Award Winning Fan Noise Control – stealth and efficiency… Self-financing fan silencing – without silencers… Innovative fan noise reduction techniques that have saved £millions in capital and reduced running costs… The efficiency of fans across the planet is often compromised by the silencers fitted to meet noise specifications. There are alternative technologies for many fans that provide you with stealth and efficiency, reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. We can apply our fan silencing technology anywhere in the world from our UK offices using remote analysis techniques.
The annual UK fan power consumption is estimated at well over 30TW-hours. If best practice was applied to fans that require silencing, this could reduce UK CO2 emissions by around 2 million tons per annum. We received the Rushlight Noise Abatement Award for applying our innovative fan noise reduction technology to a project at the Corus Scunthorpe steel-works. As well as eliminating a long-running environmental noise problem, Corus also reduced their capital costs (>£800,000) and running costs (c £200k per annum) compared with silencers.
Leave off the silencer and cut your fan silencing project costs by 50% – 80%
The Corus project is just one example that highlights the benefits of our innovative approach to fan noise control across a wide range of applications. Getting a second opinion from us typically reduces noise control project costs by 50% – 80% – and can even lead to the counter-intuitive result of noise reduction measures that are actually self-financing. Or you could save time by contacting us for a second opinion first….
This is the latest version of our award winning fan noise control technology that reduces tonal noise at source at a fraction of the cost of traditional techniques such as silencers and enclosures. Moreover, it achieves this noise reduction without the increased power consumption associated with conventional silencers, lasts the lifetime of the fan without maintenance and can be retro-fitted with little down-time. Applications include: extract fans, ID fans, chillers, air conditioning plant, process and ventilation fans, HVAC systems…
HVAC – Chiller – Condenser – Cooling Tower Noise Reduction
We have also developed innovative new techniques to control the noise from HVAC and chiller / condenser systems without compromising efficiency. These typically provide around 10dB of additional attenuation compared with conventional noise reduction packages and silencers – and at a fraction of the cost.
