In the third and final part of this series, I am going to discuss how blower enclosures can be used for silencing noisy blowers. Enclosure Applications Sometimes silencers aren’t enough to silence a really noisy PD blower. An enclosure built around a PD blower provides additional noise attenuation if either the noise from the silencers …
