A. Entry Cone
Hot exhaust gases entering the tapered inlet
section are actually accelerated as they pass through the perforated
cone into the outer core area. The perforation pattern and entry
angle are specifially engineered into each product to provide
optimum airflow characteristics.
The sound energy is reflected and redirected back
into itself as well as into the outer thermal core by the carefully
selected taper angle of the entry cone.
B. Laminar Flow Area
The hot exhaust gases are released and allowed to
expand into this section in multiple layers due to the tapered angle
of the entry cone. This produces a controlled laminar flow pattern,
that reduces turbulence inside the muffler.
Sound waves lose energy in this section through
the expansion of the exhaust gases and reflective angles of the
cones which direct the waves into the thermal barrier material.
C. Thermal Barrier
The thermal barrier between the outer core section
and muffler case provides a portion of the mufflers sound energy
absorbtion characteristics. This thermal barrier is engineered to
deliver much lower exterior case temperatures, allowing the muffer
to be placed closer to heat sensitive areas
D. Exit Cone
The increased surface area and angle of the
tapered exit cone provides an “easy exit” for the hot exhaust gases
that encourages the flow out of the muffler. The carefully selected
taper angle of the exit cone directs and focuses the sound energy
back into iteself. This convergence of sound waves reduces the sound
level as it passes out of the muffler.
