Power Measurements

The uncertainty of determining the sound power of HVAC equipment using the AHRI Standard 230 sound intensity measurement method is presented. Measurements of six different reference sound sources (RSS) at four different laboratories, by nineteen different individuals with four different instrumentation systems are presented. From 2004 through 2020, these measurements were performed as part of a training program at Johnson Controls HVAC test laboratories to qualify technicians and engineers on the use of sound intensity instrumentation. The results illustrate the reproducibility of sound intensity measurements using the scanning method of AHRI Standard 230.

Automatic Positioning

This paper presents the procedure for measuring the sound intensity. The procedure was realized in such a way that therobotic arm carries the intensity probe and performs automatic positioning at the appropriate measurement points. In order todetermine the deviation value, a comparison was performed of sound intensity measurement obtained using robot and the measurementmanually performed by two people. Also, the measurement process was repeated for both the automated and manual positioning of theprobe, which resulted in deviation values for these two types of measurements. The differences in the total sound power of the sourceobtained by automated and manual measurements of the sound intensity were also analyzed. Using a robot arm significantly facilitatesthe measurement process and achieves higher measurement accuracy. Such use of robots can be of interest in measuring the intensity ofsound of complex sound sources in a large number of points, where high accuracy of intensity measurement is required.
