2.2 MATERIALS

A. HUSHCORE™ UNITARYPLUS™ “TM” Chiller Noise Reduction System: 1) HUSH GUARD™ Modular Metal Panels, Part Number HGU-400, Metal Acoustical Panels shall be pre-fabricated, sectional, all metal-clad, modular and designed for easy and accurate assembly and disassembly. The acoustical panels and components are designed to surround the condenser fans on air cooled chillers. The panels are mounted directly onto the chiller top (equipment manufacturer approval required), with sheet metal floor channels for positioning 3 x 3 structural vertical angle braces along both sides of the chiller. The acoustical discharge plenum height shall be as required to meet acoustical performance in 2.3. Top Mounted UNITARYPLUS™ Systems cannot be wind load rated. 2) HUSH GUARD HGU-400 Metal Acoustical Panels shall be constructed with galvanized steel sheet metal and core insulation suitable for exposure to the elements. The panels shall be rated at STC-42 minimum. All structural angles shall be painted or galvanized. The panels and components shall not be susceptible to damage due to extended exposure to vibration, air temperature, UV rays or humidity with passage of time.

Spacing, depth and baffle thickness shall be as required to meet acoustical and aerodynamics of the selected chiller manufacturer’s model.

2.3 ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE

A. The UnitaryPlus™ “TM” System HUSH GUARD™ panels shall meet or exceed the Transmission Loss values at every octave band when tested in accordance with ASTM E-90-10 as listed below.

Freq. (Hz) 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 STC TL (dB) 23 31 40 49 56 62 42

B. When operating at worst case noise conditions, the chiller with prescribed noise treatments shall not exceed [ ] at a distance of [ ], assuming no contribution from ambient background sources.

C. Chiller sound power levels with the HUSHCORE™ UnitaryPlus™ “TM” System shall not exceed the following levels in any octave band.

63 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000 dBA [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

D. Acoustical reading shall be supplied by the chiller manufacturer after completed installation. Readings shall be conducted by a qualified acoustical consultant.
