Different muffler design is possible. MPP can help to improve TL when there is spatial limitation.
14 / 15
Use of a silencer with Microperforated Panel (MPP) lining in HVAC duct noise control was studied
Reliable modeling techniques to design a silencer with MPP linings were suggested
In-line MPP treatment inside a silencer helps in minimizing the pressure-drop as well as improving noise
attenuation
More practical studies will be made in the future.
