It is our job to ensure that clients are as safe from the dangers of industrial noise as possible. To do this, we supply everyone with first class silencers. We have the skills to create many different types, such as a steam vent silencer and various others. To guarantee quality, we use our extensive knowledge of acoustics and manufacturing.
In contemporary power plants, you have to safely depressurise systems and release steam. This is a necessity for safe, efficient operations. The rate at which your steam releases can produce major levels of noise pollution. It can prove to be dangerous to workers, in addition to the surrounding environment. You need to address this to ensure safety and meet the environmental standards.
To minimise noise levels, the majority of power plants use vent silencers. Due to this fact, understanding the principles of how they work is essential to guaranteeing worker safety. We want to look at them here.
How do they work?
Another name for the steam vent silencer is the blow off silencer. They are devices that industrial facilities rely on. With them, you can minimise noise levels. This is a by-product of discharging gas or steam flow from a pipeline straight into the atmosphere. Because of how swiftly the gas flows through the system, it produces noise. The higher the steam velocity and pressure, the noisier venting will be.
The two main principles
Industrial steam vent silencers lower noise using two main principles. They use them to cover a larger sound frequency range. Vents use reactive components to reflect noise back towards the source. This is instead of pushing the sound outwards. While the sound travels, its magnitude dampens and dissipates.
Several silencers have absorptive or dissipative materials to lower sound levels as well. Depending on thickness, the material can function as a barrier. It absorbs the sound before it has the opportunity to release into the surrounding environment.
In the majority of venting set ups, the leading source of noise pollution originates from the open stack exit. Specific plant designs position the vent silencer at the outlet. However, there is another way for you to best use the silencer. You need to install it straight into the stack. By putting it inside it will intercept the sound before releasing it into the atmosphere.
Choose Ventx when you need a steam vent silencer
To meet your unique silencing requirements, you need to have professionals design and install your silencers. Ventx has been on hand to design and install solutions for a variety of industries.
