Function

The attenuation effect of the RK splitters is due to resonance. The splitter surface that runs parallel to the airflow is covered with resonating panels. These panels start oscillating due to the sound (resonance) and hence absorb sound energy. Resonance works best in the frequency range of critical fan noise. The splitters have a mineral wool infill that prevents an amplification of the sound.

Specification Text

Sound attenuator splitters used for the reduction of fan noise and air-regenerated noise in air conditioning systems. Attenuation effect due to resonance. To be used in combination with sound absorbing splitters. Energy-saving as well as hygiene tested. Installation kit consists of an aerodynamically profiled frame (bullnose radius of 0.8 in), sound absorbing material and resonating panels. The splitter frame reduces pressure losses and air-regenerated noise. The special profile helps to reduce the weight and increase the rigidity of the splitters. Frame edges with bullnose to protect the sound absorbing infill. Insertion loss and sound power level of air-regenerated noise measured according to EN ISO 7235. Hygiene compliant with VDI 6022, VDI 3803 Part 1 and DIN 1946 Part 4. Suitable for areas with potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (outside) according to Directive 1999/92/EC.
