Z Duct Sound Attenuation

It is only in larger ducts and at higher frequencies the attenuation is considerable.

Z duct sound attenuation.

Our noise reducing attenuators. Under normal incidence sound waves the best attenuation is obtained when the acoustic impedance matches the air characteristic impedance z 0 ρ 0 c 0 where ρ 0 is the air density and c 0 is the sound velocity hereinafter all the impedances are normalized by z 0. In theory noise reduction is effective for low frequencies usually below 300 hz. By ensuring testing of our attenuators we are able to guarantee noise reduction performance of any unit.

The insulation you use outside the duct helps. We have designed paroc invent slabs specifically for noise reduction in ducts. In situations where you need to reduce the noise transportation in air flow use faced paroc invent slabs which you install inside the duct. Attenuation in lined and unlined ducts at different sizes and frequencies are indicated in the table below.

Sound attenuation in ducts. The sound attenuation in 10 m duct is 10 m 0 35 db m 3 5 db. The sound attenuators should have adequate silencing capabilities low air resistance and be as small as possible. Ducts work as a sound carrying channel spreading sound from one room to another.

Example sound attenuation in a duct elbow. Here at caice we take attenuator development and testing seriously which is why we are the only company in the uk that had undertaken ukas accredited attenuator testing measuring static and dynamic performance fully in accordance with bs en iso 7235. With the introduction of vdi 6022 specific hygiene requirements for room air conditioning systems were required for the first time. They cancel sound by feeding back an additional noise source that is 180 degrees out of phase with the original noise.

Splitters and splitter attenuators from trox are certified for use in room air conditioning systems in accordance with vdi 6022 parts 1 and 3 din. Active duct attenuators operate electronically by means of microprocessors loudspeakers and microphones. The sound attenuation in a rectangular 600 x 600 mm unlined duct is 0 35 db m for frequency 250 hz. Sound attenuation is nothing but the reduction of intensity of sound by using active sound attenuation or passive sound attenuation.

These are lumped into general categories including ducts elbows plenums branches silencers end effects and so forth. The past researches on sound absorption with new materials were focused on absorbing panels or on the reflection at tube ends. Sound power level attenuation in an elbow is caused by sound reflection.
