Sound power vs sound pressure in heat pump design
When you’re speaking with homeowners about heat pumps, noise is rarely a technical question for them; it’s a practical one. They may ask questions like “Will I hear it in the garden?” or “Will it bother the neighbours?”.
So, before you get into system sizing or efficiency, you often end up addressing noise concerns in simple terms. This is where having a good understanding of the differences between sound power and sound pressure makes your job easier, as you’ll be able to answer the homeowner’s questions clearly and design the heat pump system correctly.
By carrying out detailed assessments and being able to present the results to your customer, you can help address some of their concerns.
