A system approach to appliance compressor quieting using active noise control techniques.

Author(s) : SMITH D. G., ARNOLD M. F., ZIEGLER E. W. Jr, et al.

Summary

The problem of refrigerator quieting has been approached as a system. Overall system noise was reduced by a combination of active and passive techniques using existing technology. The compressor itself was analyzed and the application of quieting methods was researched with promising results. A quieter system can be obtained without modifying the compressor itself. Future work in designing a quieter compressor combined with the active enclosure will produce a very quiet appliance.
