Danfoss Turbocor Mobile Sound Power Measurement System

Highly mobile apparatus to find the sound power value of the Danfoss TT series compressors

Project Overview


Danfoss Turbocor seeks an efficient and consistent way to record sound for their “TT” series compressors while reducing surrounding noise. Customers of Danfoss have requested testing the sound power as a specification for their compressors. A mobile anechoic chamber was requested as an idea from the initial problem statement, but we are also able to come up with various options to perform this task. The chosen mechanism would provide a more efficient way of gathering consistent of sound data. The mobility of the apparatus allows for testing to be easily transferable between testing stations. The compressors are tested for 40 minutes and each test consists of ramping the power to the compressor, holding speed, then powering down. The design will need to be easily and quickly disassembled, as well as easy to store.
