Vibration Control Applications on Environmental XPRT

Noise and vibration pollution control for mining industry

In a process unique to the mining industry, mineral ore must be extracted and conveyed to a means of transportation in a challenging environment. This involves the use of high-power fixed and mobile equipment with complex kinematics. The entire process is carried out in cyclic and variable operating conditions with significant safety and accessibility constraints. Mining operations are also a source of noise and vibration pollution both for site workers and people in the surrounding area.

Noise and vibration pollution control for wind power industry

As a major source of renewable energy, wind turbines are continuing to experience exponential growth, with a production capacity that is doubling every three years. Reliability and the optimisation of maintenance have become major economic challenges for wind turbine operators.

Noise and vibration pollution control for paper industry

The paper industry depends upon a continuous industrial process in which the paper machine is the central factor. This system is based on several variable speed rollers mounted on roller-bearing blocks, and damage to a single block can be enough to shut down production for several hours.

Noise monitoring solutions for vibration testing

Vibration testing is is used for aerospace and defence testing, ground transportation, transport simulation, package testing, altitude simulation and more. Our comprehensive range of LDS electrodynamic shakers are designed for vibration testing of devices of any size - from a semiconductor component to a complete satellite system, to see how it will stand up to real-world conditions. With an LDS vibration test system your shaker, power amplifier, vibration controller and even environmental chamber are not only controlled from one PC, they run under one software package. Combined with data acquisition systems and analysis software suites, Brüel & Kjær ofers the complete vibration testing solution to establish proof of quality according to national and international standards, such as DIN, ISO, BS, MIL, IEC and ASTM.

Noise monitoring solutions for Pass-by noise testing

Traditional Field Pass-by measurements are still the only way to certify a vehicle for exterior noise emission during operation, but Indoor Pass-by provides an extremely powerful and repeatable method of troubleshooting exterior vehicle noise in the controlled environment ofan anechoic chamber.

Pulsar noise testing equipment for workplace sector

Workplace noise monitoring is an interesting subject that can appear complex, but it is always worth remembering what you are trying to achieve. This can be summarised as: ““Minimising or avoiding the risk of noise-induced hearing loss in the workplace to comply with local, noise-based, legislation”” Such legislation is usually based on a European Directive that is then modified to suit the needs of each particular country. For example, in the United Kingdom, the ‘The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005’ are based on the European Union Directive 2003/10/EC; usually called “The physical agents (noise)” directive and expanded upon by the Health & Safety Executive.

Noise and vibration monitoring for the construction site

By implementing a noise and vibration monitoring system, the impact of construction site activities can be managed by: Complying with legal requirements relating to public health sanctioning the absence of appropriate precautions to limit abnormally high levels of noise and vibrations. Taking environmental quality considerations into account (HQE approach). Limiting noise and vibration pollution with the comfort of neighbouring residents in mind. Enabling companies in the public works and construction industry to adopt a transparent approach to communication with local residents, in order to avoid resistance and instead gain their support for a given project. Providing the site manager with reliable and official data, should it be required. 01dB offers solutions for construction professionals to suit the requirements of each building site. It provides them with metrological systems (such as the certified DUO sound level meter, dB4 and MR2002) with 01dB WebMonitoring services to ensure optimal control of noise & vibration impact of the construction work, using as well communication tools intended for the general public.

Primary air control for coal-fired power plants

Power Generation Combustion Air Measurements: The need for accurate, repeatable & reliable combustion air measurements in power generation plants is critical to efficient operation and safety throughout the entire facility and processes. Coal-fired power plant applications pose a number of challenges to obtaining these critical flow measurements includ¬ing large ducts, limited metering runs, poor velocity and temperature profiles, high vibration, temperatures up to 750° F and dirty `Fly Ash` laden air.
