High-Performance Equipment Enclosures for Effective Noise Control

Effective noise control for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing equipment begins with a clear, engineered strategy tailored to each environment. Equipment such as air handlers, generators, pumps, compressors, and chillers can generate high and persistent noise levels. Managing this noise requires addressing the source, the transmission path, and the surrounding areas where personnel and occupants may be affected.

Dynasonics provides custom-engineered solutions that reduce equipment noise both indoors and outdoors, helping facilities maintain safe work environments, protect system performance, and meet acoustic requirements.

Engineered Noise-Control Solutions

Our equipment-enclosure solutions are designed to solve complex industrial and commercial noise challenges through modular, adaptable, and high-performance components.

Modular Acoustical Panels

Dynasonics modular acoustical panels deliver high levels of noise reduction alongside thermal insulation, air-tight performance, and structural integrity. These pre-engineered panels can be used to create partial or full enclosures for a wide range of equipment.

Features include:

• Self-supporting, field-assembled construction
• Acoustical and thermal performance in one system
• Optional access doors and viewing windows
• Multiple configurations: solid/solid, septum, absorptive
• Material choices including galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel
• Optional powder coat or corrosion-resistant finishes

Typical applications include HVAC plenums, mechanical equipment enclosures, and custom sound-control structures.

Barrier Wall Systems

Barrier walls offer an effective way to block and reduce noise from large, stationary equipment. Built from Dynasonics acoustical panels, these walls are engineered to meet project-specific performance and structural requirements.

Ideal for equipment such as:

• Chillers
• Compressors
• Fans
• Rooftop mechanical equipment
• Air-handling units

Barrier systems are durable, cost-effective, and scalable, making them suitable for industrial plants, commercial buildings, and outdoor mechanical yards.

Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing Equipment Enclosures

Dynasonics provides flexible enclosure solutions for a wide range of equipment types, including generator enclosures for standby power systems. These enclosures can be configured as drop-over units, skid-mounted systems, or field-erected structures.

Customization options include:

• Acoustical louvers
• Sound attenuators and mufflers
• Acoustical doors
• Ventilation modules
• Specialized structural and material requirements

Each enclosure is engineered for the specific noise levels, ventilation needs, access requirements, and environmental conditions of the equipment it houses, including high-demand generator applications.

HVAC Plenums and Equipment Casings

Air-conditioning and ventilation equipment often generate significant airborne and structural noise. Dynasonics HVAC plenums and equipment casings provide effective sound absorption and transmission loss, improving acoustic performance throughout the system.

Each plenum is custom-built to meet:

• Acoustical requirements
• Structural load conditions
• Ventilation and airflow needs

Applications include:

• Air handling units
• Exhaust air plenums
• Panel-duct systems

Acoustical Louvers

Acoustical louvers combine ventilation and noise control in one solution. Their internal geometry is designed to minimize pressure drop while maximizing sound attenuation.

Available in multiple sizes, materials, and finishes, these louvers can be incorporated into:

• Building ventilation openings
• Generator room intake/discharge vents
• Acoustic barrier wall systems
• Mechanical room or pump room ventilation
• Air-cooled chiller enclosures
• Equipment enclosures requiring airflow

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What types of equipment benefit from acoustic enclosures?

Equipment such as generators, compressors, pumps, air handlers, chillers, and other mechanical systems often require enclosures to manage noise and protect surrounding spaces.

Can Dynasonics enclosures be customized for specific equipment?

Yes. All enclosures are engineered to meet the unique acoustic, structural, ventilation, and access needs of the equipment they surround.

Do equipment enclosures affect ventilation or cooling performance?

Dynasonics enclosures are designed to maintain proper airflow while reducing noise. Options like acoustical louvers and attenuators ensure effective ventilation.

Are generator enclosures available for outdoor installations?

Absolutely. Dynasonics offers generator enclosures built with durable, weather-resistant materials suited for outdoor environments.

What is the difference between a barrier wall and a full enclosure?

Barrier walls block line-of-sight noise and reduce sound transmission, while full enclosures surround equipment on all sides for maximum noise reduction.

How are modular acoustical panels installed?

Panels are field-assembled using a self-supporting design. They can be configured as drop-over, skid-mounted, or fully erected structures, depending on project needs.

Can these solutions be integrated into existing facilities?

Yes. Dynasonics designs systems to integrate seamlessly with both new construction and retrofits, even in tight mechanical or industrial spaces.
