Burgess-Manning Inline Silencer

Burgess-Manning inline silencers are used in industrial piping and ducting systems where noise generated by moving air, gas, or process flow can affect surrounding equipment, plant operations, and nearby work areas.

These silencers are commonly associated with refinery, chemical process, compressed air, and gas plant environments, as well as equipment such as centrifugal compressors, roots blowers, control valves, and large fans.

Inline silencers may be designed around different acoustic principles depending on the application.

Process Controls Corporation - Burgess-Manning Inline Silencer

Burgess-Manning identifies absorptive/dissipative inline silencers and reactive inline silencers as typical inline silencer configurations. Absorptive/dissipative silencers are generally used for broadband noise attenuation, while reactive silencers use chambers, volumes, choke tubes, or venturis to address specific noise frequencies and some flow pulsation concerns.

For industrial facilities evaluating inline silencer options, Process Controls Corporation can help review the application, system conditions, and installation requirements to determine whether an inline silencer is appropriate for the process or equipment layout.

Key Characteristics

Used in piping or ducting networks where industrial noise control is required
Applicable to suction or discharge silencing applications when supported by system design
Commonly associated with centrifugal compressors, roots blowers, control valves, and large fans
Available in absorptive/dissipative and reactive silencer design approaches
Absorptive silencers may be supplied with a casing or as cartridges for installation into existing customer piping between flanges
Reactive silencers may be configured as fully reactive designs or combined with absorptive silencer elements when broader attenuation is required
