Abstract
A compressor recirculation valve having a noise-suppressing muffler. The muffler has a double-walled construction, including a perforated outer wall and a non-perforated inner wall. The muffler is arranged surrounding the RCV such that when the RCV valve member is in an open position, compressed recirculation air is constrained to flow along the non-perforated inner wall and past an upper end thereof before reaching and flowing radially outwardly through the perforated outer wall to a transverse flow passage for delivery back into an inlet of the compressor.
