The key to effective cooling tower noise reduction is accurate diagnosis. Far too often, noise control measures are selected without a clear understanding of -
- the type of noise problem: is it simply the overall dB(A) level or is there tonal character such as a low-frequency hum?
- the source of the noise: fan (broadband or tonal); falling water; pumps (often tonal) and/or gearbox noise (tonal)
As a result, far too many noise control projects end in costly failure or go through a number of iterations before the problem is solved. Accurate diagnosis is not rocket science. Forward a few photographs and a smartphone video clip to us by email and we can provide a precise and accurate remote noise control diagnosis plus the optimum costed noise control options within an hour. At no cost.
There is also new low-cost aerodynamic technology that cuts the noise from cooling tower fans whilst often improving efficiency (unlike silencers and barriers that reduce efficiency).
