Abstract

Provided are: a muffler that can suitably obtain an attenuation effect of a sound wave; and a muffling device including the same. The muffler is installed on a wall surface of a pipe conduit where a gas flows. The muffler includes: a front surface exposed to an inner surface of the pipe conduit; a bottom surface facing the front surface; and a side surface disposed between the front surface and the bottom surface and covering a space between the front surface and the bottom surface. The front surface is formed with a plurality of through-holes, and the number of through-holes arrayed in a gas flow direction is one or two, and the number thereof arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the gas flow direction is 10 or more.

Claims (21)

1. A muffling device comprising:

a plurality of mufflers installed on a wall surface of a pipe conduit in which a gas flows; and

a holding section housing the plurality of mufflers and fixed to the wall surface,

wherein the plurality of mufflers respectively include:

a front surface exposed to an inner surface of the pipe conduit;

a bottom surface facing the front surface;

a side surface disposed between the front surface and the bottom surface, and configured to cover a space between the front surface and the bottom surface; and

a plurality of through-holes formed on the front surface, the number of through-holes arrayed in a flow direction of the gas being one or two, and the number of the through-holes arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the gas being 10 or more,

wherein the two through-holes arrayed in the flow direction are disposed to align in the flow direction.

2. The muffling device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the through-holes arrayed in the direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the gas is 20 or less on the front surface.

3. The muffling device according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface is a member integrally formed with the front surface.

4. The muffling device according to claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bottom surface relative to the front surface and adjust volume of a space between the front surface and the bottom surface.

5. The muffling device according to claim 1 , wherein the holding section is formed with a plurality of recessed portions to house the mufflers in a direction parallel to flow of the gas.

6. The muffling device according to claim 2 , wherein the side surface is a member integrally formed with the front surface.

7. The muffling device according to claim 2 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bottom surface relative to the front surface and adjust volume of a space between the front surface and the bottom surface.

8. The muffling device according to claim 3 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bottom surface relative to the front surface and adjust volume of a space between the front surface and the bottom surface.

9. The muffling device according to claim 2 , wherein the holding section is formed with a plurality of recessed portions to house the mufflers in a direction parallel to flow of the gas.

10. The muffling device according to claim 3 , wherein the holding section is formed with a plurality of recessed portions to house the mufflers in a direction parallel to flow of the gas.

11. The muffling device according to claim 4 , wherein the holding section is formed with a plurality of recessed portions to house the mufflers in a direction parallel to flow of the gas.

12. The muffling device according to claim 2 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bottom surface relative to the front surface and adjust volume of a space between the front surface and the bottom surface.

13. The muffling device according to claim 3 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to move the bottom surface relative to the front surface and adjust volume of a space between the front surface and the bottom surface.
