What is an Acoustic Enclosure for a Generator?
An acoustic enclosure for generator is a specially designed soundproof housing structure that reduces noise produced by generators during operation. These enclosures are typically made from high-density acoustic materials and engineered to absorb, reflect, and dissipate sound energy, ensuring a quieter and more environmentally friendly operation.
We manufacture and supply state-of-the-art generator enclosures that cater to industrial, commercial, and residential power requirements. Whether for diesel generators, gas-powered gensets, or portable generator units, our acoustic solutions are tailored to meet stringent noise pollution norms while enhancing the durability and efficiency of the generator.
Importance of Acoustic Enclosures in Noise Reduction
Noise generated by generators can be extremely disruptive, especially in urban or sensitive environments such as hospitals, schools, offices, and residential areas. Our high-performance acoustic generator enclosures significantly reduce this impact by:
- Suppressing decibel levels by up to 30 dB(A)
- Complying with CPCB, OSHA, and local noise standards
- Providing optimal airflow and thermal management
- Preventing structural noise transmission
Our advanced acoustic containment systems are meticulously designed using aero-acoustic principles, ensuring that airflow dynamics are maintained without compromising sound attenuation.
Key Features of Our Generator Acoustic Enclosures
We offer customized and standard acoustic enclosures for generators ranging from 5 kVA to 3000 kVA and above. The primary features include:
1. Soundproof Performance
Our enclosures are lined with multi-layer acoustic insulation, using rock wool, PU foam, or fiberglass. These materials are encased in perforated GI or aluminium sheets to enhance sound absorption and prevent corrosion.
2. Robust Construction
We use powder-coated galvanized steel, CRCA sheets, or stainless steel for frame construction, offering both durability and resistance to weather conditions. Our designs also incorporate anti-vibration mounts and acoustic louvers to eliminate structure-borne noise.
3. Ventilation and Airflow
Efficient ventilation is crucial to prevent generator overheating. We integrate acoustically treated ventilation systems, including splitter silencers and baffle silencers, which allow optimal air circulation while minimizing noise emissions.
4. Easy Accessibility & Maintenance
Our enclosures feature lockable, hinged access doors, removable panels, and inspection windows, ensuring ease of maintenance and quick accessibility during generator servicing or emergency shut-offs.
5. Weatherproof & Corrosion-Resistant
All enclosures come with weatherproof sealing, UV-protected paint, and IP55-rated panels, making them suitable for outdoor and coastal installations.
Applications of Acoustic Generator Enclosures
Our acoustic enclosures are suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Industrial plants and manufacturing units
- IT parks and data centres
- Residential buildings and apartments
- Hospitals and healthcare centres
- Shopping malls and commercial establishments
- Government and public sector undertakings
- Educational institutions and research labs
These enclosures not only comply with mandatory sound regulations but also ensure uninterrupted business operations without disturbing the surrounding environment.
Types of Acoustic Enclosures for Generators
1. Standard Canopy Enclosures
Compact and cost-effective, these are ideal for small to medium-sized generators. They are factory-built with built-in ventilation and acoustic insulation and can be relocated easily.
2. Containerized Enclosures
Designed for high-capacity generators, these enclosures are typically built inside 20ft or 40ft ISO containers with heavy-duty acoustic insulation, cooling systems, and fire-rated materials. Suitable for large-scale industrial or remote installations.
3. Modular Acoustic Enclosures
These allow on-site assembly and are best for custom requirements. Modules can be easily transported and installed, making them a preferred choice for indoor soundproofing applications where accessibility is limited.
Compliance with International Standards
Our enclosures are designed and manufactured by global acoustic and safety norms, including:
- ISO 8528-10: Sound Level Guidelines for Generator Sets
- CPCB-II Compliance (India)
- EU Noise Directive 2000/14/EC
- OSHA Standards for Workplace Noise
- BS EN ISO 3744/3746: Determination of Sound Power Levels
These certifications ensure that our acoustic enclosures deliver measurable performance and conform to regulatory obligations across multiple jurisdictions.
