Designing the right equipment to reduce industrial noise can be a big challenge. However, with experts like Ventx, you get the best services, exceptional technical support, and effective noise reduction. You can rely on us for various solutions, including DAS discharge silencer equipment, DLS direct line silencers, and more.
Discharge noise
Discharging high pressure gases, whether it is steam, air, nitrogen, hydrogen, or natural gas, can be very noisy. In some cases it can generate noises that are extremely hazardous, including levels comparable to a jet engine or a gunshot. As a result, there can be a huge risk to people on site, neighbours, and wildlife.
The discharge of pressurised gases creates noise because of the pressure differential. The gas will be a much higher pressure than the atmosphere. It will be moving at a much faster velocity and is far denser. Therefore, it causes a huge amount of turbulence at the outlet. The resulting noise can be painful to hear, especially if people are close to the vent.
Silencing
To tackle industrial noise and the harm it can cause, it is often necessary to install silencers. You need the right design here, tailoring it to the specific operations. Key things to think about include the type of gas, pressure, temperature, and ambient atmosphere in the area. All of this can help experts like us to deliver an effective discharge silencer.
One of the most vital factors to look at though is the level of noise reduction you need. Take noise readings at the outlets if possible to get an accurate measurement. You can then decide if a simple silencer design will be sufficient or if you need a two stage design.
If there isn’t an intensive level of noise, a single stage diffuse may work to achieve your goals. However, if there are louder sounds because of higher pressures, a multi-stage silencer will be best. Typical two stage silencers begin with a diffuser so gas can expand. They then have a second chamber with acoustic absorbent material for attenuation.
Ultimately, the goal with single or two stage discharge silencers is to de-pressurise the gases. It will bring them down as close to ambient atmospheric pressure as possible. This reduces noise and massively improves safety.
Design the most reliable discharge silencer
Venting gases is critical for various applications in a number of industries. For example, it can be necessary for boilers, blowers, compressors, heat exchangers, and more. In many cases it is vital for safety, ensuring systems won’t over-pressurise and potentially fail or explode.
If you are venting gases and need to address noise, you can rely on Ventx. We’re one of the leading industrial noise control experts in the UK. Crucially, we design every piece of equipment to suit the specific case, whether it is a discharge silencer or any other model. Doing this ensures we deliver the best results.
