Active control of compressor noise radiation using piezoelectric actuators.

Author(s) : MASTERS A. R., KIM S. J., JONES J. D.

Summary

Active control of sound radiation from a fractional-horsepower reciprocating piston compressor is experimentally investigated. Sound radiation from the compressor is effectively reduced by controlling the shell vibration using piezoelectric actuators bonded to the surface of the compressor shell. Noise reductions of 11-25 decibel are shown for individual compressor pumping harmonics. Basic design considerations are also reviewed.
