Different Industries Where Acoustic Enclosures Are Used – DuraSystems
Acoustic enclosures are just what they imply: enclosures that offer protection from noise. Based on the type of acoustic enclosure design, these either reduce or completely block noise generated by machinery and equipment. This carefully engineered structure minimizes or eliminates loud noise caused by oversized refrigeration units, compressors, blowers, grinders, power generators, gear boxes, and more.
Along with enclosures, you have other options such as acoustic panels, louvers, barriers, doors, walls, and screens. For a better understanding of just how critical these structures are, consider some of the ways they are used.
Commercial Industries
For any commercial business, especially large companies that have oversized air heating and cooling systems, acoustic panels and enclosures are ideal. Not only do these acoustic structures help with noise control but also structural integrity. For added convenience, their design includes easy access for people performing inspections and maintenance. As a prime example, an airport would have an enclosure for its noisy HVAC equipment, thereby preventing sound from traveling to the inside of the terminal.
Industrial Applications
Noise control enclosures also benefit multiple industrial businesses. Whether you have a warehouse, distribution center, plant, factory, or something else, acoustic barriers are essential. These industries use all sorts of loud equipment and machinery as part of operations and manufacturing processes.
With the right enclosure, workers have a safer and more enjoyable work environment. As a result, they can focus better on their work, which equates to higher production levels. Using the appropriate type of noise protection also minimizes issues of liability. In this case, you would not be liable for employees that develop hearing loss due to loud noises at work. Enclosures with acoustic capability are perfect for plant offices, test chambers, paint booths, and more.
Environmental Industries
For things like cooling towers, process blowers in wastewater treatment plants, fans, and LNG terminal process equipment, among others, these enclosures are essential. Whether used during temporary construction, alongside roadways, or are permanently mounted, acoustic panels, barriers, and enclosures make a huge difference in cutting down or eliminating noise.
A ski resort could use an enclosure to block out noise caused by loud machinery required to run chairlifts, which would eliminate the potential risk of an avalanche. Ultimately, the barrier prevents noise and sound from radiating from one source to an outside area.
