				Sound- absorption or reflection 
				 
					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. Ernie-83PT40 in Texas, buying earplugs by the case~  |

					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. Regards, Terry Terry Neal  |

					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.

					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".

					why thank you for the mindless dribble another useless comment
