Engine Encapsulation

Engine encapsulations made of Trocellen PP foam are used as acoustic absorber in the engine compartment.


Properties

 
  • PP foam sheet vacuum formed into box shape
  • Sound absorption using the principle of a Helmholtz Resonator – high and low frequencies:
    • The sound stimulates the membrane of the box
    • The membrane oscillates like a spring on the air cushion
    • big boxes absorb deep frequencies
    • small boxes absorb high frequencies

Advantages

 
  • Media resistance against petrol, diesel, oil etc. even when surface is damaged (due to closed cell structure)
  • PP foam absorber made of one material layer
  • PP foam absorber and carrier made of same material
