5 Operation and service
5.1 Noise emission
Exposure to noise can harm the hearing system, impair health and the psy-
chological state and may lead to lack of attention and irritation.
When the engine is running, always wear ear protection.
Always wear ear protection if the sound pressure level exceeds 85 dB(A).
Wear ear protection.
The emission sound pressure level (A-weighted) is measured at a distance of 1 metre from
the low-pressure and high-pressure stage.
The highest value of the emission sound pressure level1) reaches a maximum of 105 dB(A)
near the compressor end (compressor casing, filter silencer, air suction branch).
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled with regard to the low-pressure and high-pressure
stage to observe this limit value:
Air inlet system and piping fitted
All standard, noise-reducing measures
2)
have been fitted
The enginebuilder is also responsible for insulating other components such as the charge
air/scavenging air lines and the cooler.
1) Directive 2006/42/EC, 1.7.4.2 / u / Paragraphs 5 + 7:
A-rated emission sound pressure level
2) The enginebuilder must provide acoustically equivalent measures in case of deviating insula-
tion versions
