18、A similar calculation may be completed for various receiver locations (i.e., directly under the terminal or directly under the diffuser) in order to determine the acoustically critical receiver location.

Sound power measurement for Air Terminals is defined in AHRI Standard 880. Real rooms at low frequencies are highly reverberant which causes the source to radiate le

27、ss low frequency noise than if the source were operating in a free field (outdoors). For this reason, it is necessary to adjust manufacturers sound power data before applying the data to estimate Sound Pressure in occupied spaces. Differential values between the two sources have been determined and

28、must be subtracted from manufacturers data as a part of the calculation. The values are shown in Table 2. Table 2.

The sudden area change at the exit of an integral terminal unit or outlet can reflect significant low frequency energy back into th

It is the difference between the octave band Sound Power incident on a duct end and the Sound Power transmitted out of the end of a duct.

The sound estimating method used in this standard is based on a simple process called Source-Path-Receiver. A given Source of sound travels over a given Path to an occupied space where a Receiver hears the

38、sound produced by the Source as in Table 3. 5.2 Outline of the Sound Pressure Estimating Procedure. This standard estimates space Sound Pressure Levels when the acoustic performance of Air Terminals and/or outlets is known. A second use of the standard is to estimate the maximum permissible Sound Po

39、wer Level from a terminal device so that a selected acoustical design criteria (NC or RC) will not be exceeded. Four steps are required to estimate Sound Pressure Levels by Octave Band: 5.2.1 Obtain Air Terminal or outlet Sound Power Levels at the specific unit operating point(s). Source: Manufactur

40、ers Data. 5.2.2 Identify the sound paths to be evaluated. Source: Acoustic Model. 5.2.3 Determine the attenuation path factors for each path. Source: Appendix D, Standard 885. 5.2.4 Logarithmically add the acoustic contribution from each sound path to determine overall Sound Pressure Level. 5.3 Acou

41、stical Models. Acoustical models for each of the major Air Terminal/distribution applications are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 which follow. The models identify receiver sound paths and graphically illustrate the process of sound level prediction. Lp AHRI STANDARD 885-2008 (formerly ARI STANDARD 885-

This standard does not take into consideration sound breaking out of the inlet ducts to Air Terminal devices as shown (by the dashed-line arrow) in the upstream duct breakout radiated path in Figure 1. Sound emitted from this element can come from these sources: 1

43、. The airborne sound from the system central fan; 2. Airborne regenerated sound from upstream takeoffs and fittings; 3. Sound traveling upstream from the terminal. At the present time, catalog data is not available for sound traveling upstream from the Air Terminal. It is difficult to estimate becau

44、se of the wide variety of fittings used. If the designer feels upstream noise might be significant (e.g., where a terminal is mounted close to the supply fan), it is recommended that hard duct be used or that flex duct be lagged. Table 3.
