FIGS. 1 and 2 are front and side views, respectively, of aninlet plenum 2 for acompressor 4 that incorporates a first possible embodiment.FIG. 3 is a detailed side view of acavity 6 in awall 8 of theinlet plenum 2 according to the first possible embodiment. Referring toFIGS. 1 through 3 together, thewall 8 of theinlet plenum 2 may have one ormore cavities 6, such as the twocavities 6 shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Eachcavity 6 penetrates aninner surface 10 of thewall 8 and circumscribes theinner surface 10 generally transversely to anair flow path 12 between amouth 14 of theinlet plenum 2 and thecompressor 4. - The
compressor 4 generates acoustic shock waves that propagate from thecompressor 4 opposite the direction of theair flow path 12 out of themouth 14 of theinlet plenum 2 into the ambient air. The content of such acoustic shock waves comprises a combination of broadband noise and compressor blade passing frequencies. As the acoustic shock waves propagate toward themouth 14, they generateconstructive interference peaks 16 at various points along theinner surface 10 of thewall 8. Attenuation of these constructive interference peaks 16 result in a far lower level of noise due to the acoustic shock waves that emanate from themouth 14 of theinlet plenum 8. - The positions of the
cavities 6 are generally coincident with at least some of theconstructive interference peaks 16. It is possible to determine the positions of theconstructive interference peaks 16 by empirical measurement or acoustic optimising software, such as the acoustic optimising software known as “COMSOL”. Thecavities 6 act as acoustic traps by means of reactive phase cancellation of at least the predominant wavelength of the acoustic shock waves at their respectiveconstructive interference peaks 16. - To secure such reactive phase cancellation, the
width 18 of eachcavity 6 betweenside surfaces 20 of thecavity 6 along the direction of theair flow 12 is less than or equal to the predominant wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16 to form an effective band pass filter, and thedepth 22 of eachcavity 6 between theinner surface 10 and abottom surface 24 of thecavity 6 generally perpendicular to the direction of theair flow 12 approximates a multiple of the predominant wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16 to achieve reactive phase cancellation at such wavelength. InFIG. 3 , thewidth 18 is approximately one half wavelength and thedepth 22 is approximately one quarter wavelength. For instance, if thecompressor 4 generates a blade passing frequency of approximately 12,000 Hz, and this frequency corresponds to the predominant wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16, which at sea level and an ambient air temperature of approximately 68 degrees Fahrenheit the speed of sound is approximately 1126 feet per second and the wavelength would be approximately 1 and ⅛ inch, thewidth 18 would be approximately 9/16 inch and thedepth 22 would be approximately 9/32 inch. - It is possible for the
constructive interference peaks 16 to correspond to different wavelengths as the acoustic shock waves propagate from thecompressor 4 toward themouth 14 of theinlet plenum 2. Therefore, eachcavity 6 along thewall 8 may have adifferent width 18 anddepth 22 to correspond to a different predominant wavelength of the acoustic shock waves. - It is possible to form the
cavities 6 in thewall 8 in different ways.FIG. 3 shows the formation of thecavity 6 by means of corrugation of thewall 8. Such corrugation may be achievable by various means, such as by stamping or moulding.FIG. 4 is a detailed side view of a second possible embodiment that is similar to the first embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , but the formation of thecavity 6 is by means of indentation of theinner surface 10 of thewall 8. Such indentation may be achievable by various means, such as moulding, machining, embossing or incising theinner surface 10 of thewall 8. - The
side surfaces 20 of eachcavity 6 may be generally parallel to each other, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 . Alternatively, to achieve acoustic impedance matching or to broaden attenuation band pass, theside surfaces 20 of eachcavity 6 may be non-parallel to each other.FIG. 5 is a detailed side view of a third possible embodiment that is similar to the first embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , but one of theside surfaces 20 of thecavity 6 has a cant to be non-parallel to theother side surface 20. Similarly,FIG. 6 is a detailed side view of a fourth possible embodiment that is also similar to the first embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , but wherein bothside surfaces 20 have a cant and non-parallel to each other. - Acoustic damping material may at least partially fill each
cavity 6 for the purpose of broadening its attenuation band pass or increasing its effective wavelength.FIG. 7 is a detailed side view of a fifth possible embodiment that is similar to the first embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , but an acoustic damping material 26 fills thecavity 6. -
FIG. 8 is a detailed side view of a fifth possible embodiment wherein thedepth 22 of thecavity 6 is a full wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16. Furthermore, theside surfaces 20 of thecavity 6 both have cants to be nonparallel to each other. Thewidth 18 of thecavity 6 is approximately one half wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16 at thebottom side 24 of thecavity 6. -
FIG. 9 is a detailed side view of a sixth possible embodiment wherein both thewidth 18 and thedepth 22 of thecavity 6 is approximately a full wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16.FIG. 10 is a detailed side view of a seventh possible embodiment that is similar to the sixth possible embodiment shown inFIG. 9 , except that the acoustic damping material 26 fills a portion of thecavity 6.FIG. 10 shows a depth 28 of the acoustic damping material 26 that approximates one quarter wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16.FIG. 11 is a detailed side view of an eight possible embodiment that is similar to the third possible embodiment wherein thewidth 18 of thecavity 6 is approximately a full wavelength and the depth of thecavity 6 is approximately one quarter wavelength of the respectiveconstructive interference peak 16. Anair flow deflector 30 extends along a portion of thewidth 18 of thecavity 6 from theupstream side surface 20 of thecavity 6 along theinner surface 10 of thewall 8 that partially covers thecavity 6. The air flow deflector minimises any turbulence from air that travels through theair flow path 12. - The described embodiments as set forth herein represents only some illustrative implementations of the invention as set forth in the attached claims. Changes and substitutions of various details and arrangement thereof are within the scope of the claimed invention.
