Abstract
The invention relates to a damper for reducing the pulsations in a chamber of a gas turbine. The damper includes a resonator cavity and a neck in flow communication with the resonator cavity and the chamber. The neck includes a mouth to communicate with the chamber. The air flow inside the chamber flows across the mouth of the neck. The neck is so configured that the longitudinal axis of its mouth is angled 0-90° relative to the direction of the air flow inside the chamber. The damper of this invention may effectively alleviate the detrimental effect of the grazing flow and thus it enables the placement of the damper also at locations where strong grazing flows are present.
