Abstract
In this report, the results of diagnostic evaluations of the noise emissions of three quieted portable air compressors are presented. The report presents an assessment of the cost to manufacturers to quiet the compressors tested. This assessment incoporates the following: (1) Material and direct labor costs to manufacturers; (2) a noise source diagnosis and an operational performance diagnosis for each unit tested; (3) the estimated quieting costs for alternative designs; and (4) an assessment of the available foreign technology and associated costs to quiet portable air compressors.
