HVAC acoustic hoods Design from concept to recycling

Our acoustic enclosures for heat pumps, air conditioning and refrigeration systems are made entirely of aluminum, with a base frame made of an aluminum plug-in frame with a bolted connection. Individual modules can be combined to be able to enclose larger systems without the installation on the construction site becoming a problem.

In the case of rental systems, there is also the advantage that after the rental period, the sound hoods can be dismantled without much effort to reuse them in other projects and systems.

In addition, our sound hoods and sound barriers, like all products, are subject to a life cycle, which is why we take into account the factor of dismantling and recycling as early as the design stage. Our design principles, which facilitate subsequent disassembly, include, above all:

Using detachable or reversible joining techniques such as screws, rivets, clips instead of adhesives or welding, so that components can be easily separated. In this way, we prevent permanent connections and connections that are difficult to dissolve mechanically or thermally.

Even the internal insulation is not glued but mechanically secured, so that it can be removed at any time with a flick of the wrist.

In addition, we reduce the variety of materials to a few single-type materials or mono-materials to enable single-type recycling and facilitate separation. In the production of aluminum panels, the offcuts are consistently used to produce other parts such as mechanical, static fuses and covers. In this way, we prevent the mixing of different alloys, which leads to a downsizing of the material quality during aluminum recycling.
 
The design also considers the easy accessibility of all connections and components, e.g. through standardized screws and accesses and corresponding clearances.

Use of environmentally friendly, recyclable materials and coatings that do not hinder recycling.
