PC2 models generate low sound levels, making them suitable for installation in most environments. To evaluate whether an axial fan unit can be applied on a particular application, follow these steps to minimize the impact of sound on the environment. These suggestions are ordered with regard to the impact they will have on cost.
- Provide a method of capacity control. Capacity control will allow the fan to run at lower speeds when loads are lighter or the wet-bulb is lower. These lower speeds are often sufficient to provide the scheduled capacity at night, when sound requirements are the most stringent.
- For PC2 models, a low sound fan option may be available to significantly reduce the sound levels generated from the unit.
- For PC2 models, water silencers option may be available to reduce the sound levels generated from the unit.
- Barrier walls can be constructed to prevent sound transmission to sensitive areas.
