Ⅰ. Acoustic Performance Verified by Test Data
The primary principle of noise control is measurability and verifiability. Our recent acoustic tests were conducted to objectively evaluate the tower's sound pressure levels under standard operating conditions.
Testing Methodology: A-weighted sound pressure levels were measured at various distances and heights from the unit in a hemi-anechoic chamber or a site conforming to standard conditions.
Test Results:
Base Unit: Even without silencers, the NCFN series demonstrates significantly lower noise levels than conventional models, thanks to its optimized fan and airflow design.
With Silencers Installed: After equipping the specially designed, removable acoustic silencers, test data confirmed a noise attenuation of up to 20 dB(A). Sound pressure levels can be consistently maintained below 60 dB(A) at a distance of 1 meter, meeting strict urban noise regulations for nighttime operation.
These results validate the effectiveness of our noise reduction design, providing clients with clear performance expectations.
Ⅱ. Core Engineering for Ultra-Low Noise Operation
Low noise is not an isolated feature but a result of integrated design.
The NCFN series' acoustic performance stems from several key engineering innovations:
1. Centrifugal Induced Draft Fan System
Low-Noise Operation: This fan combines the high-pressure advantage of a centrifugal fan with the high-airflow characteristic of an axial fan. Precise blade aerodynamics and lower rotational speeds reduce aerodynamic noise at the source.
Side-Mount Configuration: The fan is independently installed on the dry side of the cooling tower. This placement not only prevents direct moisture erosion, extending service life, but also isolates the noise source from the main tower section, altering the noise propagation path and effectively reducing the overall perceived noise.
2. Specialized Removable Acoustic Silencers
Modular Design: The silencers feature a modular structure, allowing clients to select configurations based on specific project noise limits. Their removable nature facilitates easy maintenance and cleaning, ensuring long-term acoustic integrity.
High-Efficiency Absorptive Material: The interior is filled with acoustic material treated for corrosion and moisture resistance, offering high sound absorption coefficients across a broad frequency range and excellent durability to mitigate fan and water noise effectively.
3.NCFN-L Modular L-Shaped Structure
The unique L-shaped design not only optimizes space utilization but also helps break acoustic resonance, contributing to the reduction of concentrated noise propagation.
Ⅲ. Synergistic Advantages Beyond Acoustic Performance
Professional cooling tower design requires a balance of performance. The NCFN series ensures core reliability and operational economy while achieving ultra-low noise.
Operating Principle Diagram: NCFN Series Closed-Circuit System
Closed-Circuit System: This system prevents contact between the process coolant and outside air, eliminating contamination and evaporation loss. It is ideal for processes requiring high-water purity, significantly reducing water treatment costs.
Armour Anti-Corrosion Coated Steel: The structure utilizes special anti-corrosion coated galvanized steel, with corrosion resistance approaching that of 304 stainless steel at a reduced material cost. This allows stable operation at high cycles of concentration (8-10 or higher), reducing blowdown water volume, chemical usage, and the total cost of ownership.
NCFN series presents a cooling solution that excels in quiet operation, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
The development of the NCFN Ultra-Low Noise cooling tower is based on systematic acoustic analysis and empirical testing. The integrated application of technologies—including the centrifugal induced draft fan, side-mounted configuration, and modular silencers—delivers quantifiable and verifiable low-noise performance. For noise-sensitive projects such as data centers, healthcare facilities, research laboratories, and high-end commercial complexes, the NCFN series presents a cooling solution that excels in quiet operation, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
