Blade Dampers and Noise Generation

Sponsored Links

The noise generated in a single opposed blade damper can be estimated from the chart below:

• (1 mm water H₂O) = (9.81 Pa)  = (9.81 N/m²) = (1 kg/m²) = (0.0736 mm mercury) = (0.9677 10^-4 atm) = (0.00142 psi)

The noise level generated depends on the volume flow through the damper and can be corrected using the table below
