NOISE MITIGATING COMPRESSOR
Methods and systems are provided for a noise mitigating device for a turbocharger compressor. In one example, the noise mitigating device includes a set of perforated rings arranged in a recirculation passage of a compressor casing treatment. The rings of the set of perforated rings may be oriented so that apertures of one ring are offset from apertures of one or more adjacent rings, forcing air to flow through the apertures via a non-linear path while deflecting at least a portion of sounds waves generated in the compressor.
Vehicle Charge Air Cooler with Resonator Chamber, and Engine Air Induction System
A vehicle charge air cooler of a vehicle engine air induction system. The vehicle engine air induction system could also be equipped with a turbocharger or a supercharger located upstream of the vehicle charge air cooler. The vehicle charge air cooler has an inlet housing. The inlet housing includes an inlet chamber and a resonator chamber. The inlet chamber and resonator chamber are partitioned from each other by way of a wall of the inlet housing. One or more additional walls define the inlet chamber and define the resonator chamber. The vehicle charge air cooler further has a heat exchanger.
INTAKE PASSAGE STRUCTURE FOR TURBOCHARGER-EQUIPPED ENGINE
An intake passage structure for a turbocharger-equipped engine (1) includes a supercharging passage (71) and an air relief passage (72) provided in a compressor case (21a). The air relief passage (72) has an air outflow port (72a) formed through an inner wall surface of an upstream portion (71a) of the supercharging passage (71) upstream of the compressor (21). A projecting member (91) projecting radially inward of a specific portion (90) is provided on a portion of an inner wall surface of the specific portion (90) in a circumferential direction of the inner wall surface. The specific portion (90) ranges from a downstream portion of an upstream intake passage (32) to a portion of the supercharging passage (71) upstream of the air outflow port (72a).
Compact gas turbine air inlet system
A system includes a modularized air inlet system. The modularized air inlet system includes an air filter house section configured to receive air via an air inlet. The modularized air inlet system also includes a transition/silencer section configured to direct the air from the modularized air inlet system, via an air outlet, into an air inlet plenum coupled to a gas turbine engine enclosure. The modularized air inlet system is configured to couple directly to the air inlet plenum and the gas turbine enclosure without an expansion joint disposed between the modularized air inlet system and the air inlet plenum.
Acoustic damper with barrier member configured to dampen acoustic energy propogating upstream in gas flow
An acoustic damper includes a housing with an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture. The housing is configured to receive a gas flow that enters via the inlet aperture and that exits via the outlet aperture. The acoustic damper also includes a barrier member that is disposed within the housing. The barrier member is configured to be disposed within the gas flow and to dampen acoustic energy that propagates in an upstream direction generally from the outlet aperture toward the inlet aperture. The barrier member includes an outer structure that defines an interior volume of the barrier member. The interior volume is oriented toward the outlet aperture.
Vehicle air duct for reducing intake noise
An air duct for a vehicle functions to reduce intake noise and includes an outer housing configured having a pipe shape so that outside air is introduced into an engine therethrough. The air duct also has an inner pipe fixed in the outer housing so that an outer surface of the inner pipe is spaced apart from an inner surface of the outer housing, thereby partitioning the inside of the outer housing in a radial direction. A space between the inner pipe and the outer housing communicates with the inside of the inner pipe.
LOW NOISE ENCLOSURE
Systems and apparatuses include an apparatus including an intake defined by an intake aperture, an intake baffle, and an intake floor structured to couple to an intake portion of an enclosure roof, the intake extending along at least eighty percent (80%) of a width of the apparatus on a first side, an exhaust defined by an exhaust aperture, an exhaust baffle, and an exhaust floor structured to couple to an exhaust portion of the enclosure roof, the exhaust extending along at least eighty percent (80%) of the width of the apparatus on a second side opposite the first side, a partition panel isolating the intake from the exhaust, and an engagement mechanism structured to couple the apparatus to a generator set.
Partition plate
A partition plate includes a main body and a plurality of protrusions. The main body is configured to be disposed in an intake passage of an engine partition the intake passage. The protrusions are provided at an end of the main body. The end is located toward a combustion chamber. Each protrusion is inclined relative to a width direction of the main body from an apex toward a base. The apex protrudes so as to be the closest toward the combustion chamber, and the base is the farthest from the combustion chamber.
Partition plate
A partition plate is configured to separate an intake passage formed by an intake pipe to be coupled to a combustion chamber into a first intake passage and a second intake passage. The first intake passage is openable and closable by a valve. A shape of a first cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the intake pipe is set on the basis of a shape of a surface of the intake pipe that faces the partition plate with the second intake passage interposed therebetween.
Silencer and Compressor
A silencer of a compressor for aspirating air to be compressed, with a housing having a front plate and a rear plate, a circumferential surface extending between the front plate and rear plate and bordering a suction area, via which the air can be aspirated, and a recess in the rear plate, via which the aspirated air can be supplied to the compressor. A flow-carrying metal component, in particular a wire component, is arranged in or adjacent to the suction area as a flame absorber.
