Soundproof Enclosure for Heat Pump

Soundproofing for heat pumps as noise insulation for the outside

Our soundproof enclosures not only offer excellent noise reduction of 12 dB to 18 dB, but are also durable and easy to install. Thanks to their robust design, they ensure efficient air circulation and help extend the lifespan of your heat pump. Heat pumps can become louder in freezing temperatures because they have to work harder under these conditions to extract heat from the cold outside air. The noise level can increase by 2 to 6 dB (and in some cases significantly more), depending on the model and operating conditions.

Easy installation of the soundproof hood

With various sizes and color options, you can easily adapt the covers to the specific requirements of your systems. Custom-made soundproof covers are also available, for example, for industrial applications or specifically for a particular type of heat pump for OEM customers.

How loud are heat pumps?

Heat pumps produce a noise level between 30 and 60 decibels (dB) during operation. This is roughly equivalent to a whisper or a normal conversation. The actual noise level of a heat pump depends on several factors:

1. Heating power : Higher power appliances tend to produce more noise because they use larger or more powerful components.
2. Installation location : Good placement, sufficient distance (at least 3 to 5 m) and sound insulation can reduce noise pollution.
3. Device type and quality : Modern, high-quality heat pumps are generally quieter than older or cheaper models.

The Technical Guidelines for Noise Protection (TA Lärm) regulate the permissible noise levels for technical installations such as heat pumps. For example, the following limit values apply to purely residential areas:

• Daytime (6:00–22:00) : Maximum 50 decibels (dB)
• Nighttime (10 PM–6 AM) : Maximum 35 decibels (dB)

Soundproof enclosures for heat pumps – variants, sizes and colours in detail

The soundproof enclosures for heat pumps offer versatile customization options to meet both technical requirements and aesthetic demands. Here are the details on the available models, sizes, and colors:

Model variants of soundproof housings for heat pumps

1) Select the desired sound insulation level

The soundproof enclosures are offered in two sound insulation levels: 12 dB and 15 dB.

It is also possible to use the housings without sound insulation as visual protection.

(Upon request, we also offer a special version of the soundproof enclosure with 18 dB, however, only with a rear air intake. The external design differs.)

2) Air intake on the side or at the rear ?

1. With side air inlets (left and right) : These ensure optimal circulation of fresh air.

2. With rear air intake : This ensures the unimpeded supply of fresh air from the rear to the heat pump.

1. Size S
   • Housing dimensions: approx. 1008 x 1306 x 1006 mm
   • Max. installation dimensions: 808 x 1111 x 450 mm
2. Size M

4) Choose a color

The soundproof hoods are available in three popular standard colors:

• Deep black (RAL 9005) : For an elegant, timeless look.
• Light grey (RAL 7035) : Ideally suited to modern buildings.
• Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) : Harmonizes with natural and urban environments.

Special colors available upon request. Please specify the desired RAL color.

Whether for compliance with local regulations or to improve living comfort – soundproofing for heat pumps is a worthwhile long-term investment. Create a quiet and relaxing atmosphere without sacrificing the benefits of modern heating technology.
