Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0316640A1] In order to silence low-frequency sound waves, which can arise in components of turbo-engines, the silencer proposed here consists of an inlet tube (1) through (3) and around (4) which a medium flows. At the end of the inlet tube (1) in the outlet flow direction this tube has a row of silencing holes (2), distributed around the circumference, through which the medium (4) flowing around the inlet tube (1) flows into the interior of the inlet tube (1). The effective length L of the inlet tube (1), the cross-sectional area A of the inlet tube (1), and the overall cross-sectional area B of the silencing holes (2) form the geometrical parameters for calculating optimum silencing of the low-frequency sound waves. <IMAGE>
