Abstract

In a damping device according to the present invention, a damping device 63 is mounted on a bypass pipe 61 that supplies an amount of high-pressure air to a combustor transition piece 33 . The damping device 63 includes a fluid introducing unit 71 that forms a fluid introduction space B by covering an outer peripheral portion of the bypass pipe 61 , a plurality of acoustic boxes 73 a and 73 b that forms resonance spaces Da and Db with the base portions connected to the fluid introducing unit 71 and the end portions extending along the outer peripheral portion of the bypass pipe 61 in the circumferential direction, and partition plates 74 a and 74 b that form resonance ducts Ea and Eb of a predetermined length by partitioning the resonance spaces Da and Db.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A damping device comprising:
a pipe having an outer peripheral portion, the outer peripheral portion defining a flow passage through which fluid flows and being provided with a plurality of through holes;
a fluid introducing unit including a ring shaped structure so as to cover at least a part of the outer peripheral portion of the pipe so that a fluid introduction space introduces therein the fluid from the flow passage via the plurality of through holes and is defined between the fluid introducing unit and the at least part of the outer peripheral portion of the pipe;
a branch pipe connected to the fluid introducing unit, the branch pipe defining a communication passage in communication with the fluid introduction space;
an acoustic box having a hollow box shape and being connected to the fluid introduction unit via the branch pipe, wherein
the acoustic box comprising:
a right-side acoustic box defining a right-side resonance space in communication with the communication passage, the right-side acoustic box including a first right-side portion extending toward a right side with respect to a longitudinal direction of the pipe and a second right-side portion being in continuation from the first right-side portion;
a left-side acoustic box defining a left-side resonance space in communication with the communication passage, the left-side acoustic box including a first left-side portion extending toward a left side with respect to the longitudinal direction of the pipe and a second left-side portion being in continuation from the first left-side portion;
a plurality of right-side partition plates provided in the second right-side portion, for partitioning the right-side resonance space so as to define a right-side resonance duct having a predetermined length in accordance with combustion frequencies; and
a plurality of left-side partition plates provided in the second left-side portion, for partitioning the left-side resonance space so as to define a left-side resonance duct having a predetermined length in accordance with combustion frequencies, and
wherein each of the second right-side portion and the second left-side portion is separated from the fluid introducing units,
wherein an uppermost portion of the first right-side portion is in contact with an uppermost portion of the first left-side portion to form a peak portion along the pipe,
wherein each of the right-side acoustic box and the left-side acoustic box has an L-shape to be along circumferential direction of the pipe, the L-shapes being configured by the first right-side portion and the second right-side portion and by the first left-side portion and the second left-side portion respectively,
wherein each of the second right-side portion and the second left-side portion extend in a vertical direction and face opposite sides of the pipe,
wherein the second right-side portion is spaced apart from a right-side of the pipe and parallel to the circumferential direction of the pipe, and
wherein the second left-side portion is spaced apart from a left-side of the pipe and parallel to the circumferential direction of the pipe.

2. The damping device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of right-side partition plates are alternately provided on opposite wall surfaces of the second right-side portion, and
the plurality of left-side partition plates are alternately provided on opposite wall surfaces of the second left-side portion.

3. The damping device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of resonance ducts, including the left-side resonant duct and the right-side resonant duct, set at different lengths.

4. The damping device according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of resonance ducts are formed by communicably connecting an end portion of each of the plurality of resonance ducts with the fluid introduction space by connecting an end portion of the right-side acoustic box and an end portion of the left-side acoustic box to the fluid introducing unit through a connection pipe, and by fixing a closing plate at a middle portion of at least one of the plurality of resonance ducts in a longitudinal direction.

5. The damping device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of resonance ducts defined by a plurality of independent resonance ducts, including the left-side resonant duct and the right-side resonant duct, each divided with a partition wall that divides the pipe in an axial direction of the pipe, and includes an opening for communicably connecting the plurality of resonance ducts or a closing plate that closes the opening.

6. The damping device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of resonance ducts, including the left-side resonant duct and the right-side resonant duct, and the plurality of resonance ducts includes a resistance member that provides resistance to fluid.

7. A gas turbine combustor comprising:
a combustion cylinder in which high-pressure air and fuel are combusted to generate combustion gas;
a transition piece that is connected to the combustion cylinder and that guides the combustion gas to a turbine;
a high-pressure combustion air supply passage that supplies high-pressure air to be used for combustion to the combustion cylinder;
a fuel nozzle that injects fuel into high-temperature air in the combustion cylinder; and
a bypass pipe that supplies high-pressure air to the transition piece, wherein the bypass pipe includes the damping device according to claim 1 and wherein a pipe is the bypass pipe.
