Sound- absorption or reflection - Ernest Ekberg -  02-20-2009 12:43
 
 
After installing many generator compartments with the new insulation, I 
was wondering if there is a manufacturer that offers both. 
I insulated Bob Lawrences' generator compartment last December. He 
measured the db levels before and after and found that while the heat 
was reflected from the interior of the coach, the sound was also 
deflected to the outside. thus his db levels INCREASED to over 90. 
I know my with my coach, that I have been asked to park way downwind as 
my generator is really loud. Maybe its the dogs I carry with me??? 
But, if there is a product that will absorb that sound while reflecting 
the heat, let's talk about it.

We will look into re manufacturing or redesigning a similar product 
that will work as sound absorption as well as heat dissipation 
It will take some time to get a satisfactory product.

Let me know what you find Stephen. Am 
about ready to rework my gen compartment.

Boeing is using a foam to insulate their new Dreamliner called 
Basotect.  I don't know anything about it other that it is supposed to 
have high sound absorption capacity and good thermal insulation 
properties.

I would assume that the sound deading material used in these generator compartments actually reflect the nooise down. so the noie is forced under the coaches. Many boats and I belive that some new coaches now have a box lined with sound deading which the generator is placed.  
just a thought

Hi All 
Reading the info sheet on Basotect , sounds like the product were 
looking for . I would like to try it .

To disipate heat, is to transfer it. Steve maybe you can disapate it 
thru a dupree valve back to the tank? Call it Hot$$$$ ? 
 
   I understand that the vault gets up to +250 degrees(USA). I guess 
that is a factor for Ernie to consider once he removed the disipation 
path of the  vault heat to the bus interior. where does that  heat 
now go. 
 
Insulation keeps environments from disapating heat. heat is removed 
so the method to remove the heat in the compartment would now be the 
radiator system  and the diesel engine is the heat sink, but the 
diesel engine caused most of the heat. If the origional design was 
not intended to do that it would have to be beefed up 
 
If you insulate the exhaust the otherwise exposed metal does not 
radiate heat in the compartment. heat goes out the stack with the 
exhast air. But is the stack able to take all the extra heat. 
 
If someone complains to me about the noise my genset is making I 
say "What? can't hear you, my genset is too loud".

Jim, while the some of the noise was deflected down, 30 more db was reflected to the front of the radiator. Bob's coach has the front fan/radiator.
