Silencer Module For A Generator Collector Ventilation System And Method Of Reducing A Sound Signature Of A Generator Collector
US Patent:
2013003, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Aug 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/208466
Inventors:
Richard Lynn Loud - Ballston Spa NY, US
Albert Eugene Steinbach - Schenectady NY, US
Etienne Mangin - Belfort, FR
Albert Eugene Steinbach - Schenectady NY, US
Etienne Mangin - Belfort, FR
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H02K 5/24
US Classification:
310 51
Abstract:
A generator collector ventilation system includes a ventilation inlet duct formed in a support foundation. The ventilation inlet duct has a first end that extends to a second end. The second end is configured and disposed to direct ventilation fluid into a generator collector housing. A ventilation outlet duct is formed in the support foundation. The ventilation outlet duct includes a first end portion that extends to a second end portion. The second end portion is configured and disposed to direct ventilation fluid from the generator collector housing. A silencer module is arranged in one of the ventilation inlet duct and the ventilation outlet duct. The silencer module is configured and disposed to condition the ventilation fluid passing through the generator collector housing to lower an overall noise signature of the generator collector ventilation system.
Balancing Power Plant Sound
US Patent:
2014001, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 10, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/545669
Inventors:
Richard Lynn Loud - Ballston Spa NY, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H03G 3/20, G10K 11/16
US Classification:
381 57
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the invention include systems, computer program products, and related methods for managing power plant acoustics. In various embodiments, a system is disclosed including at least one computing device configured to perform the following: determine a difference between an A-weighted sound decibel (dBA) level and a C-weighted sound decibel (dBC) level (Δ dBC-dBA) from a power plant system within a sound spectrum; compare the Δ dBC-dBA with a predetermined threshold difference for the sound spectrum; and provide instructions to increase the dBA level of a balancing sound in the spectrum proximate the power plant system in response to determining the Δ dBC-dBA exceeds the predetermined threshold difference.
Masking Of Pure Tones Within Sound From A Noise Generating Source
US Patent:
2010027, Oct 28, 2010
Filed:
Apr 22, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/428071
Inventors:
Richard Lynn Loud - Ballston Spa NY, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H04R 3/02
US Classification:
381 731
Abstract:
A method and system for masking pure tones within sound generated from a noise generating source. The method includes detecting one or more pure tones within sound being generated from the noise generating source, and generating one or more masking sounds capable of masking only the one or more pure tones detected within the sound.
Ventilation System And Method For Assembling The Same
US Patent:
2009022, Sep 3, 2009
Filed:
Mar 3, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/041465
Inventors:
Richard Lynn Loud - Ballston Spa NY, US
Carlos Andres Rodriguez - Albany NY, US
Timothy Andrew Melsert - Ballston Lake NY, US
Carlos Andres Rodriguez - Albany NY, US
Timothy Andrew Melsert - Ballston Lake NY, US
International Classification:
F01D 1/02, B23P 11/00
US Classification:
415206, 29428
Abstract:
A method for assembling a ventilation system is provided. The method includes providing a ventilation hood that includes a cover portion and a discharge portion extending from the cover portion. The cover portion includes a first aperture, an opposite second aperture, and a cavity therein, wherein an interior of the discharge portion is in flow communication with the cover portion cavity. The method also includes coupling a rotatable member at least partially within the ventilation hood, such that the rotatable member extends at least partially through at least one of the first and second apertures, and such that rotation of the rotatable member induces a windage-driven flow of fluid between a portion of the rotatable member and at least one of the first and second apertures.

International Classification:
E04F 17/04, F01N 1/24
US Classification:
181224, 181222
Abstract:
Methods and devices for increasing the sound attenuation properties of a noise suppression device are provided. In some embodiments, a sound attenuating conduit has an improved shape that provides increased sound attenuation properties. In other embodiments, the sound attenuating conduits are stacked together, and shaped to increase the air flow cross-section. Still other embodiments provide machinery that includes the improved sound attenuating conduits.
