ASC In-Line Mufflers
are used to quiet HVAC noise, and to limit sound leakage via the
HVAC system. Each situation is different, yet the principle used
to quiet the noise is always the same. Acoustic grade fiberglass
is used to absorb noise within the HVAC system and convert it into
heat energy. The muffler on your car or truck also uses fiberglass
to absorb almost all of the noise generated by your engine.
When ASC builds an In-Line Muffler, it's always a custom design
based on your application and needs. Recording studios use In-Line
Mufflers to quiet the rushing air sound generated by their HVAC
system. Studio live rooms can leak unwanted sound into other rooms
that are supposed to be quiet. ASC Mufflers can help.
The design for each Muffler is based on the physics and science
of acoustics, removing all guess-work from the equation. Then the
ASC factory in Eugene, Oregon goes to work building the order to
the highest specifications. All fiberglass is fully encapsulated
by a Typar covering to prevent glass fibers from getting into the
air. Some designs may be baffled, some may be flow through as shown
to the left.
In each case, care is given to the exact customer needs for the
application. Some Mufflers are used within ceiling cavities, some
are placed within walls.
