Description of sound measurements

1609510-3.5
General

Purpose
This should be seen as an easily comprehensible sound analysis of MAN
GenSets. These measurements can be used in the project phase as a basis for
decisions concerning damping and isolation in buildings, engine rooms and
around exhaust systems.

Measuring equipment
All measurements have been made with Precision Sound Level Meters accord-
ing to standard IEC Publication 651or 804, type 1 – with 1/1 or 1/3 octave fil-
ters according to standard IEC Publication 225. Used sound calibrators are ac-
cording to standard IEC Publication 942, class 1.

Definitions
Sound Pressure Level: LP = 20 x log P/P0 [dB ]
where P is the RMS value of sound pressure in pascals, and P0 is 20 μPa for
measurement in air.
Sound Power Level: LW = 10 x log P/P0 [dB]
where P is the RMS value of sound power in watts, and P0 is 1 pW.

Measuring conditions
All measurements are carried out in one of MAN Diesel & Turbo's test bed facil-
ities.
During measurements, the exhaust gas is led outside the test bed through a si-
lencer. The GenSet is placed on a resilient bed with generator and engine on a
common base frame.
Sound Power is normally determined from Sound Pressure measurements.

Description of sound measurements

New measurement of exhaust sound is carried out at the test bed, unsilenced,
directly after turbocharger, with a probe microphone inside the exhaust pipe.
Previously used method for measuring exhaust sound are DS/ISO 2923 and
DIN 45635, here is measured on unsilenced exhaust sound, one meter from
the opening of the exhaust pipe, see fig.1.

Sound measuring "on-site"

2016-02-23 - en

The Sound Power Level can be directly applied to on-site conditions. It does
not, however, necessarily result in the same Sound Pressure Level as meas-
ured on test bed.
Normally the Sound Pressure Level on-site is 3-5 dB higher than the given sur-
face Sound Pressure Level (Lpf) measured at test bed. However, it depends
strongly on the acoustical properties of the actual engine room.
Description

Standards
Determination of Sound Power from Sound Pressure measurements will nor-
mally be carried out according to:
