New Exhaust
System Sizing Program
Silex
Innovations Inc., a leader
and innovator in the manufacturing
of silencers and exhaust systems
for power generation and gas
compression markets, announces
a major advancement in the
sizing and selection of exhaust
systems for diesel and natural
gas engines.
This revolutionary new program
is the fastest and easiest
way to select the appropriate
silencer from a database of
engines and gensets. It also
takes the time and frustration
out of calculating pressure
loss through each system component
and at the same time predicting
overall acoustical performance
at specific distances.
 The web
based program is a significant
enhancement to
Silex’s current sizing
program and is now available
over the internet. “Moving
the program to a browser based
system on our own servers gives
us the ability to keep the
databases current as well as
have a state of the art platform
for future program enhancements” stated
Lorne Gauer, President of Silex
Innovations Inc. “Another
major benefit to this type
of system is that our customers
can now instantly access the
program from anywhere in the
world with a simple click of
the mouse”.
Silex
worked closely with Agora
Consulting Partners Inc.
(www.agorainc.com) in designing
the program. Agora’s
professionalism and experience
with this type of advanced
application combined with Silex’s
in-depth knowledge of the product
requirements enabled the program
to be developed and launched
quickly. Agora not only acted
as the programming resource
for the project but also assisted
with the network info structure
to support the application.
Some of
the program’s
major features include:
o Access to an up to date engine
database of hundreds of diesel
and gas engines from major
OEM manufacturers such as Caterpillar,
Cummins, Kohler, Detroit Diesel,
Waukesha, Generac and Mitsubishi.
These databases are being updated
constantly and continue to
grow.
o Database of pre-engineered
silencers from standard
Industrial Grade (15
to 25 dBA) to high
performance Super Hospital
Plus (45-55 dBA) including
reactive, low profile,
low pressure drop,
hockey puck,
power puck, spark arrestor
and absorptive silencer
designs.
o Automatic silencer
selection based on
the characteristics
of the engine or
genset model
and application environment.
 o Users have the
ability to select
single inlet,
dual inlet
or dual silencer
configurations.
o
Optional user defined engine
information
that allows the
user to enter
and size exhaust systems
for
non-database
engine
models.
o Built-in warning
messages and
error checking
to ensure
each component
fits into the
overall system
design. o Online comparison
of silencer
grades and series based
on backpressure
and acoustical
performance.
o Acoustic
and pressure
loss
predictions
based on
your
exhaust
component
selections.
o Automatic
flex or
wye
connector
selection
based on
engine
outlet
configuration
and
the silencer
inlet configuration.
o Hyperlinks
to specification
sheets,
price
lists,
product
sales
drawings
and general
arrangement
drawings.
o Enhanced
piping
and
exhaust
component
selections
with
user
defined
options.
o Acoustical
predictions
by
octave
band
based
on
distance
and
elevation.
o
Ability
to
save,
duplicate
and
recall
projects
by
user.
o
Improved
Project
Summary
and
Bill
of
Material
Reports. The program
is designed to make our customers’ job
easier and Silex is not finished
yet. Silex is committed to
continually enhancing the program
based on the feedback and requirements
of our customers.
