Zusammenfassung:An inlet bleed heat system in a gas turbine includes a compressor discharge extraction manifold that extracts compressor discharge air, an inlet bleed heat manifold receiving the compressor discharge air, and a plurality of acoustic dispersion nozzles disposed at an output end of the inlet bleed heat manifold that reduce a velocity of the compressor discharge air in the inlet bleed heat manifold. Noise is generated from the shearing action between the surrounding atmosphere and air jets from orifices. When the air jet velocity is slowed using, for example, a multi-stage ejector/mixer, noise can be abated.
