HVAC Acoustic Screens
Acoustic Screens for Industrial Plant HVAC Systems
Safetylyne designs, manufactures, and installs engineered acoustic screens for industrial environments.
These acoustic barriers are purpose-built for external HVAC plants, cooling towers, and chiller plants. The acoustic screens reduce noise transmission, maintain structural integrity, and provide compliant maintenance access.
Acoustic Barriers for Commercial and Industrial Sites
Mechanical plant noise requires early design consideration, as rooftop HVAC and cooling plants operate continuously and can impact surrounding environments. Well-engineered acoustic control supports compliance and long-term building performance. Safetylyne designs and manufactures acoustic enclosures and screens for external HVAC systems, integrating noise attenuation with safe, compliant access.
An acoustic enclosure is a purpose-built structure designed to reduce sound transmission from mechanical plant equipment.
Acoustic screens play a crucial role in controlling mechanical plant noise on rooftops and external plant areas by:
- Reducing airborne noise
- Limit sound reflection and reverberation
- Shield surrounding properties from mechanical plant noise
- Assist with compliance with local council and environmental noise requirements
- Maintain ventilation and equipment performance
- Improve building aesthetics to conceal HVAC equipment
- Provide authorised access to plant
- Assist with architectural colour coordination
- Use of hydrophobic materials minimising moisture retention
Safetylyne acoustic screens are engineered with consideration for structural loads and maintenance access requirements.
How Acoustic Screens Improve HVAC Noise Control
Noise from HVAC equipment travels in two main ways:
- Direct airborne transmission
- Reflected and amplified sound from nearby structures
and substrates
An engineered acoustic screen reduces noise by:
- Blocking direct line-of-sight sound paths
- Using absorptive internal linings to reduce reflected noise frequency
- Increasing transmission loss through mass-loaded panels
- Use of solid materials within screen details to provide a solid noise barrier.
What do you have to consider when choosing an acoustic screen for your plant: Correct height, panel thickness, absorptive material selection and spacing from the plant are critical factors. A poorly designed screen can reduce performance or even increase turbulence and vibration.
This is where engineered design matters.
Engineered Plant Acoustic Panels for Australian Conditions
Safetylyne designs and manufactures acoustic panels specifically for rooftop and plant applications in Australia.
Safetyltne acoustic barriers are:
- Structurally engineered to comply with AS 1170 wind loading requirements
- Designed for coastal and high-wind environments
- Hydrophobic materials minimise moisture retention
- Fabricated from durable, corrosion-resistant materials
- Manufactured with quality control protocols
- Integrated with compliant height safety access systems
Materials Used in Acoustic Screens
Material selection in Plant Acoustic Screens directly affects acoustic performance and durability.
Typical engineered acoustic panels may include:
- Perforated external aluminium cladding
- High-density acoustic insulation cores
- Weather-resistant internal absorptive linings
- Structural framing engineered for rooftop loads
- Powder-coated finishes to match façade and architectural intent
All materials are selected for durability, corrosion resistance, long-term outdoor exposure with hydrophobic properties.
