Anyone who has ever worked around commercial HVAC equipment knows that the powerful and robust nature of said equipment often leads to excess noise. While numerous options exist to attenuate these machines, this can be costly and many managers are skeptical about inhibiting the way their HVAC units perform.

Given that modifying existing machinery can be an expensive, risky, and time-consuming process, many are interested in investing in other methods. And while reflecting this unwanted noise via common materials like wood or brick has been a common strategy for many years, our » absorptive noise barrier technology is becoming a more attractive option.

Noise Reflection vs. Noise Absorption

Most » HVAC noise reduction»  barriers in the past have been designed to reflect sound away from the facility. However, this can create problems for neighboring communities that have the noise sent their way. Given that commercial locations have come under criticism for this unfortunate side effect of reflection-based noise reduction, new methods have been developed. By utilizing » noise » absorbing material, companies can eliminate the issue altogether without creating disturbances at nearby areas.

Effective Solutions for a Variety of Industrial Machines

HVAC units come in all shapes and sizes, and most large scale commercial applications require multiple units. Whether the need is for cooling tower, evaporator or » chiller noise reduction, sound absorbing materials are typically a good solution. Not only are they effective, but they can be installed in a timely and affordable manner.
