Sound Attenuators
IAC Ltd. is the world’s largest manufac-

turer of noise and coustic control products
and systems and has over 50 years of expe-
rience of attenuator design, manufacture and
application.
All attenuators are laboratory developed and

tested under controlled conditions in IAC
Aero-Acoustic Laboratory. The laboratory
is equipped with the most up-to-date instru-
mental and computer systems, and able to
conduct acoustic and aerodynamic tests in ac-
cordance with British and major international
codes.
SOUND ATTENUATORS
IAC Silencers are rated under operating

condiitons in the most advanced Aero-Acous-
tic R & D laboratory available.
Recent work has resulted in a unique energy saving design of dissipative attenuators with an enhanced
acoustic performance aiflow frequencies, packaged within a shorter length and smaller cross-sections than
conventional attenuators generally in use at the present time.
In addtion, the acoustic performance is more uniformly spread over the acoustic spectrum enabling the
design engineer to match attenuator requirements more closely at all frequencies without costly excess of
attenuation at middle frequencies. A conscious effort has been made towards energy saving, and this has
been achieved by an improved aerodynamic entry configuration resulting in a lower pressure loss across the
attenuator.
Key Features
- Energy Saving
- Shorter Length
- Smaller cross-section
- Increased Low Frequency Attenuation
- More Uniform Attenuation over the
Acoustic Spectrum
- Modular Design for Size Flexibility
This new “RAS” attenuator concept is

of modular design and available in a

CYLINDRICAL ATTENUATORS

Introduction
Introduction
The ATAI/SAL range of cylindrical attenuators
has long been established for both industrial and
air conditioning applications. They have been de-
veloped with special concern for both “on-fan”
and “in-duct” situations. The success of this range
has enabled new methods of manufacture to be
implemented, which in turn permits a wider range
to be offered without cost penalties. This bro-
chure details the new range of attenuators which
match both imperial and metric fan ranges.
The Range
The CA (imperial range) and MCA (metric range)
are simple “straight through” attenuators supplied
in the wide range of sizes and flanged for direct
attachment to most axial flow fans; they are equally
suitable for centrifugal fan inlet connections. The
complementary CPA (imperial) and MCPA (met-
ric) ranges with concentric pod give high attenua-
tion potential. Both have been optimized from the
vast quantity of site and laboratory information avail-
able for “on-fan” applications.
Each range is available in two lengths CA-1D and

MCA-1D, length equal to one diameter. 1
CA-2D and MCA-2D, length equal to two diam-
eters.
CPA-1D and MCPA-1D, length equal to one di-
ameter.
CPA-2D and MCPA-2D, length equal to two di-
ameters.
It has long been realized that, with high airflow
velocities, a critical balance must be made between
the available “silencing” action and the airflow re-
generated noise. The relatively high velocity air-
flows of high pitch angle axial flow fans pose a
problem which falls into this class. It has been
found that, for these operating conditions, the ef-
fective “on-fan” dynamic insertion loss in the mid
frequency bands is not appreciably improved by 2 3
increasing the length of the CPA attenuator in ex-
cess of a length equivalent to the diameter of the
unit. The term “dynamic insertion loss” is used with cylindrical attenuators directly connected to 1. Cylindrical Attenuators at ATAI factory.

Louvre Installation
The illustrations on this page are intended as a guidance only for the more basic installation situations.
Further details and advice is available for specific projects.
Fitting to Openings - Fig.3 Installation in Structural Opening

The recommended method of installation is shown
in the adjacent diagram by steps.
1) Set the louvre assembly square and true in the
wall - from the interior or the exterior (where
angle trims are fitted to the outside perimeter of
the louvre, access is only possible from the exte- 2
rior).
2. Wedge and pack between the louvre and the
structure from both sides.
3. Make fixing to surrounding structure. Where a 4
timber sub-frame is employed fixing is via the holes
drilled in the side of the units. Where no sub-frame
can be used, fixing is direct to the structure through 3
the sides at positions compatible with the form of
structure or, where the louvre is wider in section 1
than the wall, by use of angle frame fixings from
the near. A wide range of methods have been used
effectively. Sound Attenuators should be consulted 3
in unusual cases.
4. Seal around the perimeter of the louvre from 4
the exterior by injection of polysulphide sealant
between casing and builders’ work opening. Where
LOUVRES
an angle trim is used, the building side of the trim

should be covered in sealant prior to insertion of 2
the louvre and the seal made good (see alternative
detail).
Additional weathering may be necessary at the top

of louvres applied to very roughly textured sur-
faces on highly exposed facades. At the sill, sec-
tions may be inserted under the tip of the bottom
blade for improved weathering particularly in rela-
tion to louvres set back from the surface of the
building.
Multi-Section Louvres-Fig.4
Structural steel space frames are supplied with lou-
vre modules and fixing screws are supplied for con-
nection with adjacent units using the pre-drilled
fixing holes.
Where units are stacked one above another, the

framing is projected marginally below and above
the louvres to ensure that loading is taken by the
frame. The gap between louvres is sealed by a
compressible sealing strip.
Cover channels are available with finished louvres

to bridge the framing, where continuous louvres
are used matching cover strips are fixed to blades
on one side of the joint only leaving a small gap
beneath for thermal expansion.
When angle trims are supplied for multi-section

louvres they are not continuous but supplied as a
kit of parts i.e. four corners plus a suitable quantity

of straight sections - parts are suitably notched to

clear the spacer frames. Framing pieces should be
fixed to louvre units before positioning and the
order of assembly may be important in such a case.
