Noise reduction in DI piping system
Noise reduction in DI piping system
(OP)
We are currently looking into noise reduction of our DI system. I am not up on all of the details just yet, like level of dBA reduction and the problematic frequencies, but I wanted to get a feel for what options are out there. I attended a noise control engineering training session about a year ago, but that's about all the experience I've had. What are some of the more common applications and solutions?

Steam or electric drives on the BFW pumps and what flow/pressures?
RE: Noise reduction in DI piping system
The BFW pumps are electric motor driven and very large. There are six of them in the building. At this time, we're focusing on the DI noise b/c it is a much more piercing frequency.
RE: Noise reduction in DI piping system
generally you won't have much noise from liqud filled lines. it is the high pressure drop applications and the steam lines that dominate the noise sources.
