Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind tunnel testing technology, specifically relating to a noise reduction module suitable for low-temperature operating conditions. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale cryogenic equipment continuously discharges nitrogen gas during testing. The exhaust noise must meet three standards: the Hygienic Standard for Industrial Enterprise Design (GBZ1-2002), the Emission Standard for Environmental Noise at the Boundary of Industrial Enterprises (GB12348-2008), and the Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Therefore, a silencing module needs to be installed in the exhaust silencer to reduce exhaust noise, control the intensity of environmental noise pollution, and meet environmental protection requirements.
[0003] The nitrogen exhaust temperature of large-scale cryogenic equipment ranges from 110K to 323K. During cryogenic operation, the temperature of the exhaust nitrogen gas stream is extremely low. Conventional sound-absorbing materials will frost or even freeze in low-temperature environments, reducing the sound absorption performance of the silencer. In addition, because minimal exhaust pressure loss is required during normal pressure operation, sintered metal wire mesh cannot be used as a noise reduction measure.
[0004] Therefore, there are currently no suitable noise reduction products on the market that can achieve noise reduction under wide temperature alternation and low pressure loss conditions. There is an urgent need to develop a noise reduction module suitable for low temperature conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, the micro-perforated plate II divides the standard sound-absorbing sheet unit into left and right parts, facing the incoming flow, with the left side having a thickness of 120mm and the right side having a thickness of 80mm.
