Introduction Maintaining appropriate sound levels in occupied spaces contributes to a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. While HVAC systems contribute to the overall comfort level of occupants in the space by controlling the temperature and humidity of the indoor air, they can also negatively impact comfort by generating excessive noise if not designed properly. Noise is produced in an HVAC system by various sources, including fans/motors and air moving through ductwork and fittings. The sound propagates from the ductwork into the occupied building spaces through two means: radiated and ductborn sound. Radiated sound propagates out in all directions from the sheet metal housing of duct, fans and fittings; this is sometimes called breakout sound. Ductborn sound travels through ductwork and eventually enters occupied spaces through room air outlets. Ductborn sound in HVAC systems must often be reduced to achieve acceptable comfort levels in occupied spaces. The primary type of sound attenuating device is an Absorptive (also called Dissipative) silencer. These devices typically use a baffle arrangement with acoustic fill material to attenuate sound. The sound energy is partially transformed into heat as the air passes through fibers in the filler material. Attenuators are specially designed for particular applications, including low pressure drop, low frequency hospital/clean room applications, elbow installations and packless models using no absorptive fill material. Selecting an Attenuator When selecting a sound attenuator, the engineer needs to know the level of sound attenuation that must be achieved in each octave band. The human ear is most sensitive to sounds in the frequency range of 1 kHz to 4 kHz. Air velocity, pressure drop and airflow direction (supply, return or exhaust fan systems) are all considerations that influence the level of sound attenuation that is achievable when selecting a sound attenuator. Sound attenuators are available in several different lengths. A longer attenuator is used when greater sound attenuation is required, but it is achieved at the expense of additional pressure drop. Appendix A contains catalog information supplied by AeroSonics a leading provider of sound control products for the HVAC industry. Below is an explanation of the methodology used to select a sound attenuator using the charts provided in AeroSonics catalog:
Example A supply duct has a velocity of 500 fpm and requires at least 34 dB of sound attenuation
th
in the 5 Octave Band (1,000 Hz). The maximum allowable pressure drop through the attenuator is 0.10 in w.c. Select an appropriate model from AeroSonics HP line of sound attenuators. Solution The table below was extracted from AeroSonics catalog in Appendix A. It shows Dynamic Insertion loss (dB) vs. velocity (fpm) for the Model HP-36. At 500 fpm, the pressure drop is 0.05 in w.c., which is less than the maximum allowable of 0.10 in w.c. (OK) At 500 fpm (gray horizontal row) and 1K Hz (gray vertical column), the resulting Dynamic Insertion Loss is 36 dB, which is greater than the minimum required of 34 dB. (OK)

Surface Burning Characteristics Local building codes may require fire testing of ducting components used in occupied spaces; this applies to the sound absorbing materials in the sound attenuators also. Sound attenuator manufacturers typically publish ASTM E-84 test results for Flamespread and Smoke Developed. ASTM E-84 uses a 10 minute surface flame test to determine the degree to which a test specimen allows the spread of flames and the development of smoke relative. The performance of the test specimen is compared to the benchmark materials (mineral fiber cement board and red oak flooring) to determine Flamespread and Smoke Developed ratings.
Independent Testing It is very difficult to obtain accurate sound measurements in the field due to outside noise sources or break-in noise. Sound attenuators should be tested in accordance with ASTM E477 Standard Method of Testing Duct Liner Materials and Prefabricated Silencers for Acoustical and Airflow Performance using an independent testing laboratory.

Sound Attenuator Installation Instructions

Typical connections to ducts for single units include: Slip or lap joint using screws and sealing tape. Flanged, gasketed, and bolted connections (gasket & bolts by others). Multiple units utilize the same connection methods as used for single units. Individual units are stacked atop and beside each other to form the overall bank. To stabilize the bank, use draw bands or tack welds to hold the casings in position. Take special care to seal between the edges of each unit to prevent air from passing between the units. Nose clips or sheet metal screws with a caulk or sealant is a common solution in this area.
Attenuators have no moving parts. Only general cleaning is required periodically, normally done when the duct itself is inspected and cleaned. Wiping the interior wall of the units with a damp cloth will generally remove any dust and dirt build-up. Minimal amounts of water can be used to remove heavy soil, but saturating the insulation is not recommended.

Hospital/Clean Room Attenuators

SPC MPC LPC SELF-NOISE POWER LEVELS SOUND ATTENUATOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Hospital/Clean Room Attenuators Hospital/Clean Room attenuators are available in three models, specifically engineered for sensitive area applications requiring broad band noise reduction coupled with erosion proof acoustic fill. Performance data is provided for four basic lengths - 36, 60, 84, and 120. Units are also offered in 48, 72, and 96 lengths. Model SPC is a standard pressure drop unit ideally suited for system velocities at or near 1,000 fpm. Model MPC also provides excellent attenuation values along with a moderate pressure drop at somewhat higher air velocities. Model LPC offers the lowest pressure drop for higher velocity systems. Special features of our Hospital/Clean Room Attenuators are:

Elbow Attenuators
EHP EMP ELP SELF-NOISE POWER LEVELS SOUND ATTENUATOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Elbow Attenuators Elbow attenuators are available in three models for horizontal or vertical applications requiring broad band noise reduction when space for straight attenuators is not available. Performance data is provided for eight centerline lengths - 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, and 120. Special centerline lengths are available, upon request. Do not use Elbow Attenuators when space permits the use of straight rectangular units. Follow the same location guidelines as rectangular attenuators. Model EHP is a standard pressure drop unit ideally suited for system velocities at 500 to 1,000 fpm. Model EMP also provides excellent attenuation values along with a moderate pressure drop at velocities from 1,000 to 1,500 fpm. Model ELP offers the lowest pressure drop for velocities above 1,500 fpm. Special features of our Elbow Attenuators are:
Bellmouth entrance to help minimize turbulence 22 gauge galvanized steel casings 24 gauge perforated galvanized baffles Long strand Fiberglass acoustical fill Seams are mastic filled to insure airtight units to 8 w.g. Optional polyethylene, Mylar or fiberglass cloth liners.
ASTM E-84 ratings for the acoustical fill are: Flamespread 10 Smoke Developed 10 Components are also available in stainless steel or aluminum construction. Acoustical performance ratings are based on independent tests of a 24 x 24 attenuator conducted by Intertek Testing Services, following general guidelines prescribed by ASTM E477-96 and pending guidelines being developed specifically for Elbow Attenuators. Copies of the test reports are available upon request.
