The specific sound power level is a characteristic of fans in technical acoustics . It is used to compare fans with regard to their acoustic sound radiation (see sound power ). For this purpose, the dependence of the sound power of the fan on the current operating point on the fan curve is mathematically abstracted according to Madison's relationship.
The specific sound power level results from:
Here are
- the specific sound power level at the speed
- the measured sound power level at the volume flow and the pressure increase
For a further improved comparability, the specific sound power level is given at a speed of . If a measurement is not possible at this speed, it is recommended to convert the specific sound power level measured at a speed using the following method:
Here are
- the specific sound power level for a speed of
-
the conversion value for a speed of
- Axial fans:
- Centrifugal fans:
Figure 1 shows the dependency of the specific sound power level on the number of diameters for implemented fans based on Schlender . Fans with good acoustic properties are in the area shown in gray.
