Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBPOptimum Sound Insulation for Ventilation Systems: Your Solution for a Quieter Environment
Our test facility for determining the shaft sound level difference of ventilation systems provides a detailed analysis of multi-floor air ducting systems. In accordance with DIN 52210-6:2013, sound transmissions from ventilation ducts, exhaust air systems or individual components such as shaft branches can be measured. The test setup simulates realistic conditions with a variable duct system and separate duct branches for sending and receiving rooms. Strategically placed microphones at important points record the sound levels, delivering precise results to optimize ventilation systems. With a sound level difference of at least 55 dB, our test facility meets the highest standards for sound insulation analyses.
By partnering with the experts at the Fraunhofer IBP, you benefit from state-of-the-art measurement technology and decades of experience of the Acoustics Department. Our tests reveal weak points in your ventilation systems, allowing you to implement targeted improvements. This helps enhance the efficiency and quality of your products while meeting the highest acoustic standards – a decisive competitive advantage and a guarantee for customer satisfaction.
