What is Acoustic in HVAC?
Acoustic in HVAC pertains to the examination and management of sound waves and noise produced by heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The primary aim of addressing acoustic issues in HVAC is to reduce noise levels and create a comfortable indoor atmosphere.
Acoustic solutions are synonymous with soundproofing. In the HVAC industry, to diminish the sound and vibrations generated by motors, compressors, body components, or any moving parts, we utilize acoustic materials, with or without external insulation, based on the specific application.
Typically, fiberglass sheet blankets are the most common choice for soundproofing. Additionally, options such as resilient channel systems and sound-absorbing panels are also employed to help reduce noise levels both within the system and in the surrounding areas.
