Power Plant Noise Control
HSE Sound control Equipment offer assistance with client power plant noise control needs. HSE offer on-site acoustic engineering, acoustic consulting, sound measurement evaluation & Sound Control Equipment supply & erection work. After the noise sources have been identified, HSE will provide acoustic products.
Common Noise Sources:
- Turbine
- Generators
- Fan Intake & Exhaust (PA, ID, FD fans)
- Motors
- Boilers
- Chillers
- Steam Exhaust
- Centrifugal blowers
- Compressors
- Piping and ducts
Each of the above pieces of equipment has the potential of generating high noise levels. Below is a list of noise problem solutions to address these issues.
- Duct Silencers – It provides a high level of sound reduction in forced airflow applications. Used in stacks, larger ID fans, HVAC Ducts building ventilation and many others. Can be applied as a retrofit or the design stage.
- Mufflers – Same as duct silencers, but applicable to motors or compressed air piping to reduce equipment exhaust noise. Typically applied to chillers, blowers, compressors, generators.
- Acoustical Louvers and Acoustic Attneuators– It Provides sound reduction without restricting airflow in buildings and enclosures. Used in place of standard louvers for a high level of noise reduction.
- Duct and Pipe Lagging – Effective means of reducing breakout noise generated from pipe and ductwork. Piping or ductwork is wrapped with the barrier absorber composite.
- Acoustic Enclosures – The highest reductions in source noise control. It covers the noisy equipment while providing airflow and access for maintenance through Doors & Acoustic attneuators. Enclose blowers, pumps, fans or any equipment generating high noise levels.
- Absorptive Panels – It Reduces noise levels in buildings and enclosed spaces. Typically applied to interior or exterior walls to reduce sound reflected from noisy equipment.
- Sound Barrier Walls – Open top enclosures used to effectively block noise by surrounding noisy equipment while not restricting airflow
