Acoustic Louvers

Kinetics Fixed Blade Acoustic Louvers are an economical, effective, and architecturally attractive solution for maximum sound reduction where space is limited. Used as part of intake and exhaust air systems for buildings, structures, and equipment — louvers reduce noise from mechanical systems while maintaining required airflow rates.

Where They’re Used

• Building ventilation intake & exhaust
• Generator room vents
• Data center air systems
• Air-cooled chiller enclosures
• Pump room ventilation
• Acoustic barrier wall openings
• Equipment enclosure ventilation

Louvers are available in galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel (304 & 316), with a wide range of powder coat and architectural finishes.

Available Louver Types

Models vary in depth, open area, and blade configuration to match pressure loss and noise reduction requirements.

KCDC — Data Center

Up to 51% open area · 12″ thick · Chevron blade · No sight line · Ideal for data center applications

KCAC — Maximum Attenuation

30–40% open area · 12″–24″ thick · No sight line · Highest noise reduction for security & performance

KCPL — Low Frequency

30–40% open area · 6″–12″ thick · Small vane spacing · Optimized for low-frequency noise control

KCAL — Low Pressure Drop

40–50% open area · 6″–12″ thick · Lightweight & lowest cost · Ideal for budget-sensitive projects

KCFL — Airfoil Blade

33–38% open area · 6″–12″ thick · Airfoil blade reduces pressure loss · Architectural aesthetics

Industrial Silencers

Kinetics Industrial Silencers control airborne noise in ducts, openings, and building systems. Our silencers are engineered to ensure personnel comfort, health, and safety while helping facilities comply with environmental regulations and community noise standards.

Applications

• Fan inlet and discharge silencing
• Cooling tower noise control
• Stack, blow-off, and vent silencers
• Safety and relief valve silencers
• Equipment & process enclosure ventilation
• Turbine enclosure ventilation
• Radiator noise reduction

Silencer Types

• Elbow & Straight Dissipative (absorptive)
• Reactive (no media) — Elbow and Straight
• Cross-Talk, Axial Cone, Transitional
• Custom designs as required

Complete System Solutions

Kinetics can provide a complete noise control ventilation system — including fans, dampers, actuators, louvers, filters, mounting supports, and silencers — pre-assembled at the factory to reduce field installation time and costs.

• Galvanized, carbon, or stainless steel casing
• All-welded construction available
• Weather hoods, birdscreens, access doors
• Painted exteriors and custom support systems

NOISEBLOCK™ Enclosures & Barrier Walls

NOISEBLOCK is Kinetics’ modular, double-walled acoustic panel system — quickly and easily assembled into barrier walls, equipment enclosures, pressurized plenums, and more. Engineered for rooftop mechanical equipment, electrical substations, oil and gas facilities, railways, airports, and community noise compliance.

Sound Absorbers, Barriers & Curtains

From flexible noise control curtains to rigid mass-loaded barriers, Kinetics offers a full range of absorptive and barrier products for industrial environments requiring targeted acoustic treatment.

Industrial Noise Control Products

• Sound Absorbers — Panel systems that reduce reverberation and reflected noise in industrial spaces
• Absorber/Barrier Composites — Combined absorption and mass barrier for maximum noise reduction
• Noise Control Curtains — Flexible, modular curtain systems for enclosures, partitions, and equipment wrap
• Mass-Loaded Barriers (KNM) — Plenum-rated MLV barriers for return air plenums and ceiling cavities
• Pipe & Duct Lagging — Wrap systems for noise-radiating pipes, ducts, and mechanical equipment

These products can be used standalone or integrated into NOISEBLOCK enclosure systems for comprehensive noise control across industrial and commercial facilities.
