Abstract

The noise generated by onrushing air which is produced by an air blower for use in conjunction with pneumatic conveying equipment is substantially reduced by directing the air flow through an enclosed housing from an air inlet opening to an air outlet opening mainly via hollow tubular members made of air pervious material shaped in a snake-like or serpentine fashion between the air inlet and the air outlet openings.
