Innovative Fan Noise Control - no silencers, reduced power consumption
New technology developed by the INVC reduced the noise from a 2 storey ID fan at the 50MW Schiller biomass power station in the USA by 90% at a fraction of the cost of conventional silencing. Remarkably, the fan power consumption was also reduced. The technology is based on the design of aerodynamic aids that reduce the noise at source inside the fan casing and is applicable to centrifugal fans of all sizes. Maintenance free, you can often also dispense with acoustic enclosures and lagging – and dispense with the reduction in fan efficiency often associated with traditional silencers.
