Abstract: A noise suppressor for fluid systems may comprise: a cylindrical housing, having an inlet and an outlet, through which fluid may flow and a baffle assembly disposed in the housing providing a path for the flow of fluid whereby the flow is diverted from one side of the housing to the other as fluid flows between the inlet and outlet. A perforated plate member may also be transversely disposed in the housing between the baffle assembly and either the inlet or outlet.
