Abstract

See full text

An exhaust plume control structure includes a mounting member configured to mount to an exhaust flow source. A diverter member is coupled to the mounting member to radially direct an initial exhaust flow exiting from the exhaust flow source radially outward. A plurality of peripherally spaced, radially extending vanes are coupled to the mounting member and radially outward of the diverter member to separate the radially outward directed initial exhaust flow into a plurality of additional exhaust flows. Each vane has a radially diverging cross-section. Each of the plurality of additional exhaust flows has a same radial exit velocity. The structure reduces exhaust flow velocity and may provide back pressure to the initial exhaust flow. The structure has a sound power level of less than 115 dBA. A power generating plant including the structure is also disclosed.
