Imagine you are so tired and want to get your eyes shut. Then, you hear the noise from your air conditioner, and it’s so noisy that it keeps you up all night. You will be very unpleased, won’t you? Noisy HVAC systems are troublesome. The noise can ruin your sleep cycle, which leads to headaches, anxiety, and depression, especially in sound-sensitive people. Thus, how can we reduce noise in the HVAC unit?
To figure out this problem, we have to look into one essential piece of equipment in our unit, a compressor. The faster it runs, the noisier it sounds. As a compressor manufacturer, SCI has developed a solution to reduce both noise and heat loss from the compressors called Thermoacoustic shell. Thermoacoustic shell is a jacket used to cover the compressor body that can help to reduce noise up to 10 dBA and increase heating capacity by about 9%. This shell has also tested under UL94 to ensure that it’s fireproof. Moreover, it can be used in most applications, for instance, heat pumps, refrigeration, and computer room air conditioning (CRAC).

We can’t deny noise is one factor most people consider when they purchase an HVAC unit. Without the nuisance of loud noise, we can peacefully sleep all day and stay on good terms with our neighbors. Moreover, we can maximize the efficiency and the capacity of our units which can help us save more energy and electricity bills. Thus, the thermoacoustic shell can be a great solution to help us keep the unit volume down and allow us to live peacefully in the house with low noise and a high-performance HVAC unit.
