How to manage the high noise of air conditioning and low frequency noise in geriatric hospitals.
As the population ages, the demand for geriatric hospitals is increasing. However, in the process of operation of geriatric hospitals, problems such as high noise and strong low-frequency noise of air conditioners often plague medical staff and patients. This article will explain how to control the noise and low-frequency noise of air conditioners in geriatric hospitals to create a quiet and comfortable environment for patients and medical staff.
1. Analysis of noise sources.
The noise of air conditioning in geriatric hospitals is mainly due to the following aspects:
1.Fan operation air conditioner needs to rely on fan operation to achieve air circulation, so fan is one of the main sources of noise.
2.Compressor work: The compressor is the core component of the air conditioner, and the noise generated when it works is also relatively large.
3.Airflow Disturbances: Disturbances in airflow in air conditioning ducts can also produce noise.
4.Low-frequency noise: The low-frequency noise of the air conditioner in the geriatric hospital** is often caused by the vibration of the equipment, which is difficult to be detected by the general public, but will have a certain impact on the body.
2. Governance measures.
In view of the above noise sources, the following are some treatment measures:
1.Choose low-noise equipment: When choosing the best air-conditioning equipment, low-noise and low-vibration equipment should be preferred. For example, fans with a volute with a backward tilting design are chosen to reduce the noise generated by air movements. For compressor equipment, high-performance compressors should be selected to improve work efficiency and reduce noise.
2.Reasonable arrangement of air supply and return air outlets: The position of air supply and return air outlets has a great impact on the airflow, and if the layout is not appropriate, it is easy to produce airflow disturbance, resulting in noise. Therefore, the location and size of the air supply and return air outlets should be fully considered in the design stage to ensure smooth airflow.
3.Install shock absorbers: Air conditioning equipment vibration tends to cause low-frequency noise, so the installation of shock absorbers should be considered during the installation phase to reduce the impact of equipment vibration on the surrounding environment.
4.Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance of air conditioning equipment can reduce the equipment failure rate, thereby reducing the noise caused by equipment failure. For example, regular cleaning of fans and replacement of worn parts can ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
5.Building sound insulation measures: In the building design and decoration stage, some sound insulation measures can be considered to reduce the impact of ** air conditioning equipment on the surrounding environment. For example, adding sound insulation materials to the envelope of the building, or setting up noise barriers around the equipment room, etc.
6.Reasonable planning of indoor layout: Improper indoor layout can also lead to poor airflow, which can produce noise. Therefore, in the interior decoration stage, reasonable planning of the interior layout should be considered to avoid airflow disturbance caused by furniture placement and other reasons.
7.Choose a professional acoustic design company for acoustic design: A professional acoustic design company can provide targeted solutions according to specific situations, and ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the treatment plan through accurate calculations and simulation experiments. For example, acoustic equipment such as sound-absorbing materials and soundproof panels can be used to achieve sound absorption, sound insulation, noise reduction and other effects.
In short, the problem of high noise and strong low-frequency noise of air conditioning in geriatric hospitals needs to be treated from many aspects. The selection of low-noise equipment, the reasonable arrangement of air supply and return air outlets, the installation of shock absorbers, regular maintenance, building sound insulation measures, reasonable planning of indoor layout, and the selection of professional acoustic design companies for acoustic design are all effective management measures. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, the impact of air conditioning equipment on the surrounding environment can be effectively reduced, a quiet and comfortable environment can be created, which is conducive to the physical and mental health of patients and medical staff, and provides a better guarantee for the operation and development of geriatric hospitals.
