HVAC Noise Solutions

CONTROL SYSTEM VIBRATIONS AND MINIMIZE NOISE.

HVAC noise is the most common complaint in a business setting. Your HVAC system does not have to be intrusive.

WHAT ARE HVAC SOUND SOLUTIONS?

Mechanical vibrations throughout a system create HVAC noise. By wrapping pipes and ductwork in specialized material, you can have a quieter system and less ambient disturbance. Adding duct attenuators to ventilating fans, building openings, or sound enclosures can minimize sound interferences.

Key considerations when adding acoustic elements to an HVAC system include:

  • Airflow requirements
  • Current noise level
  • Static pressure loss
  • Type of facility
  • Ease of installation

when using HVAC SOUND SOLUTIONS, the four critical elements are BLOCKING, LONG-TERM DURABILITY, ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE AND ABSORPTION.

1. BLOCKING

Acoustic barriers are used to contain noise within duct work

2. Long-term durability

Rugged, high-quality materials are used to ensure these systems withstand everyday use for years to come

3. Acoustic Performance

Even when hidden within a structure, these products contribute greatly to the enhanced acoustic well-being of facilities and their occupants

4. ABSORPTION

Barriers can be combined with an absorptive layer to reduce noise reverberation

WHY OELEX HVAC SOLUTIONS?

Controlling HVAC noise can be a difficult task. It is critical that airflow design is balanced with acoustic performance. With over 30 years of experience with HVAC and duct design, we know how to strike that balance.

All of our HVAC products are lab-tested and field-proven. Oelex HVAC products are the industry standard for solving noise problems related to HVAC systems.

Lagging is used to wrap the walls of a pipe or duct. These products block noise transmitting as air or other contents move through the system by increasing sound absorption. A reinforced foil-faced exterior serves as a protective jacket for indoor or outdoor applications. The sound absorbing quilted fiberglass absorber/decoupler improves the acoustic performance of the noise barrier and provides sound absorption and thermal insulation around the pipe or ductwork. Installation of OELEX lagging can achieve noise reduction up to 20 decibels. The reinforced pipe wrap facing accepts a matching tape for quick and easy installation.

HVAC silencers mitigate sound when they are installed directly in the ducted air path. While we can customize any silencer, some standard options are rectangular HVAC silencers. These silencers are fabricated with a series of perforated metal baffles filled with a sound absorbing material such as fiberglass, and encased in a solid metal shell. Circular or “conical” silencers are fabricated with an acoustic bullet in the center also filled with a sound absorbing material. For applications requiring a high degree of cleanliness and hygiene, silencers are available with a lined acoustical fill. For industrial applications where corrosive contaminates may be present, packless silencers are available. We can make a silencer to any specification.
