Acoustic Enclosure for Steam Turbine

Engineered noise control solutions for steam turbines — designed, manufactured, and installed by ARK Noise Control (India)

Why Steam Turbine Noise Needs Control

Steam turbines generate noise levels of 95-115+ dB(A) from high-speed rotor rotation, steam flow through blade passages, gearbox meshing, and exhaust steam discharge. In power plants and process industries, steam turbines are among the loudest rotating equipment, creating significant occupational noise exposure for operators and exceeding CPCB boundary noise limits.

How ARK Solves Steam Turbine Noise

ARK designs purpose-built acoustic enclosures for steam turbines that address both casing-radiated noise and structure-borne vibration. Our enclosures feature high-performance Multi-Absorptive Technology panels rated for the dominant mid-to-high-frequency noise spectrum of turbines, silenced ventilation to manage turbine heat rejection, vibration-isolated base frames to break structure-borne noise paths, and large removable panels and access doors for turbine maintenance and overhauls.

Key Benefits

  • Noise reduction of 10 to 40+ dB(A) depending on panel configuration
  • Silenced ventilation sized for turbine heat dissipation requirements
  • Vibration-isolated foundation to prevent structure-borne noise transmission
  • Large removable panels for turbine overhaul and rotor extraction
  • Fire-rated construction available for hazardous area installations
  • Compatible with NoiseLAG jackets for combined attenuation on piping and valves
