3.8.Noise Control
Reducing the sound level is a key factor in today’s generator set technologies. TEKSAN generator sets are
designed and manufactured for providing an optimum sound level by regarding this fact.
Extra additional equipment may be installed to the generator set systems for minimizing the sound level. Some
of the precautions taken against high sound levels are, sound insulated canopies or rooms, exhaust silencers,
acoustic shutter windows or hoods.
The solutions and precautions against high sound levels are really dependent on varying environmental conditions.
So it is strictly recommended to get professional help when designing special sound reduction systems.
The sound level of a non-insulated diesel generator set is around 100-110 dB from 1 meters. The lowest possible
sound level (also by regarding the economic facts) in generator set applications, is around 65-75 dB. Sound level
reduction is a really important parameter for generator set applications used in hospitals, schools, residential areas,
offices etc…
Exposure to a sound level higher than 85 dB for a long time, may cause hearing problems. So it is recommended to
wear ear plugs around a running generator set.
Teksan generator sets are met the noise level norms given in EU 2000-14-EC standards which is valid for the
generator sets under 500kVA.
