Unusually
Quiet
Type NH fans, with their stable and efficient performance,
are quiet in operation. In fact, quietness is one of the principal
features of the Type NH design.
It should be emphasized that maximum quietness in
actual operation depends not only on the choice of the fan itself,
but also the system of which the fan is a part. Poorly designed
ductwork of too light construction or with abrupt turns, as weel
as improper fan foundations, lack of proper isolation between fan
and ducts, and poor acoustical conditions adversely affect the sound
level of the installation.
A guide for selection of fan outlet velocities
at various static pressures is shown in the table on the right.
In general, choosing a lower outlet velocity for the static pressure
involved results in quiter operation. |
