General
Information
In a closed blower discharge system,

structure-borne noisesuch as that radiated
by pipe wall and silencer shellmay be a
consideration, particularly where a stringent,
close-proximity noise specification applies.
For these applications, various means are
available to treat the pipe and shell radiated
noise, such that most reasonable
specifications may be met.
Blower Silencers
For instance, it is possible to lag the silencer
shell externally and reduce any shell noise

contribution to below the casing and mechanical
noise of the blower and driving machinery.
Universal AET invites your inquiries
concerning special applications where EPA,
OSHA or other noise specifications apply.
Special applications are handled on an
individual basis and recommendations are
made according to specific requirements of
the installation.

Blower Silencers
2.1
Discharge Silencers
Rotary Positive Blowers

The Rotary Positive Blower is a two impeller
compressor that delivers a large quantity of
gas or air relative to the individual pulses.
Blower capacities are expressed in CFM at
inlet conditions (ICFM). Blower size is usually
expressed as gear diameter by rotor length.
Pitch Line Velocity (PLV) is the peripheral
velocity of the timing gearequal to the
product of the gear circumference and the
rotative speed of the blower, usually
expressed in feet per minute (FPM).
The blower presents two problems:
1) pulsation within the piping system and,
2) noise radiation in the vicinity of the blower
and piping.
The importance of these relative to each other
is a function of blower size and speed; both
increase proportionately to the blower size
and the square of the speed.
Pulsation is more pronounced on the
discharge side. Peak pulse pressures are quite
severe and can result in unsilenced discharge
sound power levels up to 140145 dB. The
inlet, although producing less severe pulsation
and noise, receives equal attention since the
inlet is usually open to atmosphere and the
noise much more apparent.
Silencers
There is little question that silencers are a
necessity on any blower installation.
Regardless of the size or speed of the blower,
silencers of some type are nearly always used.
In the selection of blower silencers, there are
two basic considerations: 1) the silencer must
be the correct size (i.e., sufficient capacity for
the volume flow) and, 2) the silencer must be
the proper type for the application. The
nominal silencer size need only be based on
the gas volume, (i.e., the CFM of the gas or
air at the operating conditions). However, the
silencer (design) must be selected with
consideration of the blower size and
operating speed. Complete application and
capacity information is given on page 2.3.
There are two types of silencers commonly
used on positive blowers: a reactive type
silencer which consists of a series of
expansion chambers having interconnecting
tubes, a more sophisticated silencer design.

is the combination chamber-absorptive type.
This combination silencer is similar to the
reactive type with the exception that an
acoustically-packed, sound absorbing
section is included, comprising an extension
of the silencer connection closest to the
blower. The inlet of a discharge silencer and
the outlet of an inlet silencer are the ends
having the packed section.
A third basic type of silencerthe simple,
straight-through packed typeis occasionally
used on blowers. This type of silencer is usually
used on small, high speed machines which
characteristically produce significant high
frequency noise and relatively mild pulsations.
The PLV is normally the criterion for
silencer type selection. If the blower is
operating in the critical PLV range, it will
generate objectionable high frequency noise
which may cause shell ring or tank hammer
in the piping and silencer. These critical
PLV conditions will always require a
combination chamber-absorptive silencer
for satisfactory results.
Inlet Silencers
For inlet service, a PLV of 3,300 ft/min or
greater is considered critical. This transition
speed is empirically established and is
somewhat arbitrary, however, it is commonly
accepted that blowers operating at or above
3,300 ft/min are considered critical for the
purpose of inlet silencer application. Those
operating below 3,300 ft/min are considered
subcritical. Subcritical PLV applications can
usually be silenced adequately with a
chamber-type silencer, such as Universal URB
or UCI Series. Blowers operating above the
critical PLV of 3,300 ft/min will invariably
require the RIS Series combination chamberabsorptive type silencer. Inlet Filters or Filter
Silencers are commonly used on blower
inlets, either individually or in series with a
separate inlet silencer. Please reference the
Filters and Filter Silencers section of this
catalog for further information.
For the more severe discharge conditions of

typical blower installations, a PLV of
2,700 ft/min is accepted as the critical
transition speed. Blowers operating below
2,700 ft/min are considered subcritical and
can usually be adequately silenced on the
discharge side by use of a chamber-type
silencer UCD or URD Series. Machines
operating above the 2700 ft/min transition
speed will require combination chamberabsorptive silencers such as SD or RD Series.
In some larger blower installations, piping
requirements or space restrictions may
preclude the use of a large, single discharge
silencer such as the SD or RD Series.
Where two or more blowers discharge into a
common header, individual silencers upstream
of the header are required to subdue the
individual blower pulsations. Otherwise, the
pulsations tend to beat with each other and
can be extremely objectionable.
Note: Silencers should be mounted as close
to the blower as possible since any piping
between the blower and silencer will radiate
noise. Standard silencer connections are not
designed to carry external piping or valve
loads, so good piping support practices
should be used to prevent stresses that
cause fatigue and eventual fracture of the
silencer or piping. It is also good practice to
isolate the blower from the silencer with a
flexible expansion joint. Contact Universal
AET for special design considerations where
loading is a factor.
Attenuation Curves
Noise attenuation curves are given for the
various models within this section.
The curves represent insertion loss of
airborne noise for typical applications under
average conditions. It is not feasible to chart
the expected performance of a silencer over
a wide range of applications and conditions,
therefore, the curves must be used with
discretion. Structure-borne noise (see
above) may be a consideration and will
require separate analysis, since it is not
airborne noise and not used for silencer
performance rating.
There are fundamental similarities between

blower silencers and other types, particularly
reciprocating engine silencers, which also
require a silencer design that provides
effective pulse control as well as noise
All silencers described are of standard with

end in, end-out design. Low or high side
inlet and outlet connections are available
and are described on the individual
catalog pages.

Silencer Recommendations
As mentioned on page 2.1 pitch line velocity
(PLV) is the speed of the timing gear in feet
per minute (ft/min). For purposes of silencer
application. PLV is considered critical at
3,300 ft/min for intake and 2,700 ft/min for
discharge.
A From Table 1 determine whether blower

RPM is above or below the transition
speed for critical PLV.
B Consult Table 2 for recommended
silencer models.
Table 1 gives transition speeds in RPM.

Blowers running at these speeds or greater
will have critical PLV. Operating speeds below
transition will be in the sub-critical range.
Blowers operating in the sub-critical speed
range usually require only simple chambertype silencers while those in the critical range
require combination chamber-absorptive type
silencers. If there is doubt, it is best to use
the combination-type silencers. When gear
size and operating speeds are known, the
proper type silencer is easily selected.

Silencer Size Selection, Capacity

Table 3 gives the nominal capacity of the
various size silencers. Size in this table
refers to the silencer nominal size, or its
inlet size. Capacities are expressed in inlet
CFM (ICFM), thus, discharge silencers are
rated at higher capacities than inlet silencers
since the air is compressed to reduced
volume at the discharge operating pressure.
* To calculate velocity through silencer, divide flow in

ACFM by cross-sectional area of silencer inlet diameter
in square feet.

Sizes smaller than four inches are equipped

with standard male threaded pipe nipples,
while the 4 and larger units have flanged
connections drilled to 125/150 lb ANSI
specifications. As with other blower silencers,
the SURS Series employs a high-heat
aluminum paint system.
The SURS is a basic end-in, end-out

configuration. A low-side inlet model is
designated as the SURSY Series; the
SURSY is fundamentally identical to the
SURS series in both dimension and
attenuation performance. Both series are
designed to operate at pressures to 15 psi.
Mounting brackets, shell lagging and other
accessories are available for both series of
blower silencers.
the silencer units. The unit will provide

excellent pulse control and is designed for
the most demanding applications.
SURS Series blower silencers are heavyduty, all welded steel construction, suitable
for application as either and inlet or
discharge silencer on rotary positive. These
units are designed for blowers running
above critical transition speed, and
therefore, no acoustic packing material is
included in the design. Instead, these units
have a specially designed, highperformance, three chamber system which
incorporates a diffuser on the blower side of

Pressure Vessel Construction
All silencers shown in this catalog may be
fabricated in accordance with Div. 1,
Section VIIIASME Code for Unfired
Pressure Vessels. Dimensions are similar
to standard models, but material types and
thicknesses are selected to meet code
requirements. Prices are quoted on
application to meet your pressure and
temperature conditions.
Inspection Openings
Inspection Openings with bolted and
gasketed cover plates are available installed
at the time the silencer is fabricated. They
are designed to withstand the usual range of
pressure encountered with blowers. One
inspection opening is usually installed in
each silencer chamber for cleaning or
inspection. Standard sizes include:
3" " 4", 4" " 6", 6" " 8".
Oversize Flanges
Frequently the blower flange size is larger
than the required silencers connection.
Rather than use a larger silencer, it is
usually more economical to use an oversize
reducing flange on the silencer. This is the
conventional piping practice and may be
used on either inlet or discharge silencers.
Example: a 10" flange size silencer has
adequate capacity for a blower with a 12"
discharge flange. A flange having a drilling
pattern to match the 12" blower flange but
with a 10" bore to match the silencer nozzle
is substituted on the silencer inlet.
Two pipe sizes, (e.g. 10" to 14"), is the
recommended maximum variation. Prices
on request.

The flow area through the silencer must be
sufficient to accommodate the maximum flow
without imposing excessive pressure drop.
The following instructions enable the
selection of the proper silencer size and
determination of actual pressure drop. These
instructions assume air as the flowing gas.
For other gases, density and other corrections
may be necessarycontact Universal AET for

Notes
1 Since self noise and aerodynamic noise
generation increase with velocity,
absorptive silencers are usually sized for
4,0008,000 ft/min. In no case should
the velocity exceed 15,000 ft/min,
regardless of pressure drop allowed.
2 Typical attenuation curves indicate the
characteristics of the silencer series and
are neither a minimum nor a guarantee for
an individual silencer. Individual silencer
performance can be affected by sound
source characteristics including pure
tones, flow velocity, adjacent piping, and
temperature.

Silencers
Blower Silencers
The absorptive type silencer is the classic

dissipative design, deriving its noise control
properties from the basic fact that noise
energy is effectively absorbed by various
types of fibrous packing materials. More
technically, as sound waves pass through
the spaces between the tightly-packed smalldiameter fibers of the absorptive material,
the resulting viscous friction dissipates the
sound energy as small amounts of heat.

The U5 Series is a premium, straightthrough, absorptive silencer. It provides

excellent noise attenuation due to its very
high length to diameter ratio. It is especially
well suited for inlet service on small rotary
positive or centrifugal blowers or the
discharge of vacuum pumps. Mild steel

The SU5 Series is our highest grade

standard absorptive silencer. Its design
consists of two concentric perforated
cylinders lined with acoustical pack, forming
an annular flow path. This design features
full blocked-line-of-sight, while providing
full flow area for low resistance. Mild steel
The SU4 Series provides lower

attenuation, ranking just below the SU5
Series. The design of this unit features a
bullet centered in the flow tube to provide
annular flow path and partial blocked-lineof-sight. Pressure drop is only slightly
greater than the SU5. Mild steel
The SU3 Series is the most economical of

Universal AETs three grades of annular
design silencers. Its design is nearly
identical to the SU4, including annular flow
path and partial blocked-line-of-sight.
Pressure drop coefficient is the same as for
the SU4 Series. Mild steel construction,
primer-coated exterior.

purchaser provides detailed specifications and
a system description that enables Universal

An even easier way is to simply send the

Universal AET and the experienced sales staff
will recommend a silencer best suited for the
application.

Information
Application
Methodology
Subsonic (or noncritical flow) low-pressure

vent and blowdown applications do not
require, nor in most cases does the valve
have pressure drop available to permit, the
use of an inlet diffuser. Contact Universal
AET for silencer recommendations when a
combination of both low pressure drop and
acoustic requirements must be met.
The HV Series is offered in six standard
acoustic ratings, ranging in attenuation from
15 to 70 db. The HV05 is offered for
applications where only minimum noise
reduction is necessary, while the HV30 is
offered for applications where maximum
silencing is necessary. Acoustic ratings are
offered in sizes that cover a wide range of
gas flow.
HV20 and HV30 acoustic ratings are offered
for standard pipe diameters from 2" to 112".
All other acoustic ratings are offered for
standard pipe diameters of 12" to 112".

We are skilled in the application of process

engineering principles that are needed to
meet your performance requirements
successfully. A key element of a successful
vent application is proper assignment of
pressure drop in the piping, valve, and vent
silencer. Valve performance and life can be
considerably extended by appropriate
distribution of pressure drop in the piping
system, valve, and vent silencer. In many
instances it is possible to reduce the
pressure drop across the valve body to less
than critical. This results in reduced valve
actuator open/close force requirements.
Reduced valve wear caused by cavitation
damage and reduced through-valve-body
noise are added benefits of this approach.
Use the following design information from

the valve data sheet for system analysis and
silencer selection:
In vent applications, critical flow will occur

for most gases at valve upstream pressures
greater than twice the outlet pressure. Vent
and blowdown noise levels increase with
increased pressure drop and are also
affected by valve aerodynamic recovery
characteristics. Large valve, low-pressure
vents will produce relatively broadband lowfrequency noise, while high-pressure vents
with small valves will produce highfrequency noise.
Application Analysis
The HV Series comes with an inlet diffuser

or orifice plate that is a critical element to
the acoustic and mechanical performance of
the silencer. Both the inlet nozzle and the
diffuser/orifice plate are designed and
constructed to withstand the thermal and
impact stresses produced in high-pressure,
high-temperature, continuous or
intermittent vent and blowdown service.

Application Notes
Construction Features
Pipe size immediately downstream from a

valve affects the noise spectrum octave
band distribution. Universal AET has
developed proprietary methods to predict
this distribution and accurately select the
appropriate balance of reactive and
absorptive elements in the vent silencer
design.
Universal AET vent silencers are welded

heavy-duty units. The inlet nozzle and
diffuser are constructed of steel and are
welded. The diffuser provides controlled
pressure expansion to atmosphere and
uniform flow distribution through the
acoustic section of the silencer.
Annular vent silencers are assembled with

structural members that accommodate
thermal expansion in high-temperature
applications. The acoustic fill is long fiber,
noncombustible, inert, vermin and
moisture-resistant fiberglass of at least
four-pound-per-cubic-foot density,
protected by both a fiberglass cloth and a
perforated metal face sheet. The silencer is
packed with a minimum of 10%
compression fill; pack retaining rings
minimize voids and settling of the fill.
The silencer is designed so the inlet flange
and diffuser are matched to the discharge
rating of the valve. Often, Universal AET can
create a more cost-effective valve and piping
system by using a restrictive diffuser or
orifice plate to stage the system pressure
drop. For conservatism, vent silencers with
restrictive diffusers are designed with
pressure ratings that match the PSV inlet
pressure rating. However, it is important to
ensure that the control valve will not
malfunction from the rated back pressure of
the restrictive diffuser by reviewing the valve
manufacturers data sheet.
Customers are encouraged to contact the

Compressed Gas Association (CGA) for
more standards related to preparation
and cleaning for applications in pure
oxygen service.
The lined inlet plenum (expansion chamber)

of the silencer is designed with a double
shell separated by a layer of acoustic
insulation and sound-deadening material.
The inner shell is solid to prevent shellradiated noise and migration of the acoustic
fill. The transmission loss across the
plenum and bottom head is comparable to
the silencer attenuation.

Each of the four designss in this section has

unique advantages over the others,
depending upon the application, pressure
drop and space utilization. This catalog
covers standard models and sizes and
provides basic information to evaluate the
merits of the individual designs for your
application. Special configurations,
materials, higher temperatures, and sizes
are available upon request.
AFS Series
Absorptive/Reactive Silencer
The AFS series fan silencer combines a
reactive and absorptive chamber design that
both reflects acoustic energy and dissipates
it with absorptive pack material.
Constructed from plate and sheet steel in an
all-welded, straight-through flow path
design, the AFS series is suitable for most
applications on the inlet and discharge of
centrifugal or axial blowers, especially when
low pressure drop is required. The standard
AFS silencer is suitable for temperatures up
to 325F.
LP
The low-pressure drop Acousti-Vane has
lower pressure drop than the other two
models and is the most economical of the
three. The LP is the silencer of choice when
pressure drop is critical and a relatively small
amount of noise attentuation is needed.
MP
The moderate pressure-drop Acousti-Vane
offers greater acoustic performance than
the LP at a slightly higher pressure drop.
The MP models meets most noise
attenuation specifications.
HP
The high-performance Acousti-Vane
provides maximum acoustic performance at
a higher pressure drop than the LP or MP.
The HP models is ideal for the most
demanding acoustical environment.
The steel frame of the Acousti-Vane
silencers has high sound transmission loss.
The standard shell finish includes solventcleaning by SSPC-SP-1, shop coat primer
inside and outside, and a blue enamel
coating outside. The paint system
withstands internal gas and skin
temperatures up to 200F. Optional paint
systems are available.
Composite materials are used in the

flowpath to reduce corrosion and
maintenance. The lightweight, easy-tohandle design reduces shipping cost and
installation time. The Acousti-Tube modules
are factory-assembled in a hightransmission-loss steel frame. The frame
has a standard high-performance, two coat
paint system on interior and exterior
surfaces suitable for outdoor installations.

The Acousti-Tube silencer is available in

standard cross-sections and lengths, which
cover a wide range of product applications
and are economical solutions to noise
problems. The silencers modular design
allows customization for non-standard
configurations without any loss of acoustic
performance or increased pressure loss.
The Acousti-Vane is available in three

standard models:
The modular, compact, lightweight AcoustiTube silencer knocks out high-frequency

noise while minimizing pressure drop.
The Acousti-Vane silencer comes in

standard cross-sections and lengths that
cover a wide range of applications and
provide economical solutions to a broad
range of noise conditions. Standard units
can be adapted for use in non-standard or
application-specific configurations.
Acousti-Tube
Absorptive/Tubular Flow Silencer
Universal AET designs and manufactures a

complete line of silencers for application on
all fan types. Computer enhanced technology
developed for fan, turbine, and other air
moving equipment enables Universal AET to
offer a cost-effective solution for every
fan silencing application.
Acousti-Vane
Absorptive/Parallel Baffle Silencer
Primary air fans, forced draft fans and

induced draft fans generally require some
form of acoustical treatment. Most
applications require inlet and/or outlet
silencers to meet OSHA and other noise
requirements. For continuous exposure, a
maximum of 90 dBA is generally specified
to avoid hearing damage. When
conversation near the fan is desired, levels
of 80 dBA and less are often needed.

Notes
1 Since self noise and aerodynamic noise
generation increase with velocity,
absorptive silencers are usually sized for
4,0008,000 ft/min. In no case should
the velocity exceed 15,000 ft/min,
regardless of pressure drop allowed.
2 Typical attenuation curves indicate the
characteristics of the silencer series and
are neither a minimum nor a guarantee
for an individual silencer. Individual
silencer performance can be affected by
sound source characteristics including
pure tones, flow velocity, adjacent piping,
and temperature.

The Acousti-Vane silencer comes in

standard cross-sections and lengths that
cover a wide range of applications and
provide economical solutions to a broad
range of noise conditions. Standard units
can be adapted for use in non-standard or
application-specific configurations.
Follow these steps to find the silencer that

is most appropriate for your application.
The Acousti-Vane is available in three

standard models:
2 Determine the allowable pressure drop

and flow in ACFM for your application.
To find the pressure drop for gas
temperatures other than 60F, multiply
the selected value by [520/(actual gas
temperature F " 460)].
LP
The low-pressure drop Acousti-Vane has
the lowest pressure drop and is the most
economical of the three.
MP
The moderate-pressure drop unit offers
greater acoustic performance than the LP at
a slightly higher pressure drop and meets
most noise attenuation specifications.
HP
The high-performance Acousti-Vane
provides the maximum acoustic
performance. The HP model is ideal for the
most demanding acoustical environment.
The steel frame for Acousti-Vane silencers
has high sound transmission loss. The paint
system withstands internal gas
temperatures and skin temperatures up to
200F. Optional paint systems are available.
How Do I Choose?
Three parameters are needed to select the
correct silencer: (1) required acoustic
insertion loss, (2) allowable pressure loss,
and (3) the flow in actual cubic feet per
minute (ACFM) of your equipment.
1 Determine the required dynamic

insertion loss by octave band for your
equipment and select the minimum
silencer length that gives the required
loss for each model.
3 Choose the Acousti-Vane model for

your application. From the three graphs
on page 5.5, choose the one that has the
allowable pressure drop on the Y-axis.
Read straight across until the line meets
the pressure drop curve. The
corresponding X-axis value is the
maximum face velocity that will maintain
the pressure drop requirement.
4 Divide the ACFM by the required face
velocity to find the minimum silencer
cross-section that would give the
required pressure drop.
Face velocity is defined as the flow rate
in ACFM divided by the silencer face
area in square feet (W # H).
5 Select the silencer from the tables on
page 5.5. Replace L in the part number
with the length of silencer you found in
step 2. Specify whether the silencer is
an LP, MP, or HP model. The pressure
drop will be equal to or slightly below
the allowable pressure drop you
selected. For special applications that
require minimum pressure drop and
demanding acoustic specifications,
contact Universal AET.
Example Case:
Acousti-Vane Selection for
a Gas Turbine Inlet
1 The insertion loss needed to
attenuate noise is determined to be
4, 7, 12, 20, 20, 18, 18, 14, 11 in
the octave band center frequencies
31.5 Hz8 kHz.
2 Tables 13 on page 5.5 show that
a 12-ft LP, 9-ft MP or a 5-ft HP
would satisfy the requirements.
3 For this application, the allowable
pressure drop is 0.25 inches of
water. Which eliminates the HP
model (see graph to the right of
the table). For purposes of
example, the flow in ACFM is
assumed to be 30,000.
4 The graphs on page 5.5 show that
the maximum face velocity to
achieve 0.25 inches of water is
2,000 ft/min for the 12-ft LP and
1,500 ft/min for the 9-ft MP.
5 Divide the flow in ACFM by the
required face velocity for each
silencer:
LP ! 30,000/2,000 ! 15 ft2
MP ! 30,000/1,500 ! 20 ft2
6 In Table 4 on page 5.5, find the
silencer size that is equal to or
greater than 15 ft2 for the LP model
and 20 ft2 for the MP. In this
example, the 4 # 4 LP (at
16 ft2 face velocity) and 4 # 6 MP
(at 24 ft2)meet your specifications,
so you choose between:
AV $ 4 # 4 $ 12 $ LP
or
AV $ 4 # 6 $ 9 $ MP
Acousti-Vane dimensions. The silencer

comes in standard cross-sectional
dimensions and standard flange patterns.
Flange patterns also can be designed to
match your specifications. Silencers may
be applied at temperatures that range
between $20F and 200F. For standard
flange patterns, silencer weights, and other
details, request Technical Bulletin 94-1327.

Acousti-Tube
Absorptive Tubular Flow Type
Rectangular Silencers
The modular, compact, lightweight AcoustiTube silencer knocks out high-frequency

noise while minimizing pressure drop.
The Acousti-Tube silencer comes in

standard cross-sections and lengths, which
cover a wide range of applications and are
economical solutions to industrial fan noise
problems. The silencers modular design
enables customization for non-standard
configurations without any loss of acoustic
performance or increased pressure loss.
The lightweight, easy-to-handle design

reduces shipping cost and installation time.
The Acousti-Tube modules are factoryassembled in a high-transmission-loss steel
frame. The frame has a standard highperformance, two-coat paint system on
interior and exterior surfaces suitable for
outdoor installations.
Composite materials are used in the flowpath

to reduce corrosion and maintenance.
Acousti-Tube silencers operate optimally at

temperatures between 20F and 200F.
How Do I Choose?
As with the Acousti-Vane, three parameters
are needed to select the correct AcoustiTube silencer: (1) required acoustic
insertion loss, (2) allowable pressure loss,
and (3) the flow in actual cubic feet per
minute (ACFM) for your equipment.
Follow these steps to choose the
appropriate silencer:
1 Determine the required dynamic
insertion loss by octave band for your
equipment. Use Table 1 to select the
minimum silencer length that gives the
required octave band insertion loss.

In Figure 1, find the Y-axis value for the
allowable pressure drop. Read straight
across the graph to the pressure drop
curve. The corresponding X-axis value is
the maximum face velocity that will
maintain the pressure drop requirement.

3 Divide the ACFM by the required face

velocity to find the minimum crosssection that gives the required pressure
drop. Face velocity is defined as the flow
rate in ACFM divided by the silencer face
area in square feet (W # H).
4 Select the silencer model from Table 2.

Replace L in the model number with the
length of silencer you found in step 2.
The part number for ordering will be the
prefix 07-, the dimensions of the silencer,
and the suffix -AA. So a 2 # 2 # 4 silencer
would have a part number of
07-224-AA. For special applications that
require minimum pressure drop and
demanding acoustic specifications,
contact Universal AET.

Vacuum Pump Systems
Separator-silencers may be required for

both the inlet (vacuum) and the discharge
(atmospheric) of a vacuum system. Only the
most stringent acoustical environments
General
Information
The vacuum pump or blower discharge is

normally extremely noisy and requires a
high-performance separator-silencer.
Vacuum pump capacities at operating

conditions are expressed by the inlet
volume flow of air and the amount that the
inlet pressure has been reduced below
atmospheric pressure. Thus, vacuum pump
capacities are stated in inlet ACFM at a
relative vacuum, usually measured in inches
of mercury (Hg).
Inlet and discharge separator-silencers

require drain systems to remove the liquid.
These systems (both inlet and discharge)
must provide an adequate drain sealing
system or liquid level to offset the vacuum
on the inlet side and prevent blowout on the
discharge side. See Tables 2 and 3 on the
following page for liquid removal data.
The discharge flow rate decreases from

startup to normal operation, and in some
applications it may be acceptable to exceed
a velocity of 5,500 ft/min during startup.
If it is not acceptable to discharge liquid
during startup, the velocity must be reduced.

This is an example of a vacuum pump

and liquid removal system. Air and liquid
enter the inlet separator-silencer during
processing (1). Process liquid is
removed (2), and air enters the vacuum
pump (3). The pump takes in seal liquid
(4). Air and seal liquid are pumped into
the discharge separator-silencer (5),
which removes the liquid (6) and sends
the air into the atmosphere (7).
Since the inlet volume flow rate is nearly

constant during normal vacuum pump
operation, the inlet separator-silencer
should be sized so the velocity does not
exceed 5,500 ft/min during all phases of
operation (Table 1, page 6.2).
If some liquid bypass is allowed during

startup, the selection of the discharge
separator-silencer should be based on
pressure drop.
Separator-silencers meet their rated liquid

separation efficiency at a nozzle velocity of
5,500 ft/min. At lower velocities their
performance improves. At higher velocities
their efficiency decreases. The nozzle
velocity is the air velocity in the inlet or
discharge nozzle and is equal to the actual
volume flow rate (ACFM) divided by the
nozzle area.
Liquid Separation Performance
When a vacuum pump starts operating at

normal atmospheric pressure, system
pressure drop and power requirements are at
their maximum. As the vacuum pump
continues to evacuate the system, the inlet
pressure decreases so the system pressure
losses and power requirements decrease.
The inlet volume flow in actual cubic feet per
minute (ACFM) stays essentially constant
throughout system operation, but because of
decreasing inlet pressure, the discharge
volume decreases until normal operating
conditions are reached.

require significant inlet silencing. An inlet

separator provides corrosion protection for
the vacuum pump by removing most, if not
all, of the process liquid before it enters the
vacuum pump.
Separator-silencers are used to remove

liquid from gas flow vacuum systems using
either liquid-sealed rotary positive blowers
or liquid ring vacuum pumps (Fig. 1).

Separator-Silencers
Technical Details
Separator-silencer pressure drop depends on
velocity and pressure. In a vacuum system,
pressure drop is at a maximum during
startup. Under normal atmospheric
conditions, the pressure drop at startup, for
either an inlet or discharge separator-silencer,
is calculated from the following equation:

ET Series Silencers
Straight-Through Silencers
Some engines require very low exhaust
system back pressures for maximum
performance. Many turbocharged engines
and some naturally aspirated engines fall into
this category. For these engines, straightthrough, reactive silencers are available to
provide adequate silencing while imposing
negligible restriction on exhaust gas flow.
Straight-through exhaust silencers

for engines which demand very low
back pressures.
ES Series Silencers
Spark Arresting Silencers
Operating locations exist where fire hazards
and safety codes require removal of sparks
from exhaust gases. Universal AETs spark
arrestor silencers are engineered to perform
the dual function of spark arrestment and
silencing for all internal combustion
engines.
Spark arresting exhaust silencers

for engines operating in high
potential fire areas.
Multi-chamber exhaust silencers for most

reciprocating engines.
Multi-Chamber Silencers
For the majority of engines and operating
conditions, multi-chamber type silencers
provide maximum noise attenuation within
acceptable back pressure limits. Most
naturally aspirated and supercharged
engines need this type of silencer. Many
turbocharged engines are best silenced with
this design also. Factors which influence the
choice of silencer design are explained on
the following page.
EN Series Silencers
Sizing
Information
Universal AETs engine exhaust silencers are

high quality, fully welded, reactive silencers
designed to reduce exhaust noise on all
types of internal combustion engines. Each
engine and each operating location requires
a unique combination of silencer properties.
For this reason many different silencer

models are cataloged to cover most
silencing problems. In cases where
standard silencers will not meet a particular
spec, these custom silencers will satisfy the
application need.
Selection of Silencer Size
Choosing the correct exhaust silencer for a

given engine is an important although not
difficult task. First of all, a degree of
silencing is chosen that will satisfy the
noise requirements unique to each engine
and location. Secondly, the silencer size is
selected to accommodate the specified
volume of exhaust flow without imposing
excessive back pressure.

7.2
Selection of Silencer Type (Grade)

Each silencer group described on pages
7.37.6 has a number of a series with
different noise attenuation characteristics.
The series letter designation (e.g., EN2)
indicates in relative terms the degree of
noise attenuation; the higher the number,
the greater the attenuation.
The open flow area within the silencer

should be large enough to accommodate
the maximum possible exhaust flow without
exceeding the engine manufacturers
maximum allowable back pressure.
Improperly sized silencers may cause loss
of power or damage to the engine.
Data required:
engine exhaust flow (CFM)
exhaust temperature (F)
maximum back pressure (inches of water)
The following formulas enable the correct
silencer size to be quickly determined.
1 Calculate gas velocity.
!P
2 Industrial or Commercial grade

3 Residential grade
V ! 4005
4 Critical grade
5 Hospital grade
The attenuation curves next to the tables on
each page indicate the attenuation in dB by
octave bands.
These curves are based upon typical
applications. They will not necessarily define
the precise insertion loss for any specific
application since the insertion loss achieved
may be influenced substantially by many
factors, including engine size, type, speed,
and unsilenced noise levels and frequency
distribution.

V = gas velocity
!P = back pressure, inches of water

(Table 1)
T = exhaust gas temperature, F
Note: Velocity should not exceed
15,000 ft/min regardless of the
allowable back pressure.
2 Calculate required flow area.

Flex Connectors are recommended for engine

exhaust applications to compensate for
thermal expansion and vibration (but not
misalignment). Flexible material is type 321
stainless steel, suitable for temperatures to
1200F. Flanges and pipe fittings are mild
steel. Sizes 1"3" are standard with male
NPT, larger sizes are equipped with flanges
drilled to 125/150 lb ANSI.
Each Companion Flange Set includes one

mild steel welding flange drilled to match
125/150 lb ANSI, one gasket and one set of
bolts and nuts. Cast iron threaded flanges and
stainless steel flanges are available and will be
quoted on request. Single and double
reducing flanges are also available.

Pressure Drop, in Inches Water Gauge
To avoid confusion, pressure drop values in

the graphs include pipe entrance pressure
drops from the atmospheric end of the inlet
pipe. These drops are significant,
contributing as much as 75% of the total
pressure drop, and should not be attributed
to the filter. Adding the filter transfers these
pressure losses to the interior of the filter
housing. A pressure drop measurement at
the pressure tap on the filter outlet reflects
the total:
Pipe entrance loss
Velocity pressure
Housing restriction

2 The second value is the restriction

through the filter panel media. These
values are taken from the table below.

be attributed to the filter housing without
filter panels. This value is found in the
graphs at right.

Pressure Drop, in Inches Water Gauge
These filters and filter-silencers are available

with a variety of filter panels, each with its
own restriction characteristics. To reflect that
fact, the total pressure drop for a specific filter
application is the sum of two pressure drop

Noise Attenuation
The FH and FSH series use standard panel
filters, which are available in a variety of
types and efficiencies. The supports for the
filter frames inside the housings
accommodate conventional 2" deep singlepanel filters or, for critical service, two
single-panel filters staged in series. In the
case of dual-stage systems, use a highefficiency final filter and a less efficient
primary filter. The FSH series has an
integrated silencing section for applications
that require moderate noise reduction.
All units are fabricated of steel sheet and

plate, welded throughout to provide a
rugged, long-lasting, trouble-free air
filtering component. All models are
equipped with a pressure tap and flanges
drilled to match 125/150-lb ANSI
specifications. Inside and outside housing
surfaces are primed and given a finish coat
of enamel paint. Suitable mounting legs
may be fitted in the field or will be quoted
upon application.

Nominal capacity is based on an exit velocity of approximately 5,000 ft/min. Filter element capacity may be greater, but this is unrelated to unit capacity.
4"-deep filter frames will hold single or dual elements. Weights include the weights of weather louvers only. Refer to page 8.8 for filter element details.

Usually, a moderately efficient filter panel is

used as the first-stage element. The FCRH
series has an integrated silencing section
that provides moderate noise reduction.
The high-efficiency P-5 cartridge filters have

threaded ends that screw into individual
receptacles. As each P-5 filter is removed
and replaced, less than 4 in2 is exposed to
the flow of unfiltered air, so hot swap
changeouts (while the system is in
operation) are an option for these units.

rugged, long-lasting, trouble-free air filtering
component. All models are equipped with a
pressure tap and flange drilled to match
125/150-lb ANSI specifications. Inside and
outside surfaces are primed and given a
finish coat of enamel paint. All housings
come with low-profile, UV-stabilized highdensity polyethylene weather louvers.

The Universal AET BFH Series air filter is a

compact, inexpensive unit designed for
standard panel filters, which are available in a
variety of types and efficiencies. Where noise
is a consideration, the BFH is used in series
with a separate inlet silencer. The filter
frames accommodate conventional 2"-deep
single-panel filter elements, single stage only.
These units are fabricated of steel sheet and

plate, welded throughout, to provide a
rugged, long-lasting, trouble-free air
filtering component. The filter is equipped
with removable weather louvers. For
convenience of mounting, the bottom plate
contains an opening and bolting pattern that
matches 125/150 lb ANSI flange
specifications. Inside and outside housing
surfaces are primed and given a finish coat
of enamel paint.

RF units are fabricated of steel sheet and

plate, welded throughout. Filter panels are
serviced and replaced through hinged
access doors. Flanged connections are
drilled to match 125/150# ANSU
specifications. Inside and outside surfaces
are given a shop coat of rust inhibitive
primer. The exterior may be finish-painted in
the field if desirable.
The RF Series Filter-Silencer is a high-degree

reactive (chamber) silencer of very rugged
construction, which is typically required for
large, slow-speed reciprocating or positive
displacement machinery, where broadband
noise attenuation and inherent vibrationresistant structural strength is required. Wire
mesh panel filters are standard in one of the
four configurations shown below.

Noise Attenuation
The FASH Series Absolute Filter-Silencer
represents the ultimate high-efficiency air
filtration for industrial applications. The unit
uses first- and second-stage elements,
having a combined depth of 20", to provide
exceptional efficiency on ultra-fine
particulates and a large surface area for low
flow resistance and high dirt-retention
capacity. Filtration efficiency is 99.97% on
particles 0.3 microns.
Instead of a conventional gasket seal, the
FASH utilizes a unique fluid seal for the final
filter. A channel on the downstream side of the
P-12F final filter holds a stable silicon gel fluid.
The frame has a projecting tongue which is
immersed in the fluid. The result is a 100%
bypass-free system.
The FASH features an integral silencing

section for a moderate degree of noise
attenuation. The unit is constructed of
heavy-duty steel sheet and plate, welded
throughout, making it a rugged, long-lasting,
trouble-free air filtering component.
All models are equipped with removable
weatherhoods, pressure tap, and flanges
drilled to match 125/150 lb ANSI
specifications. Inside and outside surfaces
are primed and given a finish coat of
enamel paint.

Suitable mounting legs may be fitted in the

field, or quoted upon application.
For economy, the filters are staged, so that

the less expensive pre-filter roughing pad
and primary filter can be changed more
frequently than the final filter. Under typical
conditions, the pre-filter will require
replacement about once a year, while the
final filter may provide two to three years
of service. Specification details for the P-8
pre-filter and P-12F final filter can be found
on page 8.7.

Nominal capacity is based on exit velocity of approximately 5,000 ft/min. Filter element capacity may be greater, but this is unrelated to unit capacity. 4" deep filter frames will
hold single elements or dual elements. Weights do not include the weight of the filter elements. Weight is measured with steel weatherhoods. Louvered weatherhoods reduce
weight by 7 lb per filter opening.

1 Measure the pressure drop with all filters

installed and subtract the value
measured at installation, when the filters
were clean, to find the pressure drop
across both loaded filters.
2 Measure the pressure drop with the P-8

pre-filters removed, but the P-12F final
filters installed; this gives the pressure
drop across the final filters.
After the units have been in service and the

filters are loaded, determine whether the
filters need to be replaced as follows:
1 Measure the pressure drop with all

filters installed.
Filter Replacement
When new filters or filter-silencers are

installed, make the following two pressure
drop measurements and record the results
for future reference:
P-8 and P-12F absolute filter elements

are not cleanable; they must be replaced
with new elements according to these

Service Instructions
Because of the low cost of the paper
element, it is generally treated as a
consumable and replaced when dirty.
However, depending on customer
preference, the paper element may be
cleaned with compressed air and reused.
Compressed Air Cleaning
Carefully direct compressed air (100 PSI
maximum) through the dry element,

New elements are delivered pre-treated with
Universal AETs oil-free adhesive. See the
back page for details. For best efficiency,
wire mesh elements must be retreated after
each cleaning. Spray the element on both
sides with Universal Oil-Free Adhesive, P/N
81-0323, following the directions on the
container. For oil treatment, dip the element
in SAE 3050 motor oil and drain thoroughly
before using.
Cleaning
To clean wire mesh elements, wash in
solvent or warm water and detergent in a
container large enough for complete
immersion of element. Rinse completely,
drain, and either air dry or use compressed
air. After cleaning and drying, retreat the
element with oil-free adhesive or oil as
described.
