Ventilation system for acoustic enclosures for combustion turbines and air breathing heat engines

摘要

A ventilating system for adjusting temperature within acoustic enclosures for combustion turbines and other engines. The ventilating system includes a duct in flow communication with an inlet opening of the acoustic enclosure. A heat exchanger connected to a source of coolant, such as an absorption refrigeration system, is installed in the ventilating duct and changes the temperature of air passing through the ventilating duct. A blower causes air within the ventilating duct to pass over the heat exchanger and then into the enclosure through its inlet opening. As the air continues to pass through the enclosure and out of an enclosure outlet opening, the temperature within the enclosure around the engine is adjusted.
