General Information
Application
- Sound attenuator splitters with resonating panels are used for the reduction of fan and air-regenerated noise in ventilation and air conditioning systems
- Attenuation effect due to absorption and resonance
- Broadband attenuation even in the low frequency range of critical fan noise
- Hygiene tested and compliant with VDI 6022
- For use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres (EC Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX)), zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (outside) according to Directive 1999/92/EC
Special features
Resonating panels ensure increased insertion loss in the frequency range of critical fan noise
- Energy savings due to aerodynamically formed splitter frame
- Up to 30 % lower differential pressure
- Hygiene tested and compliant with VDI 6022
- Multi-section construction available for large dimensions
Nominal sizes
- H: 150 – 2500 mm
- L: 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250, 2500 mm
- Intermediate sizes of H and L are possible: 150 – 2500 mm in increments of 1 mm
- Undivided construction: H + L 600 mm min., 4000 mm max., 100 kg max.
- Size limit for H or L: If one dimension is greater than 1500 mm, the other one must not exceed 1500 mm
- Height and length subdivided in case of deviation, or a dimension 2501 – 5000 mm
- Height subdivided from H ≥ 2501 mm, otherwise length subdivided
Variants
- MK100: splitter thickness 100 mm
- MK200: splitter thickness 200 mm
- MK230: splitter thickness 230 mm
Construction
Half of the splitter is covered by a resonating panel
- F: Glass fibre fabric
- L: glass fibre fabric faced with expanded metal as an additional mechanical protection for the sound absorbing material
Materials and surfaces
- No entry: Galvanised steel 1.0917
- A2: Stainless steel 1.4301
- Construction L: Glass fibre fabric with perforated metal facing as an additional mechanical protection for the sound absorbing material
- P1: Powder-coated RAL 7001, silver grey
Parts and characteristics
- Aerodynamically profiled frame
- Reduced weight and increased rigidity due to special profile
- Helps to optimise the airflow, hence reducing the air-regenerated noise
- Reduces the pressure loss
- Covers the edges of the sound absorbing material
- Absorption material and resonating panels fitted to reduce air-regenerated noise by absorption and resonance
Accessories
- U-sheets/clamp sheets to join subdivided attenuator splitters (included with subdivided splitter constructions)
Construction features
- Aerodynamically formed splitter frame (bullnose radius 20 mm) that helps to reduce turbulence on both the upstream and downstream sides; frame with grooves for increased rigidity
- Frame edges with bullnose to protect the infill
- Operating temperature up to 100 °C; variant L up to 300 °C for 8h max.
Materials and surfaces
- Splitter frames, centre mullion and resonating panels made of galvanised sheet steel 1.0917 or stainless steel 1.4301
- Expanded metal facing made of galvanised steel 1.0917
- Perforated metal facing made of stainless steel 1.4301
- Absorption material is mineral wool
- To EN 13501, fire rating Class A1, non-combustible
- RAL quality mark RAL-GZ 388
- Biosoluble and hence non-hazardous to health according to the German TRGS 905 (Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances) and EU Directive 97/69/EC
- Faced with glass fibre fabric as a protection against erosion from airflow velocities of up to 20 m/s
- Inert to fungal and bacterial growth according to EN 846
Standards and guidelines
- Insertion loss and sound power level of air-regenerated noise tested to ISO 7235
- Meets the hygiene requirements of VDI 6022, VDI 3803 Part 1 and DIN 1946 Part 4
- EC Directive 2014/34/EC (ATEX): Equipment and protective systems intended for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
- EC Directive 1999/92/EC (ATEX): Improvement of the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.
Maintenance
- Low-maintenance as construction and materials are not subject to wear
