Duct Silencers
RectangularSilencer Default Rectangular Silencer — Designed to match the dimensions of the connecting equipment or ductwork requiring no rectangular transitions or plenums.
RoundSilencer Default Round Silencer — Cylindrical silencer reduces noise in rigid round ductwork, by absorbing sound in ventilation and air-conditioning installations.
OvalSilencer Default Oval Silencer — Oval silencer designed to match the dimensions of the connecting equipment or oval ductwork. It reduces noise in rigid ductwork, by absorbing sound in ventilation and air-conditioning installations.
RectangularCrosstalkSilencer "CrosstalkSilencer" Crosstalk and Vent Shaft Silencer — The unit permits air transfer while attenuating unwanted noise, is designed to supply continuous ventilation between adjacent spaces while maintaining sound transmission ratings of the common partition. According to the space capacity the number of dampers can be set and the gap between dampers can be tuned.
