Title: Growing Need for Better Silencers and Sound Enclosures for Stationary Reciprocating Engines

We have entered the age of distributed power. Gas engines providing electricity heat and light are now used for base load, standby, or emergency power for hospitals, data centers and many locations in close proximity to residences and areas with high population density. Engines are inherently noisy.  The exhaust is only one of six noise sources. McIlvaine is now providing a continuous analysis of sound attenuation options.  This includes a recent interview with Dennis Aaberg. Dennis has recently retired from Cummins Power Generation after a thirty-seven-year career in noise and vibration control.  He is a recognized expert on the subject and the author of articles appearing in Gas Turbine, Reciprocating Engine Decision Guide.  During his career, which began with Onan Corporation before it was purchased by Cummins, Inc. and became Cummins Power Generation, he worked within the Applied Technology Group to reduce product noise levels and improve sound quality on small gas and diesel engines, generator sets, garden tractors, welders and a variety of other engine-driven applications.  Dennis has also worked integrally with customers to solve community noise issues and application noise issues.
