For many project managers and business owners, one of the biggest worries about investing in a generator has been noise control. Noise Pollution is a true issue in different parts of the world and just like air pollution; it can have negative impacts on the people it reaches.
But just like carbon emissions have been strikingly lessened in the past few decades due to engineering developments and rigorous regulations, contemporary sound attenuation technology is now able to lessen much of the engine noise emitted when a generator set is running thanks to the use of an exhaust generator silencer.
Depending on the ambience of your amenity, the local ordinances and the application you might need a high-end level of silencing, or minimal sound dampening might suffice with a construction barrier.
If a new generator set is of an open configuration, it generally won’t come with a silencer, but many manufacturers provide them as accessories. Use the following information to learn about the different types of generator silencers available these days and whether adding a silencer to your generator set or chassis dynamometer system is worthy.
Silencer ratings have evolved over time to make it simpler for end users to have a precise understanding of the sound attenuation to expect with a silencer. The placement of the generator is a vital facet of silencer performance, as sound level quality is generally awarded based on a distance of 7m or 23 feet.
You will have to remember while shopping for sound blocking panels, as purchasing a hospital or extreme quality silencer might overkill if you have sufficient space for sound to dispel naturally before reaching human ears and you can get with an inferior quality silencer.
Local ordinances, OSHA guidelines, and other needs will set the parameters on how much sound you can legally and safely permit.
