A set of tubes, having inlets and outlets, is placed on the downstream side of a modulating flow regulator or valve, or plug, or other member in a gas flow line. The inlets collect all of the gas flow from the gas flow line into the tubes. The tubes bend gently and redirect the gas flow so that turbulence is significantly reduced in the tubes and the resulting flow is generally laminar. The tubes are grouped as a bundle downstream and positioned such that the tubes are generally parallel to each other in the proximity of the outlets so that downstream flow is significantly less noisy and turbulent, resulting in a generally laminar gas flow.

[ I claim:] [1.] A turbulence suppression system in a gas flow line comprising:a housing containing a turbulence creating member, said housing adapted to be located along the gas flow line;a plurality of tubes disposed within said housing and having inlet and outlet ends, wherein said inlet ends are located immediately downstream of said turbulence creating member;wherein said inlet ends collectively have sufficient cross-sectional area to, and are positioned to, intercept all of the gas flow past said turbulence creating member;wherein said plurality of tubes are configured to converge with each other; andwherein said plurality of tubes are all parallel to one another and to the gas flow line proximate to said outlet ends.
