An energy attenuation method and apparatus for a system conveying liquid
under pressure. The apparatus is disposed in a liquid conveying structure
of the system and includes first and second outer hose conduits, each of
which respectively defines an associated first and second tuning chamber
each having an inlet end and an outlet end. A tubular conduit
interconnects the two hose conduits such that the chambers communicate
with one another via the tubular conduit. A first tuning tube of
polymeric material is disposed in the first chamber and has a first end
connected to the inlet end of the first chamber for receiving liquid
therein and has a second open end that is spaced from the outlet end of
the first chamber for emptying liquid into the first chamber. A second
tuning tube of polymeric material is mounted in the second chamber and
has a first end connected to the outlet of the second chamber for
conveying liquid thereto and a second open end that is spaced from the
inlet end of the second chamber for receiving liquid conveyed to the
second chamber via the tubing conduit. Seven additional alternative
embodiments of fluid noise attenuation systems are also disclosed.
