GENSET ROOM ACOUSTIC TREATMENT
Reciprocating engine-powered generator sets produce noise and vibration like many rotating machinery types. Whether these generator sets run continuously in prime power applications or only occasionally in standby applications, their operating sound levels often must be reduced to comply with local and government regulations. In Malaysia, installing the Diesel Generator Set must get written approval from the Department of Environment (DOE).
HOW THE GENSET ROOM ACOUSTIC TREATMENT IS DONE?
Three major noise sources produce generator set noise:-
- Engine noise – This is mainly caused by mechanical and combustion forces and typically ranges from 100 dB(A) to 121 dB(A), measured at one meter, depending on the size of the engine.
- Radiator Fan noise – This results from the sound of air being moved at high speed across the engine and through the radiator. Its level ranges from 100 dB(A) to 105 (A) dB at one meter.
- Engine exhaust – Without an exhaust silencer, this ranges from 120 dB(A) to 130 dB(A) or more and is usually reduced by a minimum of 15 dB(A) with a standard silencer.
ACOUSTIC EQUIPMENT TO BE USED FOR GENSET ROOM TREATMENT
ISTIQ Intake Silencers/Louvers
To reduce noise transmission through the air intake openings for the generator room, use ISTIQ Duct Silencer as Intake Silencers.
ISTIQ Discharge Silencers/Louvers
To reduce noise transmission through the air discharge from radiator openings of the generator, use ISTIQ Duct Silencer as Discharge Silencers.
ISTIQ Exhaust Silencers/Mufflers
To reduce noise transmission through the exhaust gas flow, Exhaust Silencers are installed between the exhaust outlet openings of the generator and the end of the exhaust tail pipe.
ISTIQ Acoustic Doors
A generator room Acoustic Door provides sound insulation and prevents noise transmission between the generator room and other building areas or the surrounding environment.
Vibration Isolators
To reduce noise transmission, Spring or Rubber Isolators are installed under the generator set skid to reduce the noise transmitted through the generator room floor.
