Noise reduction for equipment

Published:  21 February, 2014

Hydraulics specialist R+L HYDRAULICS GmbH is offering a system for reducing hydraulic equipment noise emissions. Consisting of a textile shrouding for hydraulic unit bell housings, the patented NRS system can reduce the total acoustic power output by up to 50%.

The NRS system can be fitted without dismantling the hydraulic unit and is said to be a cost-effective solution as original equipment and for retrofitting to existing hydraulic equipment.R+L Hydraulics was involved in a joint project aimed at developing a solution to the noise problem. The brief was to develop a practical, cost-effective system that could also be retrofitted to existing equipment with poor sound and vibration insulation.The NRS system is available in four different widths and three lengths both as original equipment and as a retrofitting kit.

    Compressed air is a tertiary form of energy, created through the use of electricity which in turn is typically generated by the burning of a primary fuel source – coal, gas or oil. Of the original natural resource, only around 4% of the energy can be successfully converted into compressed air as the rest is lost as both waste heat and through transmission lines. PWE looks at how to cut the cost of compressed air.
