Abstract:
A system includes a silencer baffle which mounts in a fluid conduit along a fluid flow path. The silencer baffle includes a first baffle section having first and second baffle portions which couple together laterally about a support structure extending between opposite sides of the fluid conduit.
Abstract:
An exhaust processing system that includes: an exhaust passageway for directing exhaust gases, the exhaust passageway having passageway walls that define and enclose the exhaust passageway between an upstream position and a downstream position; and an acoustic liner formed against and covering at least one of the passageway walls of the exhaust passageway. The acoustic liner may include uniformly configured modular acoustic blocks fitted against each other. The modular acoustic blocks each may include interior cavities having different lengths configured to dampen targeted sound frequencies.
Abstract:
A system includes a conduit having a fluid flow path and a silencer baffle disposed in a fluid conduit along the fluid flow path, where the silencer baffle has at least two of the plurality of baffle sections are coupled together via mating interlock structures.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, systems and program products for controlling a wet compression system. Methods according to the present disclosure can include: calculating a water droplet size at a nozzle of a nozzle grid of the WCS based on at least one condition from a set of WCS operating fluid conditions; calculating at least one GT system performance parameter based on the water droplet size and at least one distinct condition from the set of WCS operating fluid conditions; determining a target water flow rate based on the at least one GT system performance parameter and another distinct condition from the set of WCS operating fluid conditions; and adjusting a flow rate of a water flow to the nozzle based on the target water flow rate.
Abstract:
A baffle for an air intake section of a rotary machine includes a pair of oppositely disposed perforated walls that at least partially define an exterior of the baffle and an interior cavity of the baffle. The baffle also includes a pair of panels disposed within the interior cavity. Each of the panels is coupled proximate a respective one of the perforated walls, such that a chamber is defined between the panels. Each of the panels includes a first sound absorbing material that is substantially completely vaporizable at an operating temperature of the rotary machine.

Abstract:
A power system is provided. The power system includes a gas turbine assembly having a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine coupled in serial flow arrangement. The compressor has a compressor inlet. The power system also includes an electrostatic precipitation system coupled to the gas turbine assembly upstream from the compressor inlet. The compressor is oriented to receive working gases discharged from the electrostatic precipitation system to facilitate removing entrained matter from the working gases flowing into the compressor inlet.
Abstract:
A load coupling device includes a housing including an interior portion, an ambient air inlet provided in the housing, and a load coupling guard arranged in the housing. The load coupling guard includes a turbomachine end and a load end and a passage extending therebetween. A vent extends upwardly from the load coupling guard. The vent is fluidically exposed to the load end. An ambient air inlet passage is formed in the load coupling guard and fluidically connects the ambient air inlet and the vent. The load end is substantially fluidically isolated from the turbomachine end.
Abstract:
A hazardous gas monitoring system is provided. The hazardous gas monitoring system includes a panel including multiple sensing lines. Each sensing line is configured to receive and monitor an air sample. Each sensing line includes a water separator to remove condensed moisture, a coalescing filter disposed downstream of the water separator, and a flow and gas monitoring system disposed downstream of the coalescing filter. The hazardous gas monitoring system may be used to monitor the presence of hazardous gases within an enclosure, such as an enclosure for a turbomachine.
Abstract:
A liquid injection apparatus for use with a compressor having a rotor shaft and a casing part is provided. The liquid injection apparatus includes at least one conduit and at least one nozzle coupled to the conduit(s). The liquid injection apparatus is panel-shaped and has a first panel segment, a second panel segment, and at least one of: a passage defined between the first panel segment and the second panel segment, the passage sized to receive at least one of the rotor shaft and the casing part; and a third panel segment positioned between the first panel segment and the second panel segment. The third panel segment is at least in part detachable from the first panel segment and/or the second panel segment for receiving at least one of the rotor shaft and the casing part between the first panel segment and the second panel segment.
