For Utilities, Highways/Transportation, Rooftop Equipment and Residential Noise Compliance
Control of Noise and Vibration
is essential for Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality. Kinetics Noise
Control has the expertise to provide cost effective, practical solutions -
standard or custom engineered.
The control of noise in every day life is very important. Unwanted noise can cause stress related illness and severe noise can cause hearing damage. To meet these requirements and to help solve many noise problems, Kinetics manufactures a complete line of acoustical panels called Noiseblock Barrier Panels. These panels can be quickly and easily assembled to provide complete or partial walls for utilities, transportation/highways, cooling towers, chillers, condensers, rooftop equipment and residential noise barriers. These panels are designed to be easily erected in the field and are also designed to provide optimum noise control through sound absorption and sound transmission loss and structural stability.
Utilities
Electrical sub-stations which contain transformers, generators, etc. cause
unwanted noise and at times can be unpleasant to view. They can be treated with
our barrier panel systems which reduce the unwanted noise to acceptable levels.
The panels are more aesthetically pleasing when treated with a coating system to
match the surrounding areas.
Transportation/Highways
Noise from traveling motorists on major highways/interstates, airport areas, and
railways are effectively reduced using our reflective or absorptive barrier
panel systems.
Rooftop Equipment
Chillers, Condensers, Cooling Towers, etc. are equipment which can cause
unwanted noise for surrounding residential and business communities. Our barrier
panel systems can be constructed to reduce the noise to acceptable levels in
these working or living environments.
Residential Compliance
Most neighborhoods have a strict compliance that should be maintained for
hearing protection as well as comfort levels. Our barrier panels can be used for
shopping malls, schools, recreational facilities, parks and many other outdoor
applications that may need noise control.
Noise Control Curtains
Description
Kinetics Model KNC Noise Control Curtain
Enclosures are modular heavy reinforced limp mass vinyl panels or vinyl and
quilted fiber glass composites designed to contain noise or to act as a movable
barrier between noisy and quiet areas. Kinetics Noise Control Curtain Systems
incorporate a self-supporting track which allows the curtain to open for access
at virtually any point along the enclosure.
Kinetics curtains are available from 1/2 to 2-1/2 PSF (2.5 to 12.5 kg/m2) surface weight and provide an average increase in sound transmission loss of up to 29 decibels. The systems are typically used for applications where accessibility, toughness, oil and chemical resistance and an attractive appearance are required.
Each curtain panel is furnished with Velcro self-adhering nylon closures along the entire length of each edge and grommets along the top.
Kinetics Model KNC-50C and 100C Clearview Curtains or windows are available where monitoring of equipment is required. Models KNC-50RB and 100RB are light tan reinforced vinyl barriers. Models KNC-50RB and 100RB are light tan reinforced vinyl barriers. Models KNC-50RBQ and 100RBQ have an aluminum-faced, quilted fiber glass absorber on one side to help reduce sound reverberation within the enclosure. Models KNC-50BQQ and 100BQQ are vinyl barriers completely encased with the quilted fiber glass absorber on both sides and are designed where additional absorption and Class A flame and smoke test requirements are needed.
Channel support systems for curtains are 1-5/8" x 1-5/8" (41 mm x 41 mm) 12-gauge rolled channel that can be self-supporting or supported form the ceiling. Curtain panels can be attached to the support system by two-wheel trolly assemblies for movable curtains or fixed to the support system by mechanical fasteners for a non-movable curtain. Standard curtain panels are 48" (1219 mm) or 54" (1372 mm) wide in lengths of up to 20'0" (6096 mm). Kinetics Model KSD strip doors are easily incorporated into Model KNC curtain systems.
Applications
Model KNC Curtain Systems can be
used as a partial or complete enclosure around most noise sources. Curtains are
especially useful for enclosures around industrial equipment since the enclosure
is more versatile and economical than a rigid enclosure. Typical applications
include enclosures around punch presses, compressors and pumps.
Specifications
Curtain systems shall consist of panels which meet the specifications and
physical properties of the curtain material above. Each panel shall be furnished
with Velcro self-adhering nylon closures along the entire length of each edge.
Support points at the top of each panel shall be reinforced at grommet locations
not more than 12" (305 mm) apart. Support systems for curtains shall be 1-5/8" x
1-5/8" (41 mm x 41 mm) 12-gauge formed channel with associated hardware as
designed by Kinetics Noise Control. Entire system shall be Model KNC as
manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control, Inc.
