shifted in the one direction and disposed in a zigzag pattern, and

a disposition interval of the holes of an outer edge hole row forming one row in at least two sides opposite to each other in the silencing porous plate is set to be larger than a disposition interval of the holes of a row inside the outer edge hole row.

2. The silencer according to claim 1 , wherein

the one direction is the same as a direction of one side of the plate member, and

the outer edge hole row is set so that the disposition interval of the holes in an approximately center portion is set to be larger than the disposition interval of the holes in an end portion.

3. A rotating machine comprising the silencer according to claim 2 .

4. The silencer according to claim 1 , wherein

the one direction is the same as a direction of one side of the plate member, and

the disposition interval of the holes of the outer edge hole row is twice the disposition interval of the holes of the row inside the outer edge hole row.

5. A rotating machine comprising the silencer according to claim 4 .

6. The silencer according to claim 1 , wherein

the one direction is provided to be inclined from a direction of one side of the plate member, and the disposition interval of the holes of the outer edge hole row is set to be larger than the disposition interval of the holes of the row inside the outer edge hole row.

7. A rotating machine comprising the silencer according to claim 6 .

8. The silencer according to claim 6 ,

wherein the one direction is inclined at 15° from the direction of one side of the plate member.

9. A rotating machine comprising the silencer according to claim 8 .

10. A rotating machine comprising the silencer according to claim 1 .
