IES 2000 Silencers and Sound Attenuators 

Noise Control for Fans & Exhausts  – This specialty product is designed for intake or exhaust fans of large equipment. Large equipment usually requires a substantial amount of airflow but untreated fan areas can create, and even spread, noise unnecessarily. These sound attenuators handle the noise without affecting needed airflow - they are often called silencers..

Silencers normally contain one or more passages which are lined with sound absorbing materials, incorporated in structures that protect them from erosion from air flow. To attenuate low frequency sounds, thick baffles widely spaced are used; whereas for high frequency sounds, the best absorption is obtained by using thin baffles closely spaced. Middle frequency sounds can be absorbed by both thick and thin baffles, but intermediate thickness baffles are preferred. Increased attenuation, at times, may be achieved by incorporating bends or elbows into the silencer.

Acoustical Ventilation Systems

IES engineers design quiet ventilation systems. Quiet ventilation is needed when breakout 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 facility. 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. These 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, we utilize:

Silenced Turbine Intakes & Exhausts

AIES builds quiet into turbine intake and exhaust systems as part of our total acoustical facility design, treating intake and exhaust noise with:

Inlet and Exhaust Silencers

IES guarantees the quiet performance of the silencers we supply. Our silencers are tested for various DIL's (Dynamic Insertion Losses) to arrive at the silencer design requirements needed to meet the noise level target while maintaining acceptable pressure drops. We installs:

Air Inlet Filtration

Our acoustical, mechanical and structural engineers can design complete air inlet silencing systems, including filter houses of various configurations.

Duct Sound Abatement

Breakout noise and vibrations from intake and exhaust ducts can be enormous depending on engine size. To treat duct noise,IES offers acoustical:

Gas Turbine Silencers

Once and adequate enclosure is in place the silencing of gas turbine installations in industrial environments is basically a problem of attenuating the noise from the atmospheric inlet and the exhaust openings. In installations in residential and rural areas, the sound from the gas turbine enclosure, auxiliaries, and driven equipment also must be considered in the silencing program. Some degree of attenuation can be attained by natural factors, such as divergence, directivity, air absorption, and duct configurations. Further sound control, however, must be obtained through the use of adequate silencers.

Silencers normally contain one or more passages which are lined with sound absorbing materials, incorporated in structures that protect them from erosion from air flow. To attenuate low frequency sounds, thick baffles widely spaced should be employed for optimal performance; whereas for high frequency sounds, the best absorption is obtained by using thin baffles closely spaced. Middle frequency sounds can be absorbed by both thick and thin baffles, but intermediate thickness baffles are more desirable. Increased attenuation, at times, may be achieved by incorporating bends or elbows into the silencer.

It is important to have experience to determine what combination of absorptive and reactive treatment will most economically produce the required acoustic performance. A turbine exhaust system solution must provide materials and designs that enable highly effective low-frequency noise attenuation and tolerate thermal growth, thus giving long, trouble-free performance. Inlet noise, by contrast, has predominantly high frequency content where an absorptive silencer, in series with the inlet filtration system is required to quiet the turbine. The full system approach--acoustic and aerodynamic--is crucial to optimizing the performance of the turbine and minimizing unnecessary costs. IES uses its proven design, engineering, manufacturing and management experience to provide a seamless package which offers the highest filtration efficiency and the most effective noise control.

IES engineers and manufactures noise control and air filtration solutions for gas-fired turbines and diesel engines that are used for stationary and portable power generation applications. IES has a vast portfolio of successes with applications as small as 100 kilowatts to those as large as several hundred megawatts, and has custom-designed systems installed on all major turbine brands, including GE, Siemens-Westinghouse, Pratt & Whitney and ABB.

 

Reactive silencers, Diffuser-type silencers, Active silencers and Dissipative silencers
Reactive silencers have tuned cavities or membranes and are designed to attenuate low frequency noise from machines.
Diffuser-type silencers have perforated pepper pots that slow down velocity and are mainly used for nozels, jet engines etc.
Active silencers use microphones and electronics to determine and attenuate noise. Not frequently used
Dissipative silencers are widely used for HVAC duct systems.

Dissipative silencers consist of a perforated steel envelope containing sound absorptive materials.

Dynamic insertion loss (DIL)

The DIL is the difference between two sound power levels or intensity before and after the silencer has been inserted. 

Self-noise (SN)

The SN are the sound power level in decibels generated by the silencer by a given air flow.
