Abstract
A silencer operative for a compressor or a vacuum pump, in particular for a compressor or a vacuum pump that operate according to the displacement principle, which in either case compresses a current of gas, in particular an air current, such that the silencer includes an entrance for the gas current that leaves the compressor, as well as an exit, the silencer including a branching region having an inflow channel which branches into two channel sections, such that a first channel section is constructed as a main conduit to conduct the gas current further, and a second channel section forms a branch that is closed at its end. The branch has an axial preferential direction oriented parallel to the direction of flow of the gas current in the inflow channel, so that the gas current impinges frontally on the branch that is closed at its end.
