Abstract A series of noise measurements were performed on a diesel-powered heavy-duty refrigeration unit. Noise survey information collected included: polar plots of the 'A Weighted' noise levels of the unit under maximum and minimum load conditions; a linear and 'A' weighted acoustical time history of the refrigeration unit noise operating from start-up to load conditions representing both minimum (unloaded) and maximum (loaded) cooling capacity; the determination of the unmuffled refrigeration unit engine exhaust noise level under maximum and minimum load conditions; the determination of the noise contribution, under maximum load conditions, from the refrigeration unit engine exhaust and engine cooling system fan to the overall system noise.
