Generator Exhaust Silencers - NEW!

Full catalogue now available

In the world of generators, a silencer performs the same function for combustion engines as a muffler does for engines in automotive and construction applications. Both reduce noise and exhaust emissions produced during combustion
 

Types of Generator Silencers

Reactive Silencers

  • Internal construction consists of up to three chambers connected by a tube.
  • Exhaust noise bounces between the chambers, reducing output noise.
  • Best for low to mid-frequency noise reduction.

Absorptive Silencers

  • Internal construction consists of fiberglass or E-glass insulation.
  • Dampens exhaust noise as it flows through the insulation.
  • Ideal for reducing high-frequency sound waves.

Combination Silencers

  • Combines reactive and absorptive silencer designs.
  • Absorption material is fitted into the reactive silencer’s chamber design.
  • Effective for reducing noise across all frequency ranges.

Cylindrical Silencers

Cylindrical silencers are among the first shapes developed and can be constructed using any of the three basic designs. They are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and are considered one of the most economical options.
