Acoustical
Ventilation Systems
ATCO Noise Management's mechanical
engineers design quiet ventilation systems every day. Silenced ventilation
is needed when breakout of internal noise is a problem or when the
ventilation system itself is the dominant noise source.
Industrial equipment creates heat build-up
inside an enclosure, or a building. Channeling air over the equipment
supplies cooling and removes heat. Noise from equipment inside the
building escapes through openings that intake and exhaust cooling air. Intake and exhaust openings must be silenced
if it is not to disturb the surrounding environment.
In some cases, the interior of the
building is quiet but noise from the large ventilation fans that
bring in and expel air is a problem that must be attenuated.
To treat noise breakout or fan noise,
our engineers may utilize:
- Quiet fans (axial or radial)
- Acoustically lined ridge vents
- Acoustically lined weatherhoods
- Acoustical plenums
- Acoustical louvers
- Custom-designed silencers
