For every sound

challenge BAC offers


the perfect solutions

The sound requirements of any heat rejection equipment depend on the


actual environment in which it will be located.
Each environment has its own acoustical conditions and can be ranked in five main
application areas, ranging from least to most stringent acoustical requirements : these
are industrial, urban, suburban, residential and rural.

BAC Product offering - Designed for Silence

BAC offers a complete range of both centrifugal and axial


Product Report

fan products, each having their own specific advantages,


and all designed to meet the lowest possible sound
emissions. The acoustical achievements of axial and
centrifugal fan products are comparable and can be
summarised in the following table :

Acoustical Centrifugal Fan Axial Fan


Requirement Products Products

STRINGENT

Low noise fan and intake


Suburban Light sound attenuation

Urban Standard (no sound att.) Standard, low noise fans

Standard BAC centrifugal and axial fan products


Industrial offer a better sound performance than is typically
required for industrial applications.
* Rural applications are less frequent and require centrifugal fan units.

Research and Development for Products Designed for Silence

At BAC, thermal rating and acoustical test


programs go hand in hand, providing reliable
data for a wide range of operating conditions.
Sound tests are conducted for all equipment with
and without sound
attenuation at various
directions, distances
and fan speeds.
Actual sound rating
data are then published
by BAC for both
centrifugal as well as
axial fan units.

The result of BAC’s extensive R&D sound program is in the broadest and most effective
sound reduction offering available in our industry today.

BAC's Sound Data Sheets


BAC provides sound pressure data per octave band and
sound power data for all four sides and the top of the unit.
For indoor applications BAC provides partial sound
power data at both air inlet and discharge.

Why Centrifugal Fans ? – Why Axial Fans ?


Axial fan products typically consume 50 % lower energy than comparable centrifugal
fan products and are therefore the obvious preference for your heat rejection application.
Centrifugal fan products however offer some specific advantages and are therefore
often used :
 For indoor installations
 For low height requirements (VL-line)
 In installations with high External Static Pressures (e.g. ductwork)
 To avoid plume (in combination with plume abatement coils)
 For specific lay-out restrictions (e.g. single side air inlet)

Conclusion
BAC offers a wide range of centrifugal and axial fan products designed for silence
providing reliable acoustical and thermal data for a wide range of environmental and
operating conditions.
