'-CPower-FlowSilencers
Meet the most demanding requirements in
Noise Control for Gas and Air Flow Systems
IndustrialAcousticsCompany- thepioneeringleaderinaero-acousticnoisecontrol- has more thanfour decades
of experience in the design and manufacture of silencers for jet engines, gas turbines, forced draft fans and air
handling systems. The result is an ex/ensive range of standard silencer configurations incorporating innovative
design and manufacturing features withperformance certified in lAC's Aero-Acoustic NVLAP-Certified Laboratory.
Performance ratings for both Dynamic Insertion Loss and Aerodynamic Pressure Drop for all Power-Flow
Silencer designs have been certified in accordance with ASTM E 477 and applicable sections of ISO 7235:1991
and British Standard 4718-1971 in our full-scale wind tunnel and corroborated by independent laboratories.
Take advantage of lAC's know-how...the most extensive in the noise control industry. Special silencer
configurations are available to satisfy the most stringent criteria.

RECTANGUlAR

STACKINSERT

...For existing stacks inserts provide economical

and effective sound attenuation. Stack inserts
are available in traditional
'bullet" designs, ACFI
(ACoustic Filter) for dirty
gas streams and parallel
baffle arrangements.
Request Bulletin 4.0009

...For applications ranging from highway tunnel and

mine ventilation to cooling tower silencing, rectangular
parallel baffle silencers offer the greatest flexibility in
optimizing acoustical and aerodynamic performance.
Catalog data is published for over 50 standard configurations.

SIDEINlETANDINlET BOX

...For circular ducts/stacks and axial fan inlet and discharge, tubular siiencers provide minimum turbulence
and pressure drop. Catalog data is published for over
90 configurations. Request PFDS Data Sheets.

...For direct connection without transitions side inlet

and inlet box silencers save space and reduce cost.

PERFORMANCE
lAC silencer design is based on state-of-the-art matrix-driven computational programs which minimize
design time and eliminate costly field-performance deficiencies. However, in critical applications, it is
essentialto demonstratesilencerperformancein an aero-acousticlaboratorywith NVLAPaccreditation for
the ASTM E 477 Standard.
lAC's Aero-Acoustic Research Center permits forward- and reverse-flow dynamic-insertionloss, self-noise, and pressure-drop rating of silencers and other characteristics in a closedloop wind tunnel. Dual reverberation rooms permit testrng of system components
such as wall panels, doors, windows and assembled air handling units.
Customers, specifying engineers, and acoustical consuitants are
always welcome in the lAC laboratory. Contact us to
arrange inspection and witnessed
testing programs.
