Improvement of acoustic comfort of an open plan office

Details

Like many other spaces being not closed (open spaces, large open offices), i.e. spaces designed to accommodate more than 5 people without complete separations between the workplaces, an open plan office is a workspace in which various activities can be carried out: telephone, paperwork, etc. Specific equipments must be envisaged to ensure no interference between workstations being generally close.

If the level of performance associated with the acoustic ambience is "efficient", then brief...

Noise limitation of production equipments

Details

Noise limitation of production equipment is often necessary, in general, in order to respect regulatory texts in relation, on the one hand, with the protection of the workers against the risks related to noise exposure and, on the other hand, with the preservation of the environment.

This is particularly the case of an electricity generation facility with gas turbines (combustion turbines), noise being emitted by the various subsets making up each turbomachinery (in addition to noise emissions...

Reduction of noise emitted by two combustion turbines with high power output

Details

In a power plant with gas turbines (combustion turbines), some airborne noise is emitted by the various subsets making up each turbomachinery (in addition to noise emissions associated with the mouths for air intake and exhaust not included in the current project, although regularly studied and subject of simulation and design work by ITS as part of other projects in the field of energy production):

  • the turbine compartment i.e. compressors, combustion chamber, turbine
  • the auxiliary...
