Industrial noise pollution comes from many sources. Due to this, it can prove difficult to keep noise levels to a minimum. It is especially tricky if you lack the right equipment. Ventx is an establishment that can help here. We can do so by supplying an extensive list of silencers. We excel at vent silencer design in particular, ensuring we can keep the noise down in systems with vents.
Ventilation noise
When dealing with noisy ventilation systems, you’ll want to use a silencer. Specifically, you need a duct silencer. It is the most effective option because the silencers lower noise transmitted inside vent ductwork. Other names for duct silencers include mufflers, sound traps, or sound attenuators.
Sound attenuators inside ventilation ductwork are installed close to sources that create noise. These include air conditioning and ventilation equipment. Examples of these are fire and air dampers, air flow regulators, air handling units, and fans.
You can install duct silencers in visible spots. This is thanks to the full compatibility with other components of the vent system and aesthetic design. They’ll be part of the exposed ductwork.
The cause of ductwork noise
We should also talk about the causes of the ductwork’s noise. Primarily, the sound in the ducting is the result of air handling equipment as well as noise moving from one room to another. Yet, the noise creation can also be the caused by the passage of air through straight ducts alongside the impact of air moving through components. Said components include mixing boxes, branches, and bends.
To ensure spaces are quieter and less disruptive, you must lower the noise from the ventilation system. Thus, it is a really wise idea to incorporate a vent silencer into your system project.
Duct silencers allow for maintaining proper acoustic parameters in spaces. They even lower noise in rooms needing a high level of acoustic comfort, like reading or sleeping rooms. The noise may not solely be from the air flow through the ducts. It can also be caused by badly insulated mountings of fans. Or, it could be due to incorrect suspension of the ducts. You likely need to address these issues as well as installing silencers.
Acoustic silencers should be a major component of every ventilation system. The duct silencers are primarily designed to attenuate sounds in ventilation ducting. In most instances, you mount them between the fan and the exhaust or diffusing fan and before the air diffusers. It’s best to install duct silencers behind flow regulators and fans.
You can use the sound attenuators in main ductwork runs or additional inline branch-offs as needed. They’re created to silence the sound produced by the flow of air in dampers, T-pieces, or elbows.
