The diffuser noise of HVAC(heating ventilating and air-conditioning) uses dB(A) or NC as a indoor noise criteria that ASHRAE represents, and there is no specific guide line for application. According to the previous study, there are some problems like that even though the sound level of sound source is same, the NC shows different values, which makes the noise rating confused. This problem is caused by the frequency characteristics of sound source and its sound level. Therefore, appropriate evaluation method should be considered based on the subjective responses. This study aims to analyze the physical parameters appropriate for the evaluation of HVAC diffuser noise. To achieve this, recording of sound sources, calculation of physical parameters and psycho-acoustic experiment were carried out and the results were derived from the correlation analysis between physical parameters and subjective evaluatio

There are various types of noise around us such as road traffic noise, aircraft noise and floor impact sound, equipment noise, etc. Researches on the noise criteria and the evaluation method for the diffuser noise of HVAC are insufficient. dB(A) and NC values represented in ASHRAE guide book are applied as a noise criteria for diffuser noise, which have some problems like that the values between dB(A) and NC have deviation even if the sound is same one. Therefore, the evaluation method should be considered and proposed based on the subjective responses. From these reasons, this study aimed to analyze the evaluation factors for the diffuser noise of HVAC reflected on the subjective responses by surveying vocabularies and grouping them with factor analysis.

본 글은 가전제품의 안전성, 고급화 및 기능의 차별화를 목적으로 Auto Louver를 설치하는 경우에 있어서 부수적으로 발생하는 2차적 소음에 대해 음질개선 및 소음저감 방법을 소개한다. 실험은 제품의 토출구에 안전망이 설치되고 그 뒤에 Auto Louver를 부착한 자사의 Air Cleaner를 대상으로 실시하였으며, 임의의 공기가 토출되는 조건에서 Auto Louver의 Blade 길이를 줄여 안전망과 Blade 끝단까지의 거리를 이격시킴으로서 1.2KHz-2.5KHz 주파수 대역의 SPL의 저감을 통해 음질을 개선하였고, 이로 인해 토출구로부터 1m 떨어진 위치에서의 소음 측정값을 1.1㏈A의 저감하는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study aims to provide the basic data useful in assessing indoor-noise and designing sound devices in office buildings of HVAC system. The measurements of HVAC noise were carried out in office room and mechanical room. The performance of absorptive chamber and side branch was also estimated in the office buildings which have HVAC noise problems. The results of experiments show that the NR value of indoor HVAC noise is rather higher than that of ISO recommendations at the frequencies below 500Hz. In addition, the results indicated that the absorptive chamber attenuates noise over broad band frequencies and side branch reduces noise at the special resonant frequency.
