Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0897060A2] The case of an intake silencer system includes a first case half and a second case half coupled to each other at mating faces, with an intake duct clamped between the mating faces. The intake duct opens into a resonant chamber within the case, so that noise is damped by a resonant effect. Three ribs are provided on an inner surface of the first case half, thereby defining four subsidiary silencing chambers each functioning as a side branch for producing a resonant effect to obtain a silencing effect in a wide frequency range. The ribs also contribute to an enhancement in rigidity of the wall surfaces of the case. <IMAGE>
