Selecting a Silencer

Hints and Tips

When selecting a silencer in the Product Selection Program, you have the choice of two modes. Basic mode is ideal when you only have limited information on the amount of sound attenuation you require; for example the source noise levels at each frequency and the approximate reduction in noise required. Enter the air flow, size limitations and type(s) of silencer to search for matching products.

If you have the exact insertion loss values, Advanced mode is more suitable. After completing an Acoustic Analysis, clicking the Select Silencer link within the analysis will automatically fill in the required insertion losses. Enter the air flow and any size limitations – leaving the diameter/width/height/length blank will allow the product to select the most suitable option.

From the list of resulting silencers, click a silencer to view the specification information, add it to a schedule or complete an acoustic analysis.

Version 5.5 of the Selection Program can be downloaded from our website. Remember to use the auto-updater to make sure you’ve got all the latest features.
