Application Details:
Combined Heat and Power
SUPPLY SCOPE:
Supply and installation of a bespoke acoustic enclosure for a CHP plant, including roof steelwork structure to accommodate discharge silencers, roof access ladder and perimeter handrailing.
The enclosure was designed with a large double leaf hinged access door to allow future removal of the engine for maintenance purposes.
Installation of the enclosure was undertaken within a basement energy centre / plantroom, and as such, the unit was built up from individual components on site.
Product Selection and Performances:
The enclosure was designed to reduce noise levels to 65dBA at 1m from the side walls

Peaking power plant
APPLICATION DETAILS:
Ventilation modules for large power plant
SUPPLY SCOPE:
Supply and installation of 11 no. inlet and outlet ventilation modules. Inlet units approx. 3.6m wide x 3.6m high x 4.0m long. Outlet units approx. 3.0m wide x 3.0m deep x 3.7m high (including penthouse louvre). Each engine cell was also fitted with acoustic doors and closure panels, supplied by Wakefield Acoustics.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The inlet ventilation modules were designed as a 1-piece, factory assembled unit to assist with a quick site installation. Each of the units included 6 no. axial fans, motorised dampers, acoustic splitters for noise reduction, filtration and inlet weather louvres. Outlet ventilation units comprised of a motorised damper, acoustic splitters and penthouse louvre. The design of each ventilation module included a lifting frame arrangement to allow units to be crane lifted into position.
Product Selection and Performances:
Engine noise levels were typically around 105dBA, and the ventilation modules were designed to reduce noise to 70dBA at 1m.

Acoustic container installation for use in the capacity market.
APPLICATION DETAILS:
Acoustically insulated containers for gas engines for use in the capacity market.
SUPPLY SCOPE:
Design, supply and installation of a series of acoustic containers with overall dimensions of 12m long x 3m wide x 3m high. The complete unit is designed to be lifted from the welded baseplate complete with the 21-ton engine installed.
Wall panels are profiled for additional rigidity during movement and transportation of the full assembly.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The acoustic container is supplied with short cased axial ventilation fans and inlet/exhaust attenuation to suit the required noise levels. Containers are fitted out with lighting and gas detectors within the Wakefield Acoustics factory. Pipe stubs and flanges for the engine exhaust and cooling systems are welded into the container roof, for ease of connection of pipework.
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE:
The high-specification acoustic containers were designed to reduce noise from the engine to 65dBA at one metre.

Acoustic ventilation units installation at a power plant.
APPLICATION DETAILS:
Acoustic ventilation units for a power plant.
SUPPLY SCOPE:
Design, supply and installation of inlet ventilation units and outlet attenuation with ductwork for two gas engine cells in the power plant. The inlet ventilation units comprised of hinged weather louvres, filtration, attenuators, motorised dampers and ventilation fans.
In order to allow for simple on-site installation, the entire acoustic solution was factory assembled on a steel base frame. Wall panels were profiled for additional rigidity during movement and transportation of the full assembly.
Outlet ventilation for each cell comprised of motorised dampers, acoustically insulated duct bends, attenuation and weather louvres.
Wakefield Acoustics scope of supply also included lifting beams for engine maintenance, which were load tested on site.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The one-piece inlet ventilation modules were fully factory assembled, and fixed to a base frame complete with lifting lugs to allow the entire unit to be offloaded and installed within a short timeframe. This assisted with the client’s site programme.
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE:
The high-specification ventilation systems were designed to reduce noise from the engine to 65dBA at one metre.
