provides is approximately 9 dBA.
The major sources of noise from an Ajax
integral engine compressor package are:
•  Exhaust
•  Silencer
•  Exhaust Lines
•  Air Intake
•  Process and Engine Heat Air Intake Filtered Silencers:
Exchangers Filtered silencers can be utilized on the air
•  Mechanical noise of the engine intake in lieu of a standard air intake
and compressor manifold.
Standard Intake 88 dBA @10ft
Exhaust Silencer: Residential Grade 80 dBA @10ft
Various grades of exhaust silencers are Critical Grade 67 dBA @10ft
available
depending on your sound level requirement Process and Engine Heat Exchangers:
Cooler design can be manipulated to reduce
•  Hospital 89 dBA @10ft noise. Fan tip speed can be reduced as well
•  Critical 83 dBA @10ft as the orientation (i.e. horizontal or vertical)
can affect noise output.
•  Super Critical 76 dBA @10ft
