Fleet Noise Reduction, EPNdB

According to a document from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the 1970’s, 55 LDN is the outdoor noise exposure level "requisite to protect the public health and welfare with an adequate margin of safety". The phrase "health and welfare" is defined as "complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity".

  • External mixing noise only
  • Accounts for both self and shear noise
  • Non-isotropic turbulence
  • Can be extended to a 3D geometry

  • Superior Performance Relative to Conventional

Uniform Passive Liners Over Extended Fan Speeds

  • 3 to 10 dB Attenuation Increase Over Uniform Passive

Liners for ADP Fan over the Speed Range of 5200 to 6000 RPM

Uniform Passive Two Segment Passive Hybrid Active/Passive

Near Grazing Incidence Fan Noise; Modest Overall Attenuation. Initial Segment Scatters Modes into Higher Order Radial Modes. Limited Bandwidth of Attenuation Since Liner is Efficient only near Design RPM. Initial Active Control Segment Compensates for Changing Parameters Resulting from Mode Mixture Variations with Fan Speed. High Band- width of Attenuation.
