An expansion joint for use between a turbine duct and a diffuser duct includes a first flange coupled to the turbine duct, a second flange coupled to the diffuser duct, and a flexible element positioned between and coupled to the first flange of the turbine duct and the second flange of the diffuser duct. The flexible element defines a trough for receiving a liquid therein. The trough includes a drain pipe configured to channel the liquid away from the trough.

Expansion joint and methods of assembling the same

A silencer duct that may be part of, for example, a turbomachine inlet and may include a duct body, and a silencer element extending axially through the duct body. A first portion of a coupler may extend axially from a first side of the duct body. A second portion of a coupler may extend axially from a second side of the duct body. At least one of the first portion of the coupler and the second portion of the coupler are configured to couple to at least one of an adjacent silencer duct and an inlet.

Silencer duct having silencing element and couplers

A silencer panel includes an acoustic absorbing material; and an enclosure surrounding the acoustic absorbing material. The enclosure includes at least one plastic, perforated side wall.

Silencer panel and system having plastic perforated side wall

A silencer panel section may include an acoustic absorbing material, a first enclosure surrounding the acoustic absorbing material, and a first coupler configured to couple the first enclosure to a second enclosure of an adjacent silencer panel section. A silencer panel may employ a plurality of the sections coupled together to form a single silencer panel. A silencer duct may include a frame forming a working fluid flow path, and a plurality of silencer panel mounts positioned within the frame, each silencer panel mount configured to slidingly receive a silencer panel, such as the silencer panel described herein.
