CETIAT has a double air conditioned reverberation chamber available.
It also has equipments adapted to measurement of acoustic power by sound intensity method
and by in-duct method.

Tested appliances

• air conditioning units:
  • "split" air conditioners, mobile air-conditioner, fan coil units
  • air handling units, chillers, heat pumps
• ventilation elements
  • air diffusers, air inlets, air transfer devices, mechanical exhaust ventilation systems
  • little construction elements for surfaces < 1m²

Platform performance:

• overall background noise level (100 - 10 kHz) < 19 dB (A)
• acoustic insulation standardised Dn,e up to 51 dB (A)
• cooling capacity up to 40 kW
• water flow rates up to 5 m³/h
• air flow rates up to 10000 m³/h

Performed measurements:
