A gas turbine exhaust passage is realized which may suppress the radiation of
strong
ultra low frequency noise to the outside without amplifying the turbulence of an
high speed exhaust gas flow rate or a pressure pulsation generated in a gas turbine.
At least a portion of a wall of a gas turbine exhaust passage (3, 5) is
formed of an acoustically transmissive material (36, 56) for allowing a
low frequency noise of several tens of Hz or less to pass therethrough sufficiently.
Also, the acoustically transmissive material is made of one or more of a porous
material, a porous heat insulating material, a mesh having a large flow resistance,
cloth or film material. Further, the acoustically transmissive material is supported
by a porous plate or a frame. In a case where an acoustically transmissive material
is used only for an exhaust chimney (5), the exhaust chimney (5)
is supported by a rack (11). Further, a soundproof panel (12) may
be attached to the rack (11). Also, a damper provided at a branch portion
between an exhaust gas boiler branched from the gas turbine exhaust passage and
the gas turbine exhaust passage is formed of acoustically transmissive material
for allowing a low frequency noise of several tens of Hz or less to pass therethrough sufficiently.
