ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a composite branch take-off and silencer for an air distribution system wherein an air stream from an input duct may be coupled to an output duct and one or more branch ducts. The take-off and silencer includes two series-coupled sections: a static pressure regain section and a channel section adapted for coupling the input duct to the output duct and the branch ducts. The static pressure regain section outer wall and the outer path-defining wall of the associated channel section have a composite cross section characterized by a continuous curve which results in smooth changes in air flow velocity without discontinuity in either magnitude or direction thereby providing efficient conversion of velocity pressure to static pressure. These continuous curves have a direction component along their length which is increasingly directed radially from the central axis of the input duct. The composite branch take-off and silencer promotes excellent air distribution while substantially reducing the noise normally associated with these systems.
