Clean energy without unnecessary noise – is it possible? Can energy-saving systems be quiet? The answer is yes. Acoustic enclosures effectively solve this problem by reducing noise from heat pumps, air conditioners, and generators to a comfortable level. This not only improves quality of life but also helps meet current noise pollution standards in Europe.
Why Have Acoustic Enclosures Become a Necessity in Europe Today?
In 2025, Europe continues to actively move towards a transition to clean energy, including through the expansion of heat pump usage as part of the REPowerEU program. Although heat pumps make a significant contribution to minimizing carbon emissions and allowing for the efficient use of energy resources, they also become a source of noise. Their operation, like that of air conditioners and generators, leads to increased sound exposure in populated areas.
To address this issue, European governments have introduced strict noise level regulations. In compliance with these requirements, noise control solutions such as acoustic enclosures have been developed to reduce unwanted sound in the range of 12 to 18 dB.
How Does Soundproofing Work in a Steel Acoustic Enclosure?
Sound attenuation is achieved through several key factors:
- The galvanized steel housing blocks the transmission of sound waves to the outside.
- Dense mineral wool lining inside the enclosure reduces acoustic reflections and minimizes internal sound levels.
- Vibration-isolating elements in the base prevent the transfer of vibrations from the operating equipment to the enclosure and mounting surface.
