A muffler having a movable valve disk, with the help of which at least one of the tubes in the muffler housing can be opened and closed. The actuation organ for the valve disk is a corrugated tube, the fixed end of which is placed into an opening in the housing and the interior of which is connected to the atmosphere. As a result, the total pressure loss of the muffler is available as an actuation force.

Muffler with variable damping characteristics

A muffler and an actuating cell provided so that the acoustic properties of the muffler can be changed. The pressure drop in the muffler is fed to the actuating cell as a control pressure. The actuating cell has a plurality of chambers which are separated by diaphragms. Each diaphragm is supported by a spring and each chamber has a pressure connection. A first pressure line feeds the total gas pressure to the overpressure side of the first diaphragm. Another pressure line directs the static gas pressure to the low-pressure side of this diaphragm. Attached to the diaphragm is a piston rod which carries a valve closing element which closes or opens a gas feed pipe.
