FAQ

Why is noise control important for data centers?

Noise control is essential in data centers because excessive noise can negatively impact both internal and external environments. Internally, high noise levels can interfere with sensitive electronic devices, leading to malfunctions, decreased efficiency, or even equipment failure. Additionally, prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels can cause discomfort or hearing damage for personnel working within the facility.

Externally, noise pollution from cooling systems, power generators, and turbines can impact neighboring properties and contribute to environmental noise complaints. Effective noise control measures are critical for maintaining operational efficiency, protecting employee safety, ensuring compliance with environmental noise regulations, and minimizing disturbances to surrounding areas.

What noise control solutions does VAW Systems offer for data centers?

VAW Systems provides comprehensive noise control solutions for data centers, including engineered silencers, acoustic panels, and customized systems for cooling systems (Chillers, Cooling Towers, Air Handling Units), backup power systems (generator enclosures, exhaust silencers, inlet silencers), and turbine noise control (gas turbines, air compressors, filtration systems). We also offer retrofit solutions to enhance existing facilities’ noise mitigation capabilities. Our designs are tailored to address specific needs, ensuring high performance and compatibility with your data center’s infrastructure.

How do your products comply with noise control regulations?

Our products are designed to meet or exceed industry standards and relevant regulations, including the Noise Control Act established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
