OverviewALD – Sound attenuating exterior wall grille designed to reduce noise from fans and plant rooms.
Key features- Very good sound attenuation across octave bands
- Robust grille construction suitable for demanding climatic conditions
- Standard materials: galvanised sheet steel (Corrosivity class C3) or aluminium (Corrosivity class C4)
- Optional materials/finishes: stainless steel, alu-zinc or painted finish
- Available in double design for extra sound attenuation
- Included in the MagiCAD database
Product descriptionThe ALD acoustic louvre reduces airborne noise originating from plant rooms, fans and machinery. Sound is attenuated as it passes through absorbent baffle vanes filled with sound-attenuating material, providing effective exterior noise control.
DesignSound attenuation is achieved by aerodynamically profiled, sound-absorbing baffle vanes arranged within the grille. The design provides efficient airflow while reducing transmitted noise from mechanical equipment.
Material and surface treatmentThe ALD is supplied in galvanised sheet steel (Corrosivity class C3) or aluminium (Corrosivity class C4). The acoustic baffle vanes are filled with ISOVER Cleantec® PLUS. Surface treatment with paint is available where corrosion protection is required.
Installation, commissioning and maintenanceThe grille is supplied as standard without installation accessories. Common installation methods include:
- Screws through the end walls of the grille
- External flange mounting
- Internal flange mounting (the double model is supplied as two single grilles for on-site assembly)
