Abstract
A blower noise silencer comprises both an air turbulence stage and a noise absorption stage. The air turbulence stage includes a tubular screen enclosing a spiral vane wrapping around a central bore running through the air turbulence stage. The screen is surrounded by a hollow chamber. The noise absorption stage includes a hollow tubular screen surrounded by a chamber packed with sound dampening material. Each chamber in the silencer is closed other than through the screen that it surrounds whereas the screens open at one another and to opposite ends of the silencer to provide air flow movement into and out of the silencer.
Claims2
An air silencer comprising an air turbulence stage and a noise absorption stage, said air turbulence stage being formed by a tubular screen enclosing a spiral vane wrapping around a central bore extending throughout said air turbulence stage, and a hollow chamber surrounding and only being open through said screen in said air turbulence stage, said noise absorption stage being formed by a hollow tubular screen surrounded by an insulation material packed chamber which only open through said screen in said noise absorption stage, said screens being in air flow communication with one another and with air flow from externally of said silencer.
