Blow-off and steam vent silencers
Efficient sound protection for valve and blow-off systems
In large-scale process plants, valves emit a very high level of noise. Vibrations occur due to the pulsation of air, gas, and steam, causing noise levels up to 170 dB(A) to be emitted. Our engineers calculate these noise emissions using innovative approaches based on industry standards.
Throttle and absorption are the key elements of blow-off silencers, which fall into the combined silencers category. While absorption converts sound into thermal energy (dissipation), the throttle reduces the pulsations. This can result in the sound level being reduced by up to 70 dB.
We offer solutions for the following applications and plant types:
- Valve and blow-off systems
- Start-up’s
- Bypass for turbines
- Blow-off of various gases
- Air separation plants
- Gas plants
- Power plants
- Chemical plants
- Petrochemical plants
- Acoustic requirement (sound pressure or sound power level)
- Medium (steam, nitrogen, oxygen, natural gas, ...)
- Flow rate [kg/s]
- Temperature [°C]
- Pressure before valve [bar(g)]
- Permissible pressure loss of the silencer [Pa, mbar]
- Nominal diameter of incoming pipe [DN]
- Desired material
- Any particular components such as stuffing box, rain cover, deflector, bird screen, measuring connection, etc.
