Abstract

See full text

A tunable, noise-attenuating resistive silencer assembly for use with an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The resistive silencer assembly incorporates a resistive silencer material. The assembly includes an intake duct having air inlet and outlet ends, an acoustic absorbing material support structure positioned between the air inlet and air outlet ends, and an acoustic absorbing element supported by the acoustic absorbing material support structure. The acoustic absorbing element has a defined and non-amorphous shape. The air enters the air inlet end, passes by the acoustic absorbing material, and exits the air outlet end. The acoustic absorbing element is formed from a foam material that may be open cell or closed cell. If open cell foam, the material may be either a low density or high density polyurethane foam. If closed cell foam, the material may be crushed, closed-celled ethylene propylene dieme or polyvinyl nitrile foam.
