The invention provides a test
system of measuring engine air inlet
noise sound power and a method thereof. In the invention, assembling of an installation support and a
sound intensity probe is specially designed. The test
system is constructed, and a scientific
sound intensity and
sound power algorithm is used to process a test
signal. Through using a characteristic that a
sound intensity vector carries out integral along a closed curved surface, an engine air inlet
noise is completely isolated and extracted from an integral and complex
noise field of an engine mathematically so as to be served as a reliable basis of evaluating the engine air inlet noise. Compared to
sound power measurement by using an existing traditional
sound pressure method, by using the method in the invention, a test result is irrelevant with a
peripheral sound field, which means that there is no requirement to a
sound field test environment and the test does not need to be performed in a specific acoustic environment, such as an
anechoic chamber and a live room. Based on a mathematics principle, a characteristic of an air inlet noise source can be extracted from the complex engine
noise field. Tool equipment, such as a big barrier board, an air inlet extension tube and the like, does not need to be designed and made.
