Sound and vibration data
Typical sounds and vibrations in systems can be broken down into the following three categories:
• Sound radiation (through air)
• Mechanical vibrations (through parts and structure)
• Gas pulsation (through refrigerant)
The following sections focus on the causes and methods of mitigation for each of the above sources.
Compressor sound radiation - Single
For sound radiating from the compressors, the emission path is air and the sound waves are travelling directly from
the machine in all directions.
