The sound immission have to be determined 0.5 m
in the middle in front of the open window (outside the
building) of the most affected rooms, which need par-
ticular protection. According DIN 4109:1989 rooms
needing particular protection are:
- Living- and bed rooms
- Children rooms
- Work spaces / offi ces
- Classrooms / seminar rooms

The rating level corresponds to an equivalent conti-
nuous sound pressure level associated with a specifi c
period. The rating level is determined for both rating
periods „day" (6 am-10 pm) and „night" (10 pm-6 am)
separately. The operation time of the heat pump has
particular impact on the resulting equivalent conti-
nuous sound pressure level. Reducing the operation
time from 16 h per day to 4 h per day the rating level
is reduced by 6 dB(A).
But the equivalent continuous sound pressure level
alone is not suffi cient in order to determine the distur-
bing effect of noise. In general noise is perceived very
disruptive, if individual tones are clearly discernable
or the noise is irregular (impulsiveness). These noise
characteristics will be taken into account by applying
a surcharge. Additionally, daytimes with increased
sensitivity are taken into consideration. According the
„TA Lärm" the following corrections are applied:
Information incorporation
Impulsiveness
Daytimes with increased
sensitivity
The rating level L shall be obtained by summing the
r
calculated immission level and the applied correc-
tions of the specifi c periods.
Finally, the determined rating level can be compared
with legal limit values (e.g. „TA Lärm").

In case of sound propagation inside buildings or
structure-borne sound transmission the Standard
Immission Values for the rating level of rooms nee-
ding particular protection are as following:

• Sound refl ections areas should be kept as low as
possible
• The installation on acoustically hard ground and
areas with depression in the terrain should be
avoided
• The distance from the heat pump and the relevant
place of immission should be as big as possible
• In case of outdoor installation the blow out of air
3 or 6 dB(A)
in direction to the neighbour or relevant receiver
0,3 or 6 dB(A)
location should be avoided
6 dB(A)
• The airfl ow should not be blown directly against
walls as sound refl ections lead to increased sound
pressure levels accordingly
