EIW - Model CL & CCS Series - Centrifugal Silencers - Brochure

Centrifugal compressors are noisy and require noise control. Just as a pump raises the pressure on a liquid, a compressor raises air or gas pressure. Centrifugal compressor noise is produced primarily by blade-tip turbulance which is a function of horse power, speed, discharge pressure, piping velocities, number of stages of compression, type and number of blades etc.
