Abstract
Provided is an air passage type silencer that can reduce pressure loss even in a case where the flow rate of a gas flowing in the air passage type silencer is high. An air passage type silencer includes an inlet-side ventilation pipe, an expansion portion that communicates with the inlet-side ventilation pipe and of which a cross-sectional area is larger than a cross-sectional area of the inlet-side ventilation pipe, and an outlet-side ventilation pipe that communicates with the expansion portion and of which a cross-sectional area is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the expansion portion. A level difference d satisfies Equation (1): d≥100 μm, satisfies Equation (2): d≤25×Sa+193 μm in a case where an arithmetic average height Sa is equal to or smaller than 50 μm, and satisfies Equation (3): d≤1450 μm in a case where the arithmetic average height Sa exceeds 50 μm, where Sa (μm) is an arithmetic average height of a surface on a central side in the expansion portion and d (μm) is an average value of level differences between a ventilation pipe interior wall and the surface on the central side at at least one of a connection portion between the expansion portion and the inlet-side ventilation pipe or a connection portion between the expansion portion and the outlet-side ventilation pipe.
