HVAC Laboratory

Attenuators are vital to control HVAC noise. Designers demand accurate test data to specify ventilation products into a ventilation system.

SRL’s HVAC laboratory offers testing of attenuators for insertion loss, flow generated noise and total pressure drop.

We use the latest testing methods incorporating a modal filter to create a predominantly plane wave sound field which allows some of the most accurate test data available.

We can also test fans, louvres, compressors, almost any HVAC equipment that makes noise or attenuates noise. Our HVAC testing facility is UKAS accredited offering the highest standards of testing.

FAQs

Our HVAC testing facility provides a range of services including silencer testing which enables us to measure performance in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

Q.

Does SRL supply duct work?

A.

We offer a selection of duct work and transfer pieces and can discuss the different options with you.

Q.

Can you apply a system pressure to the unit?

A.

Our rooms incorporate the technology to simulate a typical system pressure if required.

Q.

Does SRL measure airflows?

A.

We can measure the airflow of your units using a pitot traverse in the duct work, down to a velocity of 2m/s.

Q.

When will we get the results for each test?

A.

The provisional result is available as soon as the test has finished and providing we have captured all the information we need, the full technical report will be with you within two weeks.

Q.

What levels will SRL report?

A.

We will report the sound power levels calculated from the measured sound pressure levels. This is the most useful data and doesn’t require any additional information, such as the distance from the source.

We are UKAS accredited for:

  • BS EN ISO 7235:2009

As always the SRL team are knowledgeable, capable and friendly. Every visit is pleasant and they go above and beyond when you need something.
