Noise, Vibration & Dynamics Performance Optimization for HVAC

HVAC systems are in people’s homes and are where people work, and so we want these systems to be as quiet as possible.  Additionally, too much vibration can lead to excessive wear and reliability issues of the system.  Delivering a quiet system that ends customers want can be a challenge if you don’t truly understand the performance of your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump and the source of the noise and vibration.

Siemens Digital Industries Software offers a comprehensive set of advanced vibration and acoustic simulation and testing solutions that can help you predict the dynamic and acoustic performance of your HVAC system earlier in the development process, as well as determine the source and transfer path of noise in systems that are already installed in buildings.

Noise and vibration are critical performance aspects of HVAC systems.  Too much of either can have a negative impact on the quality of life and comfort for those living and working nearby. Uncontrolled vibration can also directly impact the reliability and longevity of the entire system. To deal with noise and vibration problems, HVAC engineering departments require a very comprehensive set of simulation and testing solutions. These should be capable of handling target setting, product design, refinement, final prototype validation, certification, troubleshooting and more.

Siemens Digital Industries Software simulation and testing solutions can help you spot resonances and noise sources, even from the most unexpected sources. Our portfolio of dedicated noise and vibration solutions includes 3D simulation tools that can be used during early development to predict fan dynamics, vibration and interior and exterior acoustics.  Additionally, Siemens offers the hardware and noise testing expertise for noise, which can be deployed on physical prototypes as well as for correcting issues with existing HVAC installations.
