Workplaces tend to evolve over time. While this is a positive in many cases, it can cause problems for noise. For example, you may choose new equipment that alters the noise profile. Or, existing plant may gradually get noisier because of wear and tear. Whatever happens, it’s important to know when you need to rethink your noise strategy to ensure workers aren’t at risk of hearing damage. You may need new tools like attenuators or silencers, new hearing protection, additional training, and more. Continue reading “Do you need to rethink your noise strategy?”
Key industrial attenuator applications
Noise can make industrial settings even more dangerous. It can directly harm people, including damaging their hearing or even causing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, it can interfere with communication and cause distractions, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Because of the seriousness, there are strict regulations for controlling noise. You may need bespoke solutions like an industrial attenuator or silencers. Continue reading “Key industrial attenuator applications”
Examining unbalanced pulsation and the noise problems it can cause
Air compressors are vital in various industries, including agriculture, automotive, food and beverage, and energy. They power machinery and tools, or can complete key tasks like blowing dust and debris from production lines. However, using them can cause problems, particularly noise. It’s important to consider this as it could be a major hazard to employees. You may need different silencers, including an intake silencer and one for the outlet. Plus, you may have to address structure-borne noise. Continue reading “Examining unbalanced pulsation and the noise problems it can cause”
Exploring flow erosion
Steam and condensate pipes are vital for various industries, including oil and gas, power, chemicals manufacturing, and more. It’s their job to move steam and condensate effectively. However, they can experience issues because of flow erosion. Plus, if systems are noisy and you use in-line silencers to improve safety and performance, they can also be vulnerable. So, we want to have a closer look here to explore what you can do. Continue reading “Exploring flow erosion”
Why are HVAC fans so noisy?
Heating and cooling is vital to ensure different properties are comfortable at all times of the year. In larger properties, the HVAC system is key for achieving this. However, it can lead to different issues, such as uneven temperature distributions and noise. It’s important to address these or you may have very unhappy occupants, visitors, and neighbours. Let’s have a closer look at the causes of the noise and solutions like using an inline silencer. Continue reading “Why are HVAC fans so noisy?”
