Abstract

Effective control of thermal and noise conditions holds a crucial position in various domains and industrial environments. This importance stems from their significant implications for human health and safety, overall comfort and the efficient operation of equipment and systems. This research project focuses on the design and analysis of an acoustic enclosure with improved heat dissipation and motor noise suppression capabilities in industrial environments. The study aims to address the dual challenges of noise suppression and heat management within the enclosure to enhance overall motor performance. By investigating the principles of acoustic enclosures, sound transmission effects and heat transfer mechanisms, a comprehensive design approach was developed. The methodology involved exploring various noise control methods and ventilation systems to optimize the enclosure’s performance. Results from acoustic and thermal analyses demonstrated the effectiveness of the enhanced enclosure design in reducing noise emissions and improving heat dissipation for enclosed motors. The evaluation of results indicated a significant reduction in noise levels and enhanced heat dissipation efficiency compared to conventional enclosure designs. The outcome of this study highlights the feasibility and practicality of the proposed enclosure design in achieving significant noise reduction and enhanced heat dissipation for industrial motor applications. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for engineers and researchers seeking to improve the effectiveness and performance of motor enclosures in noisy environments.
