Air and Noise Protection Laboratory
Purpose of the laboratory
The Air and Noise Protection Laboratory provides the practical background for different courses such as Noise and Vibration Protection, Air Quality Protection and Unit Operations. Numerous different pieces of specific software are introduced to students in the lab, which is also the place for result processing of field measurements.
Competence of the laboratory
The laboratory is suitable for carrying out and post-processing acoustic and vibration diagnostic tests. In addition, modelling noise and air pollution propagation and noise mapping are also important tasks of the lab, just like mathematical modelling of dynamical systems in the field of chemical and environmental methods. Many pieces of software are used for the determination of optimal operation of chemical and environmental systems.
