Powerful engines generate incredible acoustic energy. Immediate and cumulative damage can result in test equipment breakage, facility deterioration, structural fatigue, connector loosening, electronic component failures and calibration drifts. Acoustic, thermal and airflow requirements are critical considerations early in the design of turbine engine support equipment and jet engine test cells.

Atec has recognized experience dealing with sound attenuation around turbine engine testing facilities. Acoustic analysis, lab testing, site surveys, best practices, project experience, field installation tests, customer/operator feedback and acoustic studies are some of the methodologies applied by our technical team to acoustic design considerations. When designs are conceptualized, the Atec - Celtech - Vital Link team has unsurpassed capability in fabrication of heavy structural silencers, manufacture of precision seals and construction of engine test enclosures. Atec has professionals on our team with unmatched practical experience in worldwide field studies and project treatments for aeroengine acoustic energy. Renowned Vital Link experts add to our acoustics and airflow pedigree.

Atec routinely designs jet engine test cells and turbine support equipment to gain frequency spectrum profiles, industrial noise approvals, meet occupational workplace noise exposure limits and avoid noise and vibration complaints. Atec also frequently performs computerized vibration modal analyses, natural frequency reviews, fatigue analyses, noise impact studies, sound surveys and on - site fine tuning. Our engineering team maintains comprehensive consideration of environment, personnel, engines & equipment, operations maintenance and safety when dealing with high levels of sonic, thermal and mechanical energy present in turbine engine test cells.

All new facilities are given an acoustic review during design. Atec is renowned for adapting larger capacity engines into existing test facilities. Acoustic and air flow considerations are usually determinants in such applications. Beyond computer analysis, Atec has 71 years of experience with hands - on utilization of accessories, components, materials, and arrangements to achieve desired acoustic and air flow outcomes.
