Emerson has introduced the Fisher WhisperTube Modal Attenuator for noisy gasoline or vapour functions, which provides noise reduction in compressible fluid service for improved employee security, with no impression on course of circulate.

The modal attenuator from Emerson is a full-bore gadget providing 15-decibel sound suppression to minimize back noise inside pipes produced by sources upstream, similar to control valves or other devices. It is put in downstream of these units in place of a pipe spool piece, it generates no additional pressure drop, and has no influence on course of flow.
Until now, all solutions have generated significant pressure drop, decreased circulate, and/or launched obstructions. This has led some users to install acoustic insulation to pipe sections to scale back noise, but this could be costly and cumbersome to install, and it does nothing to reduce inside piping noise. Scientifically proven addresses these and other issues with a drop-in solution, bettering employee security and regulatory compliance, while reducing the chance of damage to downstream equipment as a outcome of high noise levels inner to piping.
Leading applications for the modal attenuator embody those where upstream course of flows are modified by management valves, stress aid valves, pumps, compressors and other devices that generate noise. Many of these units must be put in in lengths of piping with no move restrictions downstream, and the modal attenuator works properly in these functions as a outcome of it introduces no such restrictions.
In addition, the modal attenuator does not introduce an obstruction into the piping, so it may be utilized in purposes the place particulates are suspended in process flows, and/or where pigging is required for cleansing and upkeep.
WhisperTube devices are supplied in sizes from 2–12 in, with American Society of Mechanical Engineer (ASME) flange ratings of Class one hundred fifty, 300 and 600. Pressure ratings match the flange rating sizes, and the maximum temperature is 700°F (371° C).
