Test for Determination of the noise emitted by a generator set driven by a reciprocating internal combustion engine

Test for Determination of the noise emitted by a generator set driven by a reciprocating internal combustion engine

Test noise emitted from a reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets: Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method provides useful information identify priority measures in noise control.

Overview of the test for Determination of the noise emitted from a reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets

Test name: Determination of the noise emitted from a reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets Part 10: Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method.

Test Method:

TCVN 9729-10:2013: reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets Part 10: Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method [1].

 ISO 8528-10:1998: Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets – Part 10: Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method [2].

Conducted at: in-situ of the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets area.

1. Test target and subjects

– Test target

Determine the noise generated by the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets.

– Test subjects

3. Note:

 – Note about testing conditions

+ To reduce the influence of the experimenter on the measurement results, the measuring equipment should be securely installed. The experimenter should be at least 1.5m away from the measuring equipment.

+ The measurement must provide information about the level of background noise, which is very important for the process of measuring the noise level of generator, motor.

– Be careful when measuring with a meter/microphone

+ The characteristic of sound intensity changing over time of the noise meter must be selected during the measurement process. If the change in weighted pressure level A is less than ± 1dB, the noise level can be considered stable. The average value of the maximum and minimum noise level monitored over a period of time shall be considered the measurement result.

+ If the noise level is unstable, the result must be rejected and the measurement process must be carried out with an integrated noise measuring device.

Role – importance of the Test for Determination of noise generated by the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets

 The test for determination of the noise generated by the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets conducted by the Institute of Development and Application for Sound Materials helps provide useful information, meeting all practical needs of customers and businesses:

  • Control noise, isolate noise sources, prevent noise, and implement mitigation measures to avoid health and safety risks and not have negative impacts on the community.
  • Measure the working environment and assign appropriate work. Train workers exposed to noisy environments to clearly understand the harmful effects of noise and safe working measures.
  • Material manufacturers, consulting – design – construction units of soundproofing chambers or construction projects in areas with noise generated by the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets, who want achieve the goal of effective noise reduction, sound absorption, sound insulation…
  • Control quality during the production process, optimize research and development of products and materials that help reduce sound, prevent noise, absorb sound, insulate sound… related to noise generated by the reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets.
  • Commercial businesses/consultants use it as a valid basis to propose and implement solutions that prioritize machinery, construction equipment, technology and technological initiatives, minimizing the impact of noise.
  • Support legal disputes, litigation, soliciting inspections, measuring and analyzing environmental samples in case of noise violations exceeding technical environmental regulations.
