PRESSURE DROP CALCULATION:

Sl No. Description
Pa
1 Inlet Weather Louver 30.00
2 Inlet Attenuator 66.76
3 Discharge Weather Louver 20.00
4 Discharge Attenuator 73.98
5 Around the Equipment 3.00
6 After Radiator transition 3.00

Total Pressure Drop, 196.74

Pa

Total pressure drop in inlet & discharge: 196.74 Pa

So the total ventilation system pressure drop is : 196.74 Pa < 200 Pa
The Pressure drop is lower than the given value of 200 Pa @ 32.40 m3/sec.
Exhaust Muffler:
The design of the mufflers has to be based on the required end level of Lp(A) = 85 dB(A) @ 1.0 m.

Remark:
All our acoustical calculations are based on air borne
noise. Noises due to mechanical vibrations are
excluded.
All noise sources must be decoupled with extremely high anti-vibration units.
Conclusion:
To reach the required end noise level, for individual noise sources we try to reach 82 to 84 dB(A)
@
1.0 m. Combination of several noise sources will give a level around the expected sound pressure
level of Lp(A) <= 85 dB(A) @ 1.0 m.
We have no reserve in our acoustical calculations.
Note: Sound levels and Pressure drop are predictions based on typical Muffler performance.
Actual results will vary depend on a number of factors affecting the individual application &
installation. Calculations shown are estimates only and do NOT constitute a warranty.
