SILENCERiQ – an easy and efficient tool for silencer selection and sizing

A wide selection of ETS NORD silencers might raise the question of how a designer can be sure that their choice is indeed the best possible one.

Especially when it comes to rectangular, fully customizable lamella silencers, it can sometimes be challenging to choose from a wide selection. What type of silencer is most suitable for the application, does the environment require special material considerations such as corrosion resistance, and which damping material provides the best sound attenuation?

Solutions to these and many other challenging sound attenuation issues can be found in ETS NORD’s developed SILENCERiQ selection program.

SILENCERiQ is a reliable, fast, and easy-to-use tool that allows you to compare the performance of different silencers in the ventilation ducts of your design project. By inputting the necessary data for your project into the program, you will receive a comprehensive and clear report on both the initial noise level and the condition of the duct system after the addition of the silencer.

SILENCERiQ also includes a convenient and easy-to-use MagiCAD Plugin feature. It further speeds up the selection and sizing process for angular and rectangular lamella silencers by determining the most suitable silencer for the project based on duct size and airflow. Performing silencer sizing with the SILENCERiQ MagiCAD Plugin eliminates the need to use multiple sizing programs simultaneously, thus significantly saving the designer’s time and effort.

In addition to individual duct systems, the SILENCERiQ MagiCAD Plugin can perform the necessary silencer sizing for the entire duct system. The software can model the entire duct system’s noise level calculations. Thus, the SILENCERiQ Plugin helps to make the system as reliable and efficient as possible.

SILENCERiQ is continuously evolving to meet the increasing needs of HVAC designers as effectively as possible. New advanced features related to sound calculation are added as they are deemed to genuinely facilitate the designer’s work.
