Vent Silencer Overview

A vent silencer is a device intended to reduce the very high noise levels created
when high pressure gas or steam is expanded to the atmosphere.
This noise is produced by rapid turbulence of the vented gas jet and the release
of energy from the compressed gas. Most of the noise occurs at the expansion
across the valve and is emitted at the stack opening.
The vent silencer can also provide back pressure relief for the system ensuring
proper operation.
There are two noise reduction principles used in a vent silencer.
The first is a reactive section (diffuser) to attenuate the low frequencies and
provide broad band noise reduction.
The second principle is absorption of the high frequency audible noise
into a sound absorbing material.
