Abstract
A silencer housing component for a pneumatic system for a vehicle includes an outer wall and an end wall. The outer wall extends circumferentially around a center axis. A plurality of gas outlet passages are formed through the outer wall. The end wall includes a gas directing structure. The gas directing structure forms at least one gas flow channel that curves around the center axis.

A silencer housing component for a pneumatic component for a vehicle, the silencer housing component comprising:
- an outer wall extending circumferentially around a center axis of the silencer housing component, the outer wall comprising a first axial end extending along a first plane and a second axial end extending along a second plane, the first plane and the second plane extending transverse to the center axis, wherein a mounting structure for mounting the silencer housing component is arranged at the first axial end of the outer wall;
- and
- an end wall extending from the second axial end of the outer wall towards the center axis along the second plane;
- wherein several gas outlet passages are formed through the silencer housing component in at least the outer wall;
- and
- wherein a gas directing structure is provided on the end wall and/or the outer wall, the gas directing structure forming at least one gas flow channel that curves around the center axis.
