Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2063130A1] Noise damper for a radial (centrifugal) compressor, to be either integrally formed in the compressor housing or provided as a pipe section piece to be mounted on one of the housing nozzles. The damper consists of one or more side resonators, possibly of the Helmholtz-type. The side resonators may be arranged in series in the flow direction. A simple, modular and cost-effective construction of the damper consists in juxtaposing rings (diaphragms, discs) having concentric outer diameters but inner contours that are not necessarily circular and that differ from each other. The resonator cavities then result from adjacent rings having different inner contours. These contours can be circles of different diameters, possibly eccentric, triangles, squares, or a circumferential array of radially staggered tubes. A self-cleaning mechanism by injection of liquid may be added to the damper. The cleaning liquid may be recuperated by a gas scrubber provided upstream of the compressor.
