Fans are widely used in industry for heat dissipation or airflow production. It is achieved by driving a motor of fan to rotate a number of blades. Most industrial fans can be categorized into one of two general types: centrifugal fans and axial fans. However, fan noise is loud when the motor speed is high. This article develops using active noise control (ANC) system to reduce noise from both centrifugal and axial fans. By integrating loudspeakers and microphones, we present multiple-channel feedback ANC structure with the filtered-X least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm to simultaneously reduce noise from the inlet and the outlet of the fans. Several realtime experiments verify that the proposed method and experimental setup not only reduces the narrowband noise but also achieves the global cancellation of the fan noise.

In practical active noise control (ANC) systems, the primary path and the secondary path may be nonlinear and time-varying. It has been reported that the linear techniques used to control such ANC systems exhibit degradation in performance. In addition, the actuators of an ANC system very often have nonminimum-phase response. A linear controller under such situations yields poor performance. A novel functional link artificial neural network (FLANN)-based simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) algorithm, which functions as a nonlinear mode-free (MF) controller, is proposed in this paper. Computer simulations have been carried out to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the standard filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm, and performs better than the recently proposed filtered-s least mean square (FSLMS) algorithm when the secondary path is time-varying. This observation implies that the SPSA-based MF controller can eliminate the need of the modeling of the secondary path for the ANC system.

Active Noise

Active Noise Control (ANC) has been considered a promising technology for the abatement of acoustic noise from the mid-20th century. Feedback and Feedforward ANC algorithms, based on the destructive interference principle applied to acoustic waves, have been developed for different applications, depending on the spectrum of the noise source. Feedback ANC algorithms make use of a single control microphone to measure an error signal which is then employed by an adaptive filter to estimate the noise source and generate an opposite-phase control signal. The Fx-LMS (Filtered-X Least Mean Square) algorithm is mostly adopted to update the filter. Feedback ANC systems have proven to be effective for the abatement of low-frequency quasi-steady noises; however, different challenges must be overcome to realize an effective and durable system for high-temperature application. This paper aims at experimentally assessing the feasibility of a Feedback Fx-LMS ANC system with off-line Secondary Path estimation to be used in mid-size diesel gensets for the reduction of the exhaust noise. Several solutions are proposed, including the mechanical design, the development of the Fx-LMS algorithm in the LabVIEW FPGA programming language, and the key features required to prevent parts from thermal damage and fouling. The developed prototype was implemented on a 50-kW diesel genset and tested in a semi-anechoic chamber. The noise abatement inside the exhaust pipe and at different measurement points around the machine was evaluated and discussed, showing good potential for improving the acoustic comfort of genset users.
