Abrégé

Noise attenuating apparatus for housing, inter alia, a compressor and/or condenser unit, the apparatus comprises a substantially box-shaped outer shell and an inner shell which houses the unit. The outer shell is formed with a primary air inlet to receive air into the apparatus and a primary air outlet for discharge of spent air from the apparatus. The inner shell includes an inner chamber and is formed with a secondary air inlet to receive air supplied via the primary air inlet means into the inner chamber to supply air to the unit. The inner shell is also formed with a secondary air outlet opening for flow of spent air from the inner chamber. The space between the inner and outer shells defines a tortuous flow path for the removal of spent air from the apparatus through the primary air outlet means.
