<p>The acoustical gas flow silencer field, e.g. heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, engine intakes and exhausts, process blowers and compressors, etc. In the prior art, silencers were constructed using an absorbtive material, which was both expensive and inefficient. The device described herein is a packless silencer, and accomplishes the desired end of dampening undesired noise in a manner both more economical and efficient than heretofore known. The invention described is a resistive sheet type of duct liner or duct silencer, i.e., a liner or silencer in which acoustical flow resistance is concentrated in a thin face sheet (14a) separating the flow passage and acoustical cavity (16) the invention disclosed is a means for applying inexpensive perforated facings (14) and (14a) similar to those in a conventional packed silencer, to provide resistive sheets which are effective in terms of noise dissipation and in terms of self-noise (noise generated by flow through the flow passages). </p> |
