Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a system for controlling acoustical noise generated by electrical or electronic equipment. The invention consists of a sealed enclosure having acoustically absorbent inner walls, a transparent sealed front door, a hinged sealed rear access panel to facilitate equipment wiring and installation and a high volume/low pressure air cooling system and additional sound and vibration absorption elements. Means for monitoring and controlling internal cabinet temperature and sealed electrical ports for interfacing the equipment housed within the enclosure to the outside while substantially reducing acoustical noise generated by that equipment.
Claims13
A system for controlling noise and managing heat generated by electrical equipment comprised of
- a sealed enclosure,
- an air intake port containing means for reducing sound transmission,
- an air exhaust port containing means for reducing sound transmission,
- means for moving air through the enclosure from the intake port to the exhaust port without the generation of unwanted noise outside said enclosure,
- vibration absorbing means for mounting electrical or electronic equipment inside said enclosure and
- means for connecting external wiring into said enclosure.
The system described in claim with the addition of means for measuring the air temperature within said enclosure and means for displaying said air temperature within said enclosure.
A system for controlling noise and managing heat generated by electrical equipment comprised of
- A sealed enclosure,
- an air intake port containing means for reducing sound transmission,
- an air exhaust port containing means for reducing sound transmission,
- a front door including a gasket in which said gasket serves as an air-tight sealing mechanism and as a vibration dampening device for said door and
- vibration absorbing means for mounting electrical or electronic equipment within said enclosure;
- means for connecting external wiring into said enclosure,
- a back door including a gasket in which said gasket serves as an air-tight sealing mechanism and as a vibration dampening device and
- means for moving air through the enclosure from the intake port to the exhaust port without the generation of unwanted noise outside said enclosure.
