Compressor Discharge Silencer

Engineered noise control solutions for compressor discharges — designed, manufactured, and installed by ARK Noise Control (India)

Why Compressor Discharge Noise Needs Control

Compressor discharge lines produce intense noise from high-velocity gas flow, pressure pulsations, and turbulent expansion at discharge valves and orifices. Noise levels at compressor discharge points can reach 100-120+ dB(A), particularly during blow-off and pressure relief events. The noise spectrum contains both broadband turbulent mixing noise and discrete tonal components from pressure pulsations.

How ARK Solves Compressor Discharge Noise

ARK designs reactive-absorptive discharge silencers that combine expansion chambers for low-frequency pulsation attenuation with absorptive packing for broadband high-frequency noise. Each silencer is engineered based on the discharge conditions — flow rate, pressure, temperature, gas composition — to achieve the target noise level while maintaining backpressure within the compressor manufacturer's limits.

Key Benefits

  • Noise reduction of 25 to 40+ dB(A) at compressor discharge point
  • Reactive-absorptive design for both tonal pulsation and broadband noise
  • Low backpressure design to maintain compressor efficiency
  • Engineered for specific gas composition, pressure, and temperature
  • Stainless steel internals available for corrosive gas service
  • Designed to ASME / PED pressure vessel standards where required
