Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the acoustic problems of the conventional heat recovery ventilator and to suggest the methods of noise reduction from a heat recovery ventilator according to the installed location. The noise level, in this study, was measured and discussed as the parameters of size, wind volume and sound absorbing duct length for a heat recovery ventilator based on domestic and international related standards. It is found, as a result, that almost all of noise levels from the small and medium heat recovery ventilators without the sound absorbing duct in the anechoic chamber were higher than the noise standard value of 50 dB(A) regardless of the wind volume, and the noise levels went down when a sound absorbing duct was installed. In addition, the sound pressure level relative to frequency bands according to the length of sound absorbing duct was generally decreased, as the length of sound absorbing duct in the small and medium heat recovery ventilators was big, and the sound pressure level was generally increased, as the wind volume was great.

본 연구에서는 기존 열회수형 환기장치의 음향 문제점을 파악하고, 흡음덕트 설치위치별 열회수형 환기장치의 소음저감 방안을 강구하기 위하여 관련된 국내 외 규격을 기준으로 열회수형 환기장치의 크기, 풍량 및 흡음덕트 길이를 파라미터로 한 발생소음을 측정하여 비교하고 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 무향실에서 열회수형 환기장치에 대한 소음은 흡음덕트를 설치하지 않았을 경우에 소형 및 중형 모두 풍량에 관계없이 거의 대부분 소음기준인 50 dB(A) 보다 높게 나타났고, 흡음덕트를 설치하였을 경우에는 소음도가 감소됨을 알았다. 또한, 흡음덕트의 길이에 따른 주파수 대역별 음압수준은 소형과 중형 열회수형 환기장치에서 흡음덕트의 길이가 클수록 대체적으로 감소하였고, 풍량이 클수록 대체적으로 음압수준이 증가하였다.
