Modular acoustic blocks and acoustic liners constructed therefrom

Abstract:

An exhaust processing system that includes: an exhaust passageway for directing exhaust gases, the exhaust passageway having passageway walls that define and enclose the exhaust passageway between an upstream position and a downstream position; and an acoustic liner formed against and covering at least one of the passageway walls of the exhaust passageway. The acoustic liner may include uniformly configured modular acoustic blocks fitted against each other. The modular acoustic blocks each may include interior cavities having different lengths configured to dampen targeted sound frequencies.
