ABSTRACT:
A gas generator10contains a baffle assembly for cooling of gases. An imperforate housing46is contained within the gas generator10. A perforate housing30is contained within the imperforate housing46. At least one orifice70/72is formed within the baffle assembly, where the orifice70/72is formed at the juncture57of the baffle assembly12and the perforate housing30, at a second end of the perforate housing30. Upon activation of the gas generator10, gases produced are shunted through the orifice70/72and into the baffle assembly12for cooling and filtration thereof.
