Rectangular Sound Attenuator, Type PZ and Sound Attenuator Splitters, Type PK

Attenuator casing made of sheet metal

Application
Rectangular sound attenuators, type PZ, are designed for air conditioning and ventilation systems. Splitters are made of nonflammable, sound absorbing rock wool. Significant sound attenuation occurs in frequency range of 63 to 8000 Hz. Splitter surface is resistant to particle erosion up to air velocities of 20 m/s. Splitters are constructed in three standard thicknesses: d = 100 mm, d = 200 mm and d = 300 mm. Rectangular sound attenuators are available in five standard cross-section dimensions: d/s = 100/50; 100/100; 200/100; 200/200 and 300/100. Attenuator casing is made of galvanised steel, fitted with flanges meeting criteria given in the table on page 3. Unless specified on order, flanges are normally supplied without holes. Attenuators heavier than 300 kg are supplied in two or more sections, each single section lighter than 300 kg. All dimensions of sound attenuators and splitters are standardised. On customer's order and at additional cost, they can be manufactured in other required dimensions, and made of stainless steel.

Splitters installed directly into the duct by means of distance strappings

Possible clearances, resulting from the splitter and duct height difference, should be sealed with sound reducing material in order to prevent nonattenuated propagation of sound energy.

The splitter surface - low air-permeability, impermeable for water, prevents erosion (up-lift of mineral wool particles) caused by air circulation. Reflective plates (R) - Half of each side of the splitter (alternatively centre up and centre down) is fitted with galvanised tin plates, giving the splitter better attenuation characteristics at frequency of 250 Hz. Perforated plates (P) - At air velocities higher than 20 m/s, or when polluted air is a medium, the splitters should be fitted with protective perforated galvanised plates, having no significant effect on noise attenuation. Besides given cover types, combined covers are also available (see Ordering example on page 14). Acoustic properties of klimaoprema sound attenuators are tested acc. to ISO 7235, by Heat and Thermal Devices Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb, Croatia.

Absorption material rock-wool, non-flammable, according to Class A2, to HRN (Croatian norms) and DIN 4102, Part 1. Maximum permitted continuous operating temperature is 250C. Due to sound transmission through tin plates of attenuator casing, the highest achievable insertion loss amounts to 40 dB. If a higher value is required, total loss should be divided into two elastically coupled attenuators.

Selection of the Splitter Cover (Lining)

Glass fibre veil (V) - Very thin protective cover on the splitter surface; usual, most frequently applied design. The splitter surface is air-permeable, less permeable for water, prevents erosion (up-lift of mineral wool particles) caused by air circulation.

Round Sound Attenuators, Type PZC and PZC-J

Application

Air inlet coned end (on customers request) the infill from airflow erosion. Standard types: attenuator without soundabsorbing pod (type PZC) or with additional cylindrical, centrally positioned sound-absorbing pod (type PZC-J). In order to improve aerodynamic characteristics, it is advisable to mount the coned end to the flow-exposed side of the pod, what has to be specially indicated on order. Cross-section flow area of the PZC-J attenuator is for about 40% smaller than at PZC-type attenuator.

Cylindrical sound attenuators, type PZC and PZC-J, are intended for use in air conditioning and ventilation systems. They are convenient for installation to suction and discharge side of axial fans, to suction side of radial fans, as well as to circular ducts. The outer casing is made of galvanised sheet steel, filled with sound absorbing material. Inner duct of the attenuator is made of perforated galvanised sheet steel, which protects

Interspace Sound Attenuator, Type PZM

-2

Application
Interspace sound attenuators are intended for noise reduction between the rooms that are physically and acoustically connected by means of air conditioning or ventilation ducts. These sound attenuators may be applied for additional noise reduction, if, for example, main sound attenuator is insufficient. PZM attenuators are tube type attenuators made of galvanised sheet steel, containing sound-absorbing material infill. Isolation infill facing, exposed to airflow erosion, is covered by perforated galvanised sheet steel. Interspace sound attenuators are installed in two arrangement types: - In the main duct passing through all rooms, having no Standard Sizes [mm]

lateral ducts (Fig. 1) - In lateral ducts of the main duct (Fig. 2) The first arrangement is mainly applied in smaller ventilation systems. In that system, due to different air flow rates, connection diameters of attenuators are normally different. All partial air pressure drops are summed up and therefore have to be as low as possible. Each attenuator has to achieve total sound attenuation between two rooms; therefore, very long attenuators are required. In the second installation arrangement, connection diameters are usually the same, and pressure drops are smaller (no serial summing up).

Technical Data
Guideline criteria to be taken into account in sound attenuation calculations: - Basic criteria takes into account sound isolation of a partition wall between two rooms and requires that PZM has an insertion loss (attenuation) equal to or 10 dB higher in each octave than attenuation of the partition wall. - Unrecognised speech and music attenuation criterion requires that sound level of speech or music in the room of interest has to be 10 to 15 dB lower than level of other noise corresponding to NR-curve in all octaves. - If PZM attenuator has to reduce a part of basic noise of the fan from the plant room, its insertion loss (attenuation) has to be tested for that case.

Insertion loss [dB]

Attenuator dimensions: - Attenuator length is derived from the insertion loss (attenuation) per meter length (Diagram 1). - Inner diameter of attenuator is derived from given air flow rate and selected effective air velocity vef , and permitted pressure drop as well (Diagram 2). Air flow regenerated noise through attenuator has to be taken into account too. In each octave it has to be 10 dB lower than permitted level of sound power spectrum after the attenuator (see figure on page 8 of this register).
