Sound enclosures for gas turbines

Details

Published: 04 November 2016

Energy production based on the use of gas turbines (in single cycle or in combined cycle), is widely used in countries without a highly developed nuclear power plant fleet.

Such power stations make possible to have large production capacities within a relatively short period of time in order to satisfy the growing needs of the populations.

In many cases, these facilities base the very existence of the electrical network of regions or countries.

In other cases, gas-fired power stations are used...

Soundproofing canopies for compressors and turbines

Details

Published: 04 October 2016

In an industrial plant, a compressor and turbines are very powerful noise sources potentially causing sound nuisance for personnel of the operator operating in the vicinity as well as for the neighborhood. It is often necessary to use in such cases a soundproofing equipment of high technology to ensure compliance of the installation on the one hand with respect to the legislation on noise at work and on the other hand with respect to the regulation in terms of environmental protection. In...

Diminution of noise emitted by two combustion turbines

Details

Published: 04 September 2016

In a power plant with combustion turbines (gas turbines), some airborne noise is emitted by the various subsets making up each turbomachinery (in addition to noise emissions associated with the mouths for air intake and exhaust not included in the current project, although regularly studied and subject of simulation and design work by ITS as part of other projects in the field of energy production):

• the turbine compartment i.e. compressors, combustion chamber, turbine
• the auxiliary...
