ESTIMATING METHOD FOR PREDICTING NOISE ORIGINATING IN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS ON NAVAL VESSELS

Abstract

A method for predicting noise levels, in terms of sound power in octave bands, generated by air conditioning or ventilation systems on submarines and surface vessels has been developed and reported herein. This method will enable the designer, within certain limitations, to predict system noise prior to construction and where necessary, reduce system noise to specified limits by the use of noise reduction devices.
