The centrifugal Compressor Suction Silencers in Qatar are normally selected on the basis of maximum allowable pressure drop at rated flow and the silencing criteria. These silencers are usually sized for around 5000 to 5500 FPM velocity but not exceeding 7500 FPM velocity to prevent excessive self-generated noise and aerodynamic noise generation. While selecting the centrifugal Compressor Suction Silencers in Qatar , it must be ensured that the flow area throughout the silencer is sufficient to accommodate the air flow without imposing excessive restriction. The following table indicates the maximum recommended air flow in CFM for respective Compressor Suction Silencers in Qatar size in accordance with the above guidelines.
