<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If you send the pump models, I would be happy let you know if silencers are available for those models, as well as if they have a factory option for enclosures. As Richard
said, Ebara as well as Edwards and Pfeiffer (Acatel/Adixen) make silencers for their dry pump products (claw, multilobe, screw, and scroll). If you are running mainly oil sealed pumps (wet pumps) – reducing the noise from those will be more challenging.
For this reason, many facilities have moved to dry pumps with water cooled motors, as much of the noise generated by vacuum pumps comes from the motor fan on these air-cooled units. As Richard mentioned, you have to be careful about enclosing these, because
the fan is designed to move air as any restriction of this can be problematic on air cooled units.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If you have cryo pump compressors and chillers in your chase (another noise source), these also can be transitioned to water cooled to reduce some of the noise. Obviously,
you need to have sufficient PCW capacity available to make these changes. One thing to check - these units always come from the factory with panels or enclosures. So, if you have these units with missing panels, that would be another good place to start.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">At our former factory in Austin, we had an air-cooled PCW chiller for testing water cooled pumps – it had panels, but I found that using insulating foam tape around the edges
(where the panel contacts the chassis) served to reduce panel vibration, which is sometimes another source of noise. That should not inhibit air flow for cooling - you can purchase that at your local home improvement store, Amazon, etc..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Again, if you want to share your pump models, I’d be happy to give you some info on what might be available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
