FLUID FLOW CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF FLOWING FLUIDS

Fluid flow control devices, systems, and methods may include a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body has a fluid inlet at a first axial end of the body and a fluid outlet at a second axial end of the body. Channels may extend through an interior portion of the body between the fluid inlet at the first axial end and the fluid outlet at the second axial end. The channels collectively define fluid pathways through the body.

Inline high frequency fiber silencer

A high frequency attenuating device for an air flow induction system of a vehicle employing a thermoformed fibrous mat of any shape that fits robustly inside the duct. The dissipative nature of the fibrous mat helps in achieving broadband attenuation in the high frequency regime. The ability to manufacture the fibrous mat into any shape helps with restriction, targets different attenuation bands, and makes it more feasible to manufacture. Hybrid solutions are possible when combined with low frequency perforated silencers or high frequency QWT arrays injection molded onto them.
