Hand made: Noise isolation engine

During operation of the vehicle are formed noises isolation engine which are caused by operation of the individual nodes in the vehicle. In order to substantially reduce the sound noise isolation engine, perform noise isolation engine. Let us consider this process in more detail.

The principle of eliminating noise automobile engine

Car engine is not the only source of noise generation, it additionally creates the friction rubber tires on asphalt and wind streams simultaneously affecting the body and parts of the machine. Operating the engine is the main source of the noise effect that is fixed in the first place should be undertaken only insulation of the engine compartment of a vehicle or perform works only at a single site. Execution of works on the insulation of the motor is the most effective, the noise isolation engine level becomes within the optimum level. In this case, the main task of providing a sealed cover, namely the internal processing of all available surfaces of the engine compartment.

Subject to certain technology application of insulating materials such as grommet, as well as noise isolation engine. To start processing front bulkhead located between the engine compartment and the car interior and exterior automotive necessarily hood.

Recently gaining installation practice of modern insulating materials directly to the crankcase of the engine. Typically, may use different types manufactured at the factory and bought alone.

The choice of material for the creation of a car engine noise isolation engine with their hands

With proper choice of insulating material is almost completely reduced engine noise. Engine compartment has some more features (not excluded the possibility of getting to the surface of the motor diesel fuel, motor oil, antifreeze and special fluids brake). The basis of modern noise insulation materials include foam, which primarily suffers from falling fluids, resulting in disrepair.

For this reason, it is desirable to choose materials which are resistant to chemical attack. The most optimal and practical method of applying a special acoustic system or mastic coating.

Getting to perform work, be sure to remove the previously identified faults relating to work directly with the engine or other automotive equipment. After that, carefully inspect the engine compartment of a vehicle, in order to identify gaps and holes outsiders. Check availability of standard plugs, bonnet should not have backlash, which is a source of additional sound.

The sequence of works to reduce the noise of the diesel engine

Eliminate all faults can start making the most noise isolation engine. For added convenience, it is best to start with a simple item like a car hood. This is a simple operation for Mounting sheets of insulation from the inside of the hood, between the existing stiffeners.

Sometimes there are no ribs on the car hood, new soundproof sheets will not be a long time to hold onto a smooth surface. To the sheets have disappeared, it is desirable to apply a lightweight insulating materials that hold much longer. The same material covered existing partitions automotive engine compartment, and preferably the front wheel arch.

Performed all the maintenance work, the noise isolation engine from the working motor dropped significantly. It should be noted that the technical state of a passenger car in all cases, plays an important role.

These conditions require simple and reliable solutions and a brand Massey Ferguson has extensive experience in this area. During the prior tests in Iceland and France, we checked the work of the tractor in terms of the polar areas and extremely low temperatures.”

Installed on the tractor telematics system AgCommand TM will be around the clock to transmit data on the machine support team Beauvais. “Approaching a time when the project finally become a reality – said Olivier. – We look forward to a trip to assess the work of our tractors in the most difficult conditions of the polar landscapes and ensure smooth operation of equipment for the mission.”

Expedition «Antarctica2» organized to draw attention to the need for sustainable food security in the world by creating affordable technologies and innovative services that enable farmers to meet growing future demand for food.

Tractors and support team with Massey Ferguson will start from a base in East Antarctica Novo November 24 and plan to arrive at the South Pole approximately to 15 December. Follow the progress of the expedition will be on site mission.
