This paper discusses some recent developments that make the existing standards on the emission of high-frequency noise in power systems need to be reconsidered. It is shown that it is possible for an equipment to remain below the emission limits while at the same time the disturbance level increases beyond what was intended by the standard document. Further, the change from analog to digital ...

The increasing awareness of the public of environmental issues such as CO2 emissions, carbon footprints and waste recycling has brought the issue of environmental noise to the fore. Many of the demands of modern society result in the creation of noise sources such as larger airports, additional power stations and higher road traffic levels. In addition to this, the expansion of towns and cities, ...

Disposing of nearly 1 million pounds of medical waste a month is no easy task. The wet electrostatic precipitator, installed at Rochester, MN-based Mayo Clinic, seems to be just what the doctor ordered. While the medical waste incinerator at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, consistently met state and federal emission requirements, facility leadership recognized that installing a wet electrostatic ...

Nowadays, one of the most valuable criteria of vehicle quality assessment is based on acoustic emission levels. A vehicle is judged comfortable depending on the noise levels transmitted inside. Consequently, there is a general attention to the design criteria aimed at improving the structural acoustic behaviour, to comply with the increasingly restrictive ergonomic standard. Therefore, it is ...

With reactive silencers, AERZEN reduces the noise emissions on the discharge side of its screw compressors, positive displacement blowers, and rotary lobe compressors. The innovative concept of these reactive silencers is superior to classic dissipative silencers in many respects. The sound waves developing on the discharge side of a Delta Screw compressor made by AERZEN can reach 170 to 190 dB. ...

The next generations of direct injection diesel engines have greatly improved their performances compared with petrol engines. However, one of the pending subjects is the noise and vibration levels, due to working cycle itself. The design effort to reduce the emissions of noise and vibration transmitted to the vehicle's driver could be lessened because of the assembly process variation. In this ...

This paper presents simulation and experimental discussions on conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions for a single-phase full-bridge sinusoidal pulse width modulated (SPWM) and hybrid pulse width modulated (HPWM) inverters. The influences of input dc link voltage, modulation depth and carrier frequency on the conducted noise are studied through ICAP simulation software. HPWM ...

Wastewater and sludge analyses generally require the determination of many elements and are economically performed using ICP-OES, due to the speed and robustness of this technique. Several ICP-OES methods are available for this determination including EPA method 200.7 (1). In the USA, DIN 38 406 E22 (2) in Germany, or ISO 11885 (3) on a global scale. For this type of application, the ...
