sound power testing with heatmap - Acentech

Acentech’s Sound Power Measurements service helps manufacturers, designers, and engineers evaluate and visualize the acoustic output of their products using precise, field-ready techniques.

Acentech’s proprietary robotic gantry system and ISO 9614-2 methods deliver precise sound power and intensity data without requiring a lab environment. Near-field acoustic holography translates measurements into intuitive heat maps, helping clients identify dominant noise sources, validate performance specifications, and improve product design. This service supports compliance reporting, sustainability goals, and innovative solutions for quieter, more efficient systems.

Automated Sound Intensity Measurement

Acentech’s proprietary robotic gantry system performs sound power and surface intensity measurements in accordance with ISO 9614-2. Combining motion control, machine vision, and probe tracking, our system captures high-resolution acoustic data in real-world settings—no lab required. The data supports regulatory reporting (e.g., AHRI 370) and advanced modeling for noise mitigation and product development.

The system has been designed to measure equipment like:

  • Chillers and heat pumps
  • Air handling systems
  • BESS and inverters
  • Fuel cells and electrical generators
  • Laboratory equipment
  • Server and rack equipment
  • Manufacturing equipment

Sound Intensity and Holographic Visualization

Using near-field acoustic holography, Acentech helps clients visualize sound emissions in the form of intuitive heat maps. This approach translates complex data into practical insights, helping engineers identify dominant noise sources and designers reduce environmental impact while improving user comfort.
