  • Air Compressor Noise Control Air Compressor Noise Control
    AIR COMPRESSOR BY NOISE CONTROL USA AIR COMPRESSOR NOISE CONTROL AIR COMPRESSOR NOISE CONTROL Compressor are often noisy an effective solution is often required to suppress the noise emitted from them. Compressor noise is usually a nuisance because they are sitting on comparatively lightweight structures. The best way to soundproof and to reduce any noise from a compressor regardless of size is to enclose it within a Floor Mounted 4-Sided Soundproofing Acoustic blanket Enclosure. For best results the enclosure should be as large as possible to allow less heat buildup and also to be more effective at reducing the noise output from reaching other areas and acoustically isolating the Compressor to contain structure borne sound being transmitted from where it is mounted. Depending on the current sound levels of the Compressor and your noise reduction goals, an abatement solution can be determined. In most applications a soundproofing blanket enclosure will meet your sound reduction needs. This is a two to four sided soundproofing enclosure with or without a roof. Typically a frame and track is constructed to suspend the soundproofing curtain panels. The soundproofing blankets material is a composite material bonding mass loaded vinyl with an acoustical absorber and faced with a vinyl diamond stitched facing. Using our Soundproofing Acoustic Blankets to construct a 4-sided noise control solution will significantly reduce sound. The noise reduction to be expected is a range of 20 to 40 decibels. The better the construction, weight of blankets and amount of soundproofing acoustic blankets used (the surface area) all factor into your sound reduction numbers.

  • Construction Noise Control Products and Vendors Guidance Sheet
    Construction Noise Control Products and Vendors Guidance Sheet Revised: 16 July 2018 Distributed by: New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) The following is intended to provide guidance to construction contractors with respect to finding and selecting suitable construction noise control products. These products and vendors may be helpful to contractors for achieving compliance with the New York City Noise Code, and more specifically, with the Construction Noise Rules found in Local Law 113, Section 24-219, Chapter 28, Title 15 of the Rules of New York City which went into effect in July 2007. While there are similarities in the approach to construction noise control for all work sites, the specific measures and solutions need to be carefully selected and implemented correctly. In general, noise control measures can be applied at the noise source, along the pathway, or at the receiver (listener) directly. For these reasons, it is highly recommended that contractors discuss their situation with a qualified acoustical consultant as early as possible. It is always more cost-effective to design for good acoustics from the beginning rather than to rely on retrofit solutions when noise becomes a problem later. To aid in the selection of an acoustical consultant, links to several national professional societies are provided. The NYC DEP can also provide a list of consultants. This information is not an exhaustive list of noise control products and vendors. It is intended for guidance and informative purposes only, and should not be construed as an official endorsement of any product, vendor, or consultant by the City of New York.

  • A Comprehensive Review of Thermal Energy Storage
    sustainability Review A Comprehensive Review of Thermal Energy Storage Ioan Sarbu * ID and Calin Sebarchievici Department of Building Services Engineering, Polytechnic University of Timisoara, Piata Victoriei, No. 2A, 300006 Timisoara, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-256-403-991; Fax: +40-256-403-987 Received: 7 December 2017; Accepted: 10 January 2018; Published: 14 January 2018 Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. This paper is focused on TES technologies that provide a way of valorizing solar heat and reducing the energy demand of buildings. The principles of several energy storage methods and calculation of storage capacities are described. Sensible heat storage technologies, including water tank, underground, and packed-bed storage methods, are briefly reviewed. Additionally, latent-heat storage systems associated with phase-change materials for use in solar heating/cooling of buildings, solar water heating, heat-pump systems, and concentrating solar power plants as well as thermo-chemical storage are discussed. Finally, cool thermal energy storage is also briefly reviewed and outstanding information on the performance and costs of TES systems are included. Keywords: storage system; phase-change materials; chemical storage; cold storage; performance 1. Introduction Recent projections predict that the primary energy consumption will rise by 48% in 2040 [1]. On the other hand, the depletion of fossil resources in addition to their negative impact on the environment has accelerated the shift toward sustainable energy sources.

  • Initial Start-Up When Starting up the Cooler Refrigeration System for the First Time, the Following Events Occur
    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION COOLERS AND FREEZERS COOLERS All standard units are equipped with an adjustable thermostat located on the lower right hand side of the evaporator coil, on the inside of the walk-in. All units are set at the factory to the temperature requested by the customer. Minor adjustments in operating temperature may be made to suit your needs by a qualified refrigeration technician. Polar King recommends that you do not set the temperature colder than required, as this will cause unnecessary power consumption. Recommended temperature for a cooler ranges from +34° to +37° F, unless specified otherwise for special applications. Refrigeration - Initial Start-Up When starting up the cooler refrigeration system for the first time, the following events occur. The operating sequence is as follows: (1) Thermostat calls for refrigerant. (2) Liquid line solenoid valve opens, allowing refrigerant to flow. (3) Pressure control makes the control circuit and the condensing unit operates. (4) When the room thermostat is satisfied, the liquid line solenoid will close, and the compressor will pump down and turn off. (Fan on unit cooler will continue to run.) These units are designed for application conditions 33°F and above. CAUTION: DO NOT SET A COOLER BELOW 32°F OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. Defrost Defrost is accomplished during refrigeration off cycle. Four defrost cycles per day are programmed at the factory (4 a.m., 10 a.m., 4 p.m., and 10:00 p.m.). It may be necessary to change the defrost cycle times to fit your work schedule. The interior temperature may rise slightly during the defrost cycle.

  • Disparities in Ammonia, Temperature, Humidity, and Airborne Particulate Matter Between the Micro-And Macroenvironments of Mice in Individually Ventilated Caging
    Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Vol 49, No 2 Copyright 2010 March 2010 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 177–183 Disparities in Ammonia, Temperature, Humidity, and Airborne Particulate Matter between the Micro-and Macroenvironments of Mice in Individually Ventilated Caging Matthew D Rosenbaum,1 Susan VandeWoude,2 John Volckens,3 and Thomas E Johnson3,* Animal room environmental parameters typically are monitored with the assumption that the environment within the cage closely mirrors the room environment. This study evaluated that premise by examining macro- (room) and microenvi- ronmental (cage) parameters in individually ventilated cages housing mice with variable amounts of bedding over a period of 17 d without cage changes. Intracage ammonia levels remained within recommended human guidelines but were higher than room levels, confirming that microisolation caging is efficient at preventing ammonia generated from animal waste from escaping into the room. Humidity and temperature within cages were consistently higher than room levels. Particles in the room predominantly consisted of fine particles (diameter less than 2.5 µm), presumably from the ambient atmosphere; some of these particles were found in the cage microenvironment. In addition, mouse activity within cages produced larger particles, and these particles contributed to substantially higher aerosol mass concentrations within the cage. These findings demonstrate that, although cage and room environmental parameters differ, knowledge of room environmental conditions can be used to predict certain conditions within the cage. This association is relevant in that typical animal care standard operat- ing procedures rely on room measurements, not intracage measurements, which arguably are more important for assessing animal welfare.

  • At the Request of the District, Environmental Control Systems, Inc, the District's Environmental Risk Engineers, Visited Charl
    Environmental Control Systems, Inc. Indoor Air Quality Investigation Charles F. Patton Middle School Executive Summary At the request of the district, Environmental Control Systems, Inc, the district’s environmental risk engineers, visited Charles F. Patton Middle School to visually assess surfaces and test the air quality in various regions of the school building. This process was completed on Wednesday, November 21 during the regular school day when school was in session. Upon their professional inspection and review, Environmental Control Systems concluded that there is no evidence of mold at Charles F. Patton Middle School. Below is a summary of the report provided by Environmental Control Systems, Inc. You may view the complete report by clicking here. Indoor Air Quality Investigation Report Summary - November 21, 2018 1. Currently, there are no EPA, CDC or OSHA regulations or standards for airborne mold contaminants, therefore, there are no quantitative health-based guidelines, values, or thresholds for acceptable, tolerable, or normal concentrations for airborne fungi spores. 2. Generally speaking, indoor mold types should be similar to, and airborne concentrations should be no greater than, those found outdoors and in non-complaint areas. 3. According to the EPA, there is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in an indoor environment. Spores can be found almost anywhere and can grow on virtually any substance, providing moisture is present. 4. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on wet surfaces. There are many types of mold, but none of them will grow without water. At the time of this investigation, there was no condensation on any horizontal or vertical surfaces as all surfaces were equal to or higher than room temperature.

  • Dust and Noise Environmental Impact Assessment and Control in Serbian Mining Practice
    minerals Article Dust and Noise Environmental Impact Assessment and Control in Serbian Mining Practice Nikola Lilic *, Aleksandar Cvjetic, Dinko Knezevic, Vladimir Milisavljevic and Uros Pantelic Faculty of Mining and Geology, University of Belgrade, Djusina 7, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] (A.C.); [email protected] (D.K.); [email protected] (V.M.); [email protected] (U.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +381-11-321-9131 Received: 30 November 2017; Accepted: 15 January 2018; Published: 23 January 2018 Abstract: This paper presents an approach to dust and noise environmental impact assessment and control in Serbian mine planning theory and practice. Mine planning defines the model of mining operations, production and processing rates, and ore excavation and dumping scheduling, including spatial positioning for all these activities. The planning process then needs to assess the impact of these mining activities on environmental quality. This task can be successfully completed with contemporary models for assessment of suspended particles dispersion and noise propagation. In addition to that, this approach enables verification of the efficiency of suggested protection measures for reduction or elimination of identified impact. A case study of dust and noise management at the Bor copper mine is presented, including the analysis of the efficiency of planned protection measures from dust and noise, within long-term mine planning at the Veliki Krivelj and Cerovo open pits of the Bor copper mine. Keywords: dust and noise impact assessment and control; air dispersion modeling; AERMOD; noise mapping; SoundPLAN; mine planning 1.
