Noise Barriers for Power-Plant Equipment

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

Noise barriers are an effective method of mitigating the noise made by various equipment. Factors influencing the acoustic efficiency of noise barriers such as height, sound-absorbing material, slanted top, and position relative to the noise source are considered. The experience of using noise barriers for cooling towers, transformers, gas-distribution plants, ventilation systems, and air inlets and casings of compressors is described.
