T. W. Rimmer and R. J. Anderson In-Duct Measurement of Centrfugal Fan Sound Power, ASHRAE, Sept. 1976. [Pg.115]

I oise Transmission Reduction in HVACSystems. One common use of sound-absorbing treatment is to reduce noise transmission in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems (6). The treatments ate used to reduce the transmission of fan noise and air turbulence noise through ducts into occupied spaces. Noise transmission reduction in duct systems is described in terms of insertion loss, the difference in sound power level or sound pressure level measured at a given location before and after installation of the treatment or sound attenuation, the reduction in sound power between two locations affected by a sound source. The units ate decibels. [Pg.313]

Two usehil measures of the performance of a sound-isolating constmction are sound transmission loss (TL) and noise reduction (AIR). Sound transmission loss is defined as follows, where IH is the incident sound power (Watts) on the source side of the specimen, and W is the transmitted sound power on the receiving side (7). [Pg.315]

When measuring the noise level, i.e. the limiting mean sound power level in dB for airborne noise emitted by a machine, reference may be made to the following lEC and ISO publications ... [Pg.259]

Therefore, with constant (steady-state) sound power, p decreases when r increases, nor linearly, hut quadratically. [Pg.795]

Octave band frequency The band in frequency scale that is split into bands, each assigned a sound power level, that is twice the power level of the lower limit. [Pg.1462]

Sound intensity The sound power distributed over unit area, in units of W m -. [Pg.1477]

Sound power The rate at which sound energy is produced at the source, given in watts. [Pg.1477]

P[3 = P[ = fan input power D = fan size (impeller or wheel diameter) N = fan speed Nj = fan specific speed p = fan air density Q = fan flow rate Kp = compressibility coefficient L, = sound power level Pjt = fan total pressure Pjy = fan velocity pressure Pj-s = fan static pressure... [Pg.559]

Sound power is the total energy emitted from a fan that is a function of the fan s speed and point of operation and is independent of the fan s installation and surrounding environment Sound power level is the acoustical power expressed in decibels (dB) radiating from a source. Sound power can be converted into predictable pressure levels (dBA) after the acoustical environment surrounding the fan is defined. Sound pressure for a specific fan varies with... [Pg.562]

The power of a source (measured in watts) can be similarly expressed in terms of decibels (in this case, called the sound power level) ... [Pg.651]

It can thus be seen that it is important not only to express the unit but also to state sound pressure level, sound intensity level or sound power level. [Pg.651]

If specified, the vendor shall provide both maximum sound pressure and sound power level data per octave band for the equipment. Control of the sound pressure level (SPL) of all equipment furnished shall be a joint effort of the purchaser and the vendor having unit responsibility. The equipment furnished by the vendor shall conform to the maximum allowable sound pressure level specified. ISO 3740, ISO 3744 and ISO 3746 may be consulted for guidance. [Pg.30]

In the context of acoustics the power level is called the sound power level and given the symbol Lw, and the reference power P0 = 1 pW. [Pg.79]

From the standpoint of sound toxicity, the most important properties of sound are power (or loudness) and frequency (or pitch). Sound power is usually expressed in terms of a logarithmic scale known as the decibel scale and is given by... [Pg.2018]
