What is the primary purpose of mufflers in boiler systems?

The primary purpose of mufflers in boiler systems is to reduce noise. Mufflers are designed to minimize the sound generated by exhaust gases as they exit the system, ensuring a quieter operation. This is particularly important in settings where noise control is a concern, such as residential areas or near sensitive facilities.

While preventing back pressure can be an important aspect of a boiler system, mufflers specifically address the noise produced by exhaust gases rather than actively managing the pressure within the system. Their primary focus is sound reduction, allowing for more efficient and comfortable operation of the boiler without compromising its function.
