For Some, Back to School Means Uninsulated HVAC Equipment, Unwanted Noise
Students, teachers, and staff are returning to school, which means school Uninsulated HVAC equipment conditioning the air inside their buildings will cause sound to emanate across classrooms and offices. Initially, students and teachers might hear the noise, but, as...
THE SOUND OF SILENCE: REMOVABLE ACOUSTIC BLANKET INSULATION FOR TRANE CHILLERS
Removable acoustic blanket insulation is proven to reduce noise levels for a variety of equipment (including TRANE® Chillers) at office buildings, high-rise apartments, and manufacturing plants. Oftentimes, the goal of noise reduction is meeting OSHA and/or zoning...
With Honeywell and Danfoss introducing new scroll compressors, acoustic blankets need a second look
Late last year, Environment + Energy Leader reported that Honeywell and Danfoss were developing new scroll compressors to reduce greenhouse gases using Honeywell’s Solstice® ze and Solstice refrigerant® N15 for chiller and heat pumps in commercial buildings. According...
Can Blanket Insulation Lower Noise Levels on Equipment?
Acoustic blanket insulation can lower noise levels on equipment by capturing sound energy through sound reflection and absorption. The combination of sound reflection and absorption is the key to blanket insulation noise reduction. Each application is slightly...
Reusable Acoustic Blankets Reduce Chiller Noise for College Classes
Reusable Acoustic Blankets Reduce Chiller Noise for College Classes June 4, 2021"Just as thermal insulation keeps in heat, acoustic insulation blankets keep in sound. Just covering a compressor isn’t enough to reduce chiller noise unless an insulation maker also pays...
