A process for manufacturing a device and the device for damping pressure pulsations for a compressor of a gaseous fluid, in particular a refrigerant, in a refrigerant circuit of a motor vehicle air-conditioning system. The device exhibits a housing that encompasses a chamber and features at least two outlet openings. Here, the housing is constructed between tubular connecting lines, whose ends are aligned with one another. An insert element for reducing the cross-sectional area of the pass-through opening is arranged inside at least one of the pass-through openings.

A sound suppression apparatus for installation inside a gas transport duct is provided. The sound suppression apparatus comprises a resistive sound-absorbing element (110) and a housing providing a reactive sound-attenuating element (130) communicating with a surrounding of the apparatus via opening in an outer surface of the housing. An outer surface of the sound suppression apparatus comprises an outer surface of the resistive sound-absorbing element and the outer surface of the housing. A gas transport duct comprising the sound suppression apparatus is also provided.

A noise abatement fitting for an aquarium standpipe includes a coupling mated with the open end of the standpipe, a hub connected to the coupling with at least one connecting arm. A hollow externally threaded vent tube is threadedly engaged by the hub and has one end extending into the open end of the standpipe. A baffle with an outer diameter decreasing from the top to the bottom of the baffle is attached to the bottom of the vent tube and extends into and occupies a central portion (not the entirety) of the open end of the standpipe, leaving an annular space unobstructed for overflow.

Methods, systems, and devices for dissipating fluid velocity are described. An example apparatus for dissipating fluid velocity may include an elongated pipe configured to allow fluid to flow therethrough, the elongated pipe having a first end and a second end. The apparatus may include an inlet portion at the first end of the elongated pipe, an outlet portion at the second end of the elongated pipe, and a dissipation chamber between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The dissipation chamber may be configured to reduce a velocity of a stream of the fluid along a direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion, where a cross-sectional area of the dissipation chamber perpendicular to the direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion is greater than a cross-sectional area of the inlet portion perpendicular to the direction from the inlet portion to the outlet portion.

An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of flow guiding structures spatially aligned in a first row, each of the plurality of flow guiding structures comprising a fin-shape to funnel airflow at a trailing edge of each of the plurality of flow guiding structures. The apparatus also includes a plurality of flow separating structures spatially aligned in a second row interleaved between each of the plurality of flow guiding structures, each of the plurality of flow separating structures comprising a fin-shape configured to split airflow received from the plurality of flow guiding structures.

The invention relates to a vehicle silencer (1) for a charge air line of an internal combustion engine having a turbocharger (7), comprising: at least a first housing part (2) and a second housing part (3), wherein the housing parts (2, 3) are coupled to each other in a connection region (4) and form an outer casing (13) of the vehicle silencer (1); a resonator inner element (14), which is retained in at least one of the housing parts (2, 3), wherein at least a first (10) and a second resonator chamber (11) are formed by the two housing parts (2, 3) and the resonator inner element (14). The resonator inner element (14) has at least a first external retaining segment (50) in the region of an outer periphery (44) of the resonator inner element (14). A retaining groove (30) is formed in the first end wall (16) and/or in the second end wall (28), in which retaining grove the retaining segment (50) is accommodated.

A deresonated fluid system may include a pressurizable fluid line having distal, opposite line ends with the fluid line extending between the line ends. A source may be configured to apply variations in pressure of fluid in the fluid line having a frequency appropriate for producing a standing wave in the fluid line between the line ends. A fluid coupler having opposite first and second coupler ends may be attached to the fluid line in a medial portion of the fluid line between the line ends. A flow acceleration ramp may be formed about an inside of the first coupler end. An artificial acoustic shoulder may be formed about an inside of the second coupler end. The artificial acoustic shoulder may define a substantially central orifice in fluid communication with the flow acceleration ramp.
