DESCRIPTION
Vibro-Acoustics’ RED (Rectangular Elbow Dissipative), REFL
(Rectangular Elbow Film Lined) and RENM (Rectangular
Elbow No-Media) silencers incorporate a full 90 degree
and/or a partial bend to fit the duct system configuration.
RED silencers use acoustic grade glass fiber protected by
perforated metal. REFL silencers incorporate a film liner
between the perforated metal and the glass fiber. RENM
silencers do not use glass fiber and are completely void of
any fill material.
APPLICATION
when there is not enough space for straight silencers
(straight silencers should not be located within three diame-
ters of duct elbows or bends)
in supply, return or exhaust ductwork
in fan plenums and air handling units (both supply and
return)
on the receiver side of valves, dampers,
terminal boxes, etc.
economical substitution for acoustically lined duct (see
SAS 10)

TESTING
Vibro-Acoustics’ 4th generation aero-acoustic laboratory was media protection: glass fiber cloth
specially designed to enable a wide variety of tests, including high transmission loss (HTL) casings to prevent
Elbow Silencer testing. It was the first break-out/break-in noise
laboratory to be NVLAP accredited for the ASTM E-477 silencer built in transitions
