Weegy: As the exhaust gases enters in to the aqua silencer, the perforated tube converts highmass bubbles in lo low mass bubbles after that they passes through charcoal layer which again purify the gases. [ It is highly porous and posses extra free valences so it has high absorptioncapacity.After passing over the charcoal layer some of the gases may dissolved in to the water and finally the. exhaust gases escape through the opening in to the atmosphere. Hence aqua silencers reduce noise and pollution. ]

User: detailed specification of aqua silencer

Weegy: An aqua silencer is an attempt in this direction, it is mainly dealing with control of emission and noise. An aqua silencer is fitted to the exhaust pipe of engine. Sound produced under water is less hearable than it produced in atmosphere. [ This mainly because of small sprockets in water molecules, which lowers its amplitude thus, lowers the sound level. Because of this property water is used in this silencer and hence its name AQUA SILENCER. The noise and smoke level is considerable less then the conventional silencer, it is cheaper, no need of catalytic converter and easy to install. CONSTRUCTION Basically an aqua silencer consists of a perforated tube which is installed at the end of the exhaust pipe. The perforated tube may have holes of different diameters. The very purpose of providing different diameter hole is to break up gas mass to form smaller gas bubbles The perforated tube of different diameter is shown in fig. 2. Generally 4 sets of holes are drilled on the perforated tube. The other end of the perforated tube is closed by plug. Around the circumference of the perforated tube a layer of activated charcoal is provided and further a metallic mesh covers it. The whole unit is then placed in a water container. A small opening is provided at the lop of the container to remove the exhaust gases and a drain plug is provided at the bottom of the container for periodically Cleaning of the container. Also a filler plug is mounted at the top of the container. At the inlet of the exhaust pipe a non-return valve is provided which prevents the back flow of gases and water as well. WORKING PRINCIPLE As the exhaust gases enters in to the aqua silencer, the perforated tube converts high mass bubbles in lo low mass bubbles after that they passes through charcoal layer which again purify the gases. It is highly porous and posses extra free valences so it has high absorption capacity. After passing over the charcoal layer some of the gases may dissolved in to the water and finally the. exhaust gases escape through the opening in to the atmosphere. Hence aqua silencer reduces noise and pollution. EFFECTS OF DISSOLVED GASES ON WATER The water is a good absorbing medium. ]
