  • Modular resonators for suppressing combustion instabilities in gas turbine power plants
    Patent number: 6530221
    Abstract: A resonator module for a combustion turbine power plant, where the combustion turbine power plant defines a flow path. The resonator module includes a first member, an a second member. The first member has a size substantially smaller than the diameter of said flow path and a plurality of openings therethrough. The openings are in fluid communication with the flow path. The second member has a size generally equal to said first member.
