Understanding human responses to air source heat pump noise: examining tonal changes and operating cycles (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Air Source Heat Pumps are pivotal in the Government of the United Kingdom's target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges, with noise being among the main barriers to entry and a restrictin...

Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The need to shift to reduce carbon emissions to hit Net Zero is currently driving plans for large scale rollouts of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), due to their increased thermal efficiency and lack of direct carbon emissions. Concern exists, however,... Read More about Higher-fidelity analysis of air source heat pump noise via scanning intensity measurement.

Prediction of Radiated Structural Noise Using Decomposed Vibro-Acoustic Frequency Response Functions (2024)

The manner in which a system radiates noise is dependent upon the resonant behaviour and the forced vibration of the structure. It has been shown previously that the modes of such a system can be identified by performing a singular value decompositio...
