Annotation:

Microperforated metal panels can be efficiently applied to reduce noise in the industry, specifically at explosive, fire-hazardous, and chemically hazardous production facilities. The study presents the results of an experimental assessment of the reverberation coefficient of sound absorption for a microperforated aluminum panel in diffuse sound field conditions. The effects of sound level reduction (to 10.6 dBA) of a stationary power unit when using molded microperforated panels in thermally exposed areas of internal combustion engine and exhaust systems are demonstrated.
