Plenum chamber
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Plenum_chamber an entity of type: WikicatSuperchargers
A plenum chamber is a pressurised housing containing a fluid (typically air) at positive pressure. One of its functions is to equalise pressure for more even distribution, compensating for irregular supply or demand. It is typically relatively large in volume and thus has relatively low velocity compared to the system's other components. In wind tunnels, rockets, and many flow applications, it is a chamber upstream on the fluid flow where the fluid initially resides (approximately at rest). It can also work as an acoustic silencer. Examples of plenum chambers include those used with:

Examples of plenum chambers include those used with:
* Superchargers
* Hovercraft
* Corliss steam engines
* Raised floors and false ceilings in equipment rooms
* Some organs (to supplement the bellows)
* A number of aerophones, such as the bag of bagpipes and the slow air chamber of the Native American flute
* Plenum chamber anesthetic vaporizers
* , which may have a section near the nozzle that is free of the propellant charge to improve mixing and combustion
