Generator air shaft silencer

How does a generator silencer reduce exhaust noise?

The exhaust noise is reduced as it flows through the insulation. This type of generator silencer has a greater sound attenuation rating and is typically used to reduce high frequency sound waves. As the name implies, this type of silencer combines the construction of the reactive and absorptive silencers.

What is a generator silencer?

This type of generator silencer is commonly used for low to mid-level noise reduction. The internal construction consists of fiberglass or E glass insulation. The exhaust noise is reduced as it flows through the insulation.

What is a diesel generator exhaust silencer?

A diesel generator exhaust silencer is a device for reducing diesel engine noise emission. It is inevitable that all internal combustion engines produce noise, more or less. The noise level will largely vary depending on diesel engine type.

Can You Weld a silencer to a portable generator?

In most cases you can weld the adapter directly to the exhaust port. The Silent Rider®’s patented technology has been adapted to silence your portable generator. We are the only custom silencer on the market and 100% made in America. You can expect up to a 15% reduction on exhaust noise, with no loss in power and performance.

Do generator exhaust silencers have a sound rating?

Typically, noise ratings increase along with the power and size of the generator. For generators, a silencer does the same job that a muffler handles for engines in automotive and construction applications. Diesel generator exhaust silencers also come with a sound rating and they are divided into various grades.

How do absorptive generator silencers work?

Absorptive generator silencers work by absorbing the noise from the exhaust before it has a chance to escape. This type of generator silencer is typically made from materials such as fiberglass or ceramic. As the name suggests, combination silencers are a combination of reactive and absorptive generator silencers.
