 CAUSES O SILENCER AILURE
x When the engine stops the silencer cools to normal ambient
temperature there is condensation of the residual fumes and
this initiates the corrosion on the internal surface of the
silencer.

x The (H2O) and oxides of sulphur from the flue gasses

react forming low concentrated (H2SO4) which is highly
corrosive and attacks the welded areas first.

 NEED O INTERNAL ÚAINTING
OR THE SILENCERS

xWhen the vehicle is not running the acid droplets

formed by the chemical reaction of the exhaust gases,
starts accumulating on the inner side of the silencer.
So the metal surface of the silencer starts rusting in
the absence of any protective layer. This causes pits
and holes and ultimately the baffle breaks away
indicating complete silencer failure.
x Noise muffling capacity of the silencer is reduced by
corrosion because it causes prominent holes and pits
in the welded areas which causes the leakage of
sound wave without destructive interference. This
causes unpleasant noise and failure of silencer.

x The perforations of pipes inside get chocked and

prevent smooth passage of gases which will increase
back pressure on the engine reducing its efficiency.

2 While painting the paint accumulates over the baffles
causing non uniformity in paint coating. This problem
is solved by making two small diametrically opposite
openings near the edge of the baffles as shown in
figure.
Œ. To ensure proper attachment of paint filling
nozzle to the tail pipe, a cone shaped structure
may welded to it as shown.

SÚRAY ÚAINTING MACHINE
 DRYING O ÚAINT

x ?

Drying of paint about 80c for 10-15 mins is

known as baking

x ½  

The silencers after internal painting are put into

the oven and heated by using hot air at 180- 250 C
for about 10-15 minutes.
 ADVANTAGES

V Noise muffling capacity can be maintained.

V Life of the silencers increases.

V Efficiency of engine can be maintained.

 CONCLUSION

By making internal painting to the silencers

We can increase the life of the silencers by avoiding
corrosion and also we can reduce the noise .
