Abstract

An object is to provide a silencing system that can achieve both high ventilation performance and high soundproof performance, can silence a plurality of pieces of resonant sound, and has high general-purpose properties since the silencing system does not need to be designed according to a tubular member. The silencing system includes one or more silencers that are disposed in a tubular member provided to penetrate a wall separating two spaces, and satisfies “0<Re[Bn]<1” and “Im[Bn]>0” in a case where a standardized effective modulus of elasticity in an interior space of the tubular member in which the silencers are disposed is denoted by Bn.

Claims (46)

1. A silencing system comprising:

one or more silencers that are disposed in a tubular member provided to penetrate a wall separating two spaces,

wherein the silencer does not have a structure resonating at a first resonant frequency of the tubular member,

“0<Re[Bn]<1” and “Im[Bn]>0” are satisfied in a case where a standardized effective modulus of elasticity in an interior space of the tubular member in which the silencers are disposed is denoted by Bn,

the standardized effective modulus Bn of elasticity is an average value in an octave band in which a first resonant frequency of the tubular member is present, and

a frequency F 0 of first resonance occurring in the tubular member and a resonant frequency F 1 of the silencer satisfy “1.15×F 0 <F 1 ”.

2. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the tubular member is a ventilation sleeve, and

the silencer is disposed at an end portion of the ventilation sleeve between the wall and a decorative plate that is disposed so as to be spaced from the wall.

3. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer includes a conversion mechanism for converting sound energy into thermal energy.

4. The silencing system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the conversion mechanism is a porous sound-absorbing material.

5. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cross-sectional area at a position where the silencer is disposed is larger than a cross-sectional area of the tubular member alone in a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the tubular member.

6. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer includes a cavity portion that communicates with the interior space of the tubular member, and

a total volume of the interior space of the tubular member and the cavity portion of the silencer is larger than a volume of an interior space of the tubular member alone.

7. The silencing system according to claim 6 ,

wherein a total volume of the interior space of the tubular member is 18000 cm 3 or less.

8. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a shortest distance between one space side and the other space side in the ventilation sleeve in which the silencer is disposed is 1.9 times or less a thickness of the wall.

9. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cross section of the tubular member parallel to the wall is 900 cm 2 or less.

10. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a part of a ventilation flue, which is a space capable of being ventilated in the ventilation sleeve in which the silencer is disposed, is positioned on a straight line in a plane direction of a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the ventilation sleeve.

11. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the tubular member is a ventilation sleeve, and

the silencer is disposed at an end portion of the ventilation sleeve between the wall and a decorative plate that is disposed so as to be spaced from the wall.

12. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer includes a conversion mechanism for converting sound energy into thermal energy.

13. The silencing system according to claim 12 ,

wherein the conversion mechanism is a porous sound-absorbing material.

14. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cross-sectional area at a position where the silencer is disposed is larger than a cross-sectional area of the tubular member alone in a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the tubular member.

15. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the silencer includes a cavity portion that communicates with the interior space of the tubular member, and

a total volume of the interior space of the tubular member and the cavity portion of the silencer is larger than a volume of an interior space of the tubular member alone.

16. The silencing system according to claim 15 ,

wherein a total volume of the interior space of the tubular member is 18000 cm 3 or less.

17. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a shortest distance between one space side and the other space side in the ventilation sleeve in which the silencer is disposed is 1.9 times or less a thickness of the wall.

18. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein a cross section of the tubular member parallel to the wall is 900 cm 2 or less.

19. The silencing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein at least a part of a ventilation flue, which is a space capable of being ventilated in the ventilation sleeve in which the silencer is disposed, is positioned on a straight line in a plane direction of a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the ventilation sleeve.
