6 FAQs about [Design of generator exhaust and sound absorption structure]
How do you muffle noise from a generator?
The most common device used to muffle noise from generators is acoustical enclosures. Typical sound attenuated generator enclosures consist of panels that are multi-layered composite treatments comprising of an impervious exterior layer as well as a layer of porous sound absorption material facing towards the inside of the equipment.
How does sound attenuation affect a generator?
Any amount of sound attenuation applied to a generator set will alter the noise produced by the engine and yield a more tolerable deadened sound characterized by a rush of air rather than a mechanical or fan noise of a high-speed diesel or gas engine.
How do you reduce reflected sound in a generator?
Installing an absorption surface over hard surfaces in most generators can reduce some of the reflected sound. In a room with hard surfaces, soft materials such as absorbent ceiling panels, floor rugs or carpeting, and blinds or special absorbent wall coverings, will reduce noise by reflecting sound.
Will a sound attenuated enclosure work with multiple generator sets?
When sizing multiple enclosures for more than one generator set, whether it is a sound attenuated or weatherproof enclosure, it is advisable to make a decision based upon the worst case data so that the sound attenuated enclosures will work with all generator sets considered for the project.
How to reduce acoustic noise in an internal combustion engine?
The exhaust noise of the internal combustion engine reflecting the acoustic energy is reduced by the use of a silencer and damping paths. Acoustic properties of absorption material and the geometric dimensions of its parameters are taken into account in the design of the muffler.
How loud is a generator enclosure?
When looking at generator enclosure designs it is best to insist the enclosure structure is engineered in such a way that there are no points at which noise measured is more than 3-5 db (A) higher than the promised average.
