This paper deals with the reduction of aerodynamically generated noise in passenger car Cooling-Fan-Modules (CFM), caused by the interaction between the impeller and the downstream-located strut configuration of the axial fan. Even after the car engine is switched off, the fan remains active, as long as cooling is required for certain vehicle components. Especially after a car has been parked in closed parking areas, in close proximity to residential buildings or public places, the noise emission can be a problem. This issue is addressed by dampening the rotor-stator-interaction through passive construction measures. In order to ensure optimal noise reduction, 8 critical design features of the struts are identified and investigated using statistical design of experiment methods (DoE). Based on the results, dedicated insights about the effects of concrete strut features on significant regions of the acoustic fan spectrum are obtained. Furthermore, an optimized strut configuration is derived and metrologically validated using a polyoptimization method. Compared to a current serial baseline configuration, a reduction of the overall sound pressure level by 2.6 dB(A), as well as a reduction of the blade passage frequency tone by 17.6 dB(A) is achieved.

Abstract An experimental investigation was undertaken to determine the causes of noise emission scatter in hosiery machines. Following the experimental measurement of the sound power levels, the hosiery machine’s mechanical system was assembled and tested with components of various sizes. The results indicated that the source of the noise emissions was a bearing’s outer race. Analysis of the outer race’s roundness profile in relation to vibrations provided accurate predictions of machine behavior. On the basis of a correlation between noise and vibrations, a practical method of online monitoring was developed.

Abstract This paper, by the experimental investigation, deals with the effect of different surface topographies on noise generation in gears. Results from the noise assessment of one gear before and after honing are discussed. The honing operation was applied to the gear after the grinding. The gear was tested in an actual gearbox, operated in a test rig. Running conditions were systematically changed during the test; however, the same conditions were utilized for the gear before and after honing. The aim of the study was to identify the mechanism of the expected noise reduction, with surfaces being evaluated in 3D. The following results have been obtained: The total energy in the noise decreases significantly. The magnitude of the tooth-mesh frequency dose not change, but the level of its higher harmonics decreases significantly. These reductions are especially significant, when running at higher rotational speeds or when the applied torque is increased.
