TP – 1135 An Introduction to Power Plant Acoustics for Professional Engineers

Description

This publication provides noise control data and analysis procedures for design and construction of diesel, gas, and gas turbine engine facilities. The data and procedures are directed primarily toward the control of noise from engine-driven electric generators but are equally appropriate for any power system using reciprocating or turbine’ engines. This discussion applies to all new construction and to major alterations of existing structures. If procedures given in this manual do not provide all the functional and structural needs of a project, recognized construction practices and design standards can be used.
