Noise Reduction Techniques for Forced Draft Fan in Thermal Power Plant using Absorptive Silencer

Abstract

Power station or power plants are industrial facility for electric power generation. Since the early advent of ‘steam engine’ technology and ample availability of coal and reliable cheap power, people all over the world heavily rely on thermal power stations, but Thermal power plants are one of the noisiest factories. However Prolong exposure to industrial noise can't be neglected, which may cause neurobehavioral change, psychological stress, and unhappiness in daily life without showing the symptoms of chronic / acute diseases. For Thermal power plants, the major noise sources are coal unloading plant, crusher plant, compressor, boiler feed pump, turbine, Forced Draft Fan (F.D. fan), Induced Draft Fan (I.D. fan etc. This paper aims to study different type of noise sources and Silencers used in Thermal power plants and also analyzes the noise source of Forced Draft Fan (F.D. fan) and reduce the noise by a modified absorptive Silencer or Muffler.
