Abstract
An acoustic panel for an enclosure includes a panel plate having opposite interior and exterior sides, and an acoustic module assembly including a plurality of acoustic modules secured on the interior side of the panel plate. Each acoustic module includes a retainer having a retainer base, spaced in generally opposing relationship with the panel plate, and upper and lower retainer walls extending outward from the retainer base toward the panel plate to define a horizontal channel-shaped cavity. An acoustic insulation member is received in the horizontal channel-shaped cavity of the retainer, such that the acoustic insulation member is positioned between the interior side of the panel plate and the retainer base.

An acoustic panel for an enclosure comprising:
- a panel plate having opposite interior and exterior sides;
- an acoustic module assembly including a plurality of acoustic modules secured on the interior side of the panel plate, wherein each acoustic module includes
- a retainer having a retainer base, spaced in generally opposing relationship with the panel plate, and upper and lower retainer walls extending outward from the retainer base toward the panel plate to define a horizontal channel-shaped cavity, and
- an acoustic insulation member received in the horizontal channel-shaped cavity of the retainer, such that the acoustic insulation member is positioned between the interior side of the panel plate and the retainer base.
An acoustic module for a panel of an enclosure, the acoustic module comprising:
- a retainer having a perforated retainer base, upper and lower retainer walls extending outward from the retainer base to define a horizontal channel-shaped cavity, and upper and lower lips extending toward one another from respective upper and lower retainer walls to define respective upper and lower tracks extending along the horizontal channel-shaped cavity;
- and
- an acoustic insulation member received in the horizontal channel-shaped cavity of the retainer, wherein the acoustic insulation member has upper and lower edge margins received in respective upper and lower tracks of the retainer to facilitate retention of the acoustic insulation member in the horizontal channel-shaped cavity.
A method of making an acoustic panel for an enclosure comprising:
- stacking a plurality of acoustic modules on an interior side of a panel plate, each acoustic module including a retainer having a retainer base and upper and lower retainer walls extending outward from the retainer base to define a horizontal channel-shaped cavity, and an acoustic insulation member received in the horizontal channel-shaped cavity of the retainer;
- and
- attaching a module frame to the interior side of the panel plate to secure the stacked plurality of acoustic modules on the interior side of the panel plate.
