And several factors are recommended in order to reduce the refrigerant-induced noise of the air-conditioner.
The high temperature set point of air conditionings should be raised and the fan power should be reduced.
Grooved blade tips amplify the fan noise, so measures should be taken to control the noise.
The noise emission from the household refrigerator is also found to be lessened when the new fan units are installed.

Contrary to that the air conditioning system noise is of minor importance.
The data presented indicates that this turbulence is the dominant source of noise above 1.5 kHz for the fan tested.
In this paper, an improved algorithm for active control of fan noise is proposed.
Such correlations may contribute to redesign guidelines for simultaneous reduction of noise and improvement of efficiency at prescribed fan performance.
We demonstrate the important role of the area of the sound-absorbing liner between fan Rotor and Stator ensuring significant noise reduction.

This noise may have both tonal and random components and is strongly dependent on the way that the fan is placed in the unit and on how close its operation is to the design operating point.
