Corrosion and Corrosion Control of Hush House Interiors.

Abstract

The interior of in-frame gas turbine test facilities, commonly referred to as hush houses, is constructed using galvanized steel box sections filled with fibrous acoustic material and covered with perforated galvanized steel plate. The exposed surfaces of the perforated plate have been found to be subject to corrosion at several hush houses. In this report the severity of the corrosion damage on both the perforated liner plate and the interior of the box sections was evaluated, and the corrosion was found to be not structurally serious at this time. Recommendations for removing trapped water from the interior sections, for preventing the ingress of additional water, and for cosmetically repairing existing corrosion damage were formulated and are presented.
