HVAC duct and condenser noise control in Abu Dhabi

HVAC, plant and machine noise control in Jodhpur

Noise with a source. Almost every honest fix is at the machine, the duct or the plant room, and almost nothing useful happens by lining the far wall of the occupied space. Split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.

At source
Enclosure, barrier or anti vibration mounts at the machine.
In the path
Duct lining, attenuators and lagging on the first run out of the plant.
At the receiver
Only after the first two, and only for what is left.

The product, described honestly, for a Jodhpur brief

Noise with a source. Almost every honest fix is at the machine, the duct or the plant room, and almost nothing useful happens by lining the far wall of the occupied space.

Split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.

Work reaching us from Jodhpur is mostly furniture and stone workshops, heritage hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.

  • Dry heat does not affect the material PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.
  • Stone and wood workshops Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
  • Heritage rooms are hard and tall Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
  • At source Enclosure, barrier or anti vibration mounts at the machine.

Full specification

Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for HVAC and plant noise control are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Jodhpur.

02 / The build-up

What goes where, from the structure in

  1. SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl soundproofing membrane used in projects in Abu Dhabi

    Layer 1

    SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl

    A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Jodhpur, split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.

    Wall, decoupled. Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.

  2. Wood wool acoustic panels for walls and ceilings in Abu Dhabi

    Layer 2

    Wood wool acoustic panels

    Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. In Jodhpur, palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.

    With a porous backing. Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.

  3. Acoustic hanging ceiling baffles in a large open space

    Layer 3

    Ceiling baffles and clouds

    PET felt suspended from the soffit, vertically as baffles or horizontally as clouds. In Jodhpur, school buildings are stone and concrete with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.

    Vertical baffles. Hung on edge in rows. Both faces absorb, so coverage figures based on plan area understate them.

If you are specifying for a Jodhpur project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.

03 / In this market

The Jodhpur conditions that change the answer

  • Dry heat does not affect the material

    PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.

  • Stone and wood workshops

    Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.

  • Heritage rooms are hard and tall

    Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.

  • You often cannot alter the building

    In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.

  • Plant and HVAC

    Split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.

04 / Room by room

Room by room, on a typical Jodhpur job

Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.

04 / Durability

What the Jodhpur climate rules in and rules out

Jodhpur is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.

Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.

The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.

06 / Before you buy

The six errors that cost the most

  • Absorption on the office wall for a plant room problem

    Noise with a source is fixed at the source. Treating the receiving room is the expensive way to get a small result.

  • Lagging a duct that is carrying the noise as breakout from the fan

    Enclose the machine, break the vibration path, then deal with what is left. Doing it in the other order costs more and achieves less.

  • Ignoring structure borne vibration through the mounts

    It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.

  • Treating it as a generic Jodhpur job

    PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.

How material reaches a Jodhpur site

Supply into Jodhpur

Reaches site intwo days
Dispatch2 to 4 working days
To sitetwo days
SupportDrawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete

Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.

By road from Palwal, roughly six hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.

FAQ

Questions from Jodhpur projects

What makes HVAC, plant and machine noise control different in Jodhpur?

Split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs. Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.

Where should the budget go first on a Jodhpur project?

At source. Enclosure, barrier or anti vibration mounts at the machine. In the path. Duct lining, attenuators and lagging on the first run out of the plant.

Do you have an office or installation team in Jodhpur?

No. We manufacture in India and supply into Jodhpur. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.

How does material get to a Jodhpur site?

made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.

What goes wrong most often on this kind of project?

Absorption on the office wall for a plant room problem. Lagging a duct that is carrying the noise as breakout from the fan.

What do you need from us to quote?

A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
