14、 the Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning Standards Committee in response to requests from industry. The committee acknowledge their debt to the Building Services Research and Information Association for the Associations work in formulating the methods of testing that appear in this standard.

15、 It is intended to review this standard when a series of ISO standards dealing with acoustic testing has been completed and published as British Standards. Where reference is made to British Standards for which no metric version is available, the appropriate British Standard in imperial units should

16、 be used in conjunction with BS350. Attention is also drawn to BS3763 and PD5686. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself

17、 confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to20, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indic

General 1 Scope This Part of this British Standard deals with methods of acoustic testing and rating of terminal reheat units, defined in Part1 of the standard, for: a) static terminal attenuation; b) sound

19、generation, upstream and downstream of the unit; c) radiation of sound from the casing. 2 References The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the definitions of acoustic terms given in BS6

20、61 apply; other definitions given in BS 4857-1, together with the following, also apply. 3.1 dummy load a flow restrictor or similar device having the same pressure/flow characteristic as the unit under test 3.2 insertion loss the insertion loss of a terminal reheat unit is the attenuation it gives

21、to noise propagated from the system through the supply duct. It is defined here as the difference between the sound power radiated from, the open end of the supply duct, and that radiated when the unit is connected to this supply duct. The test is conducted without air flow to determine the static i

22、nsertion loss 3.3 noise radiated in direction of inlet the rate at which sound energy enters a uniform airway connected to the unit inlet 3.4 noise radiated in direction of outlet the rate at which sound energy enters a uniform airway connected to the unit outlet 3.5 steady state conditions steady s

23、tate conditions are considered to exist for test purposes if the air volume flow rate does not vary by more than2% from a mean value during the test 3.6 terminal attenuation terminal attenuation is the difference between the sound power level in the supply inlet duct and the sound power level in the

24、 outlet duct. Terminal attenuation can be calculated from the insertion loss by adding the outlet duct and reflection and subtracting the inlet duct end reflection 4 Nomenclature Symbol Quantity Unit P Sound pressure Pa P O Reference sound pressure (=2 10 5 Pa) Pa L p Sound pressure level dB W Sound

26、d. This single duct shall have an outlet area equal to the sum of the areas of the multiple outlets. 5.3 Units designed for use in a specific situation shall be tested under conditions simulating this situation. 6 Instrumentation Instrumentation shall comply with the provisions of section2 and of BS

27、 4857-1. 7 Test methods 7.1 Terminal attenuation 7.1.1 The unit shall be connected to a system similar to that shown inFigure 1. The minimum dimension of the chamber shown shall be three and a half times the air supply duct diameter (or mean of sides if rectangular). 7.1.2 A suitable random noise so

28、urce is either: a) a loud-speaker connected to a random noise generator; b) the reference sound source described in section2. Where a tape recording is used for the noise source, precautions shall be taken to ensure that the output remains constant throughout the duration of the test. A closed loop

29、tape is recommended to minimize the effects of tape sensitivity variations and the loop should pass the play-back head at least three times during each frequency band measurement. The tape should be of the type recommended for closed loop working,i.e.with a permanently lubricated surface. 7.1.3 Back

30、ground noise levels shall be measured with the sound source operating during both unit-in and unit-out tests. These levels should be more than6dB below the measured mean sound pressure levels (seealso clause19). If the background noise level is less than6dB below the mean sound pressure level measur

31、ed during the unit-in test then this will reduce the measured insertion loss. Where this occurs the results shall be reported with a note to this effect. A correction for the intrusion of background noise affecting the measurements of sound pressure level with the equipment operating shall be applie

34、ble 1 Correction conditions for background noise 7.1.4 The test shall be carried out as follows. a) With the unit installed as shown inFigure 1 and the noise source operating, measure the mean sound pressure level, in octave bands, in the test room,. b) Remove the unit and substitute a length of str

35、aight duct as shown inFigure 2. a) Repeat test a) maintaining the output of the noise source constant. This gives . 7.1.5 The terminal attenuationA shall be calculated from the following equation. where 7.1.6 Noise from the source which may reach the microphone measuring stations without passing thr

36、ough the unit under test (flanking transmission) will appear to reduce the terminal attenuation of the unit. The following procedure shall be carried out to determine whether this is occurring. a) Measure the octave band sound pressure level in the same way as for the unit-in test with the sound sou

37、rce operating. b) Block the inlet duct with a high transmission loss barrier immediately upstream of the unit and repeat testa). If the octave band sound pressure level measured underb) is at least10dB below that measured undera) in each band of concern, the terminal attenuation measurements made on

38、 the unit will not be affected by such flanking transmission. 7.2 Generated noise 7.2.1 General. The tests described in this clause are for the determination of air flow generated noise radiated through both the inlet and outlet connections.

40、tful value. Measurements may be made in either one-third or one octave bands not containing the discrete frequency, and these will have the usual accuracy. is the measured mean sound pressure level for the unit-in test (indB) is the measure of mean sound pressure level for the unit-out test (indB) X

The unit shall be capable of withstanding the negative pressures resulting from this arrangeme

43、nt. The background noise level shall be measured with the unit removed and replaced by plain ductwork and a dummy load connected to the fan inlet (or outlet if the test is for noise radiated upstream of the unit). All air control dampers shall be in the position required for the test and the dummy l

44、oad adjusted such that the air flow rate is within5% of that required for the test. No correction shall be made for background noise. If the background level is less than6dB below the noise generated by the unit then the test results may be reported as affected by background noise. 7.2.2 Noise radia

45、ted in direction of outlet. The unit shall be connected to an air supply system similar to that shown inFigure 4. The outlet duct from the unit shall be not less than2m long and shall be positioned in the test room such that the discharge end is at least1m from the room surfaces. The test shall be c

46、arried out under steady state conditions, such conditions being satisfied if the air volume flow rate does not vary by more than2% of the mean value during the test. The outlet generated sound power level L wcof the unit shall be calculated from the following equation: 7.2.3 Noise radiated through i

47、nlet connection. The unit shall be connected to an air supply system similar to that shown inFigure 5. It is necessary to employ a flared entry to the inlet duct to prevent significant air flow noise being generated at this position. The end reflection correction (seeFigure 3) for such an entry is c

48、alculated as the arithmetic average of the values previously used for the duct itself and for the maximum opening of the flared entry. The inlet static pressure shall be the differential pressure indicated inFigure 5. The test shall be carried out and the results calculated as described in7.2.2. 7.3

49、 Casing noise radiation 7.3.1 For this test the unit shall be connected to an air supply system similar to that shown inFigure 6. All ductwork and connections shall be such that the radiation from them is at a much lower level than the radiation from the unit casing. This may be achieved by either: a) using very heavy duct materials, or b) using an efficient acoustic lagging for the ductwork, if it is similar in thickness to the unit casing.
