Listeroid Engines / Re: QUIET Exhaust - Listeroid - HOW?
« on: October 18, 2019, 11:00:43 PM »
Behind the lister I had a big exhaustgas cooler so the gas exits at cooling water temp, max 90 degr C .
I made the box out of wood / thin plywood lined it with rockwool, inside I have to walls so you have three chambers. a pipe threw these walls in a way that the sound bounces of the opposing wall and cannot enter the next pipe directly.
If you look at a cut open car exhaust same thing only bigger with rockwool. Rockwool was rockfon ceiling plates like the ones they use in offices, but I am sure any kind will work
It was overkill because there was no noise at all even with your ear next to the exhaust.
Had to do it because I live really close to the neighbours.
The flaw of the design, exhaust gasses condensing in the last chamber with hot coolingwater and cold outside temps.
I think the yanmar will be easier to shut up, I am thinking of making a similar design but maybe in an old air compressor tank with a water drain at the bottem...
But rockwool labyrinth you can kill any sound or anyone without disturbing the neighbours.
