Sound Attenuators
Online Course No. M-2029

Credits: 2 PDH

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
in the 5
th
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 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
Model LPC offers the lowest pressure drop for higher velocity systems.
Special features of our Hospital/Clean Room Attenuators are:
turbulence
Acoustic fill encapsulated in polyethylene to
eliminate erosion and absorption of gases
Acoustic stand-off between the perforated
baffle and the acoustic fill to enhance
performance
Seams are mastic filled to insure airtight units to 8 w.g.
ASTM E-84 ratings for the assembled unit:
Flamespread 0
Smoke Developed 15
Acoustical performance ratings are based on tests conducted by Intertek Testing
Services, formerly ETL Testing Laboratories, Inc., Cortland, New York, in accordance
with ASTM E477 Standard Method of Testing Duct Liner Materials and Prefabricated
Silencers for Acoustical and Airflow Performance. Copies of the test reports are
available upon request.

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
Optional polyethylene, Mylar or fiberglass cloth liners.
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.
