Embodiment Construction

[0012] Embodiments of the present invention provide naturally ventilated power plant equipment enclosures utilizing natural convection as opposed to forced convection. The enclosure is designed to limit the transmission of acoustic energy generated by the device while maintaining a thermal condition suitable for operation of the device. In one embodiment, the housing includes a ventilation inlet near the bottom of the housing and a ventilation outlet near the top of the housing. The inlet may be provided on or near the base, or at or near the bottom of the side walls of the housing. The outlet may be located on the top wall of the housing or near the top of the side walls of the housing. In one embodiment, the outlet may be located at the top of the sloped top wall to drive maximum buoyancy airflow through the enclosure. If the outlet is not provided on the top of the housing, eg for clogging reasons, or because it is desired to use the top of the housing as a storage area, ...

Abstract

An enclosure having a top and at least one side to surround equipment is disclosed. The enclosure includes a first set of ventilation ports disposed toward the bottom of the enclosure, a second set of ventilation ports disposed toward the top of the enclosure, and a baffle disposed proximate the top at the interior of the enclosure. The top of the opening of the first set of ventilation ports is disposed to be lower than the bottom of the equipment, the bottom of the opening of the second set of ventilation ports is disposed to be higher than the top of the equipment, and the baffle is configured to direct a cooling medium toward the second set of ventilation ports.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to enclosures for equipment, and in particular to enclosures surrounding equipment in power plants. Background technique [0002] Power generating equipment, such as gas turbines, can generate enormous acoustic energy (noise) during operation. Therefore, depending on the needs of state agencies or power station operators, it is common practice to enclose such equipment in sound-proof enclosures to dampen or prevent the transmission of sound energy to the surrounding environment. In addition to sound energy, many types of power generating equipment also generate significant amounts of heat. When the equipment is located indoors, a means is required to dissipate the heat to the outside of the building and maintain specific thermal operating conditions. Currently, enclosures utilize blowers to drive cooling air through the enclosure to remove heat generated by the equipment contained within the enclosure. Typical...
