1. General information
Solflex produces SonaSafe acoustic housing for a wide range of Heat Pump, Air
Conditioning and Refrigeration systems.
This manual applies to the following series:
SonaSafe HC* Serie
2. Technical Data
Stable, acoustic enclosure with fully demountable structure. Housing constructed in
corrosion resistant Aluzinc steel plate, optional available in powder coated RAL colour.
Integrated special lamella packs on the rear for large-area and laminar air intake, as well
as on the front for air discharge with integrated sound insulation. Sound insulation made of
high-quality material combination for airborne sound absorption from non-combustible
pyramid insulation material with thickness 50 mm and special Rockwool insulation of the
acoustic grille 25 mm thick, density 110 kg / m³ with hygienic coating according VDI6022.
All screw connections with stainless M8 thread inserts. Feet construction vibration-
decoupled by means of 4 rubber dampers Silentblock Ø30 H20. Functional and yet design-
oriented design with deflection of the air stream downwards with very low pressure loss
and two acoustic weather protection grilles, easy to remove by one person, on the suction
and discharge sides. Roof with inclination to the sides to keep the outdoor unit harmless
from water and snow and protect against mechanical damage. An integrated thermal is
provided for the exact separation of the suction and the discharge air. The complete
construction is completely weatherproof and optimized for the operation of heat pumps by
the optional installation of a drain pan, integrable in the feet construction, which can also
be optionally made with an electrical heater to prevent the freezing of condensing water.
Nominal pressure loss lower as 15 Pa(1). Nominal sound level reduction: up to -10
dB(A), depending on outdoor unit type.

3. Performance sound insulation
The sound insulation performance of our sound protection enclosure was
measured by an independent laboratory according to DIN en ISO 3744 .
Measurement method
•Measurement of sound power of the calibrated (MP1)
•Reference source via a ball surface with 12 microphones. Acoustic
data: Class 2 According to DIN en ISO 3744, as third spectrum and
octave spectrum.
•Measurement of Sound Power (MP2) of the Solflex Sonasafe Sound
Insulation Housing Reference source in the housing via a ball surface
with 12 microphones.
•Acoustic Data Class 2 according to DIN en ISO 3744, as a third
spectrum and octave spectrum.
•The difference between the two measurements is the sound insulation
power of the noise-isolating housing.
MP1-MP2= Sound insulation performance Sound Insulation Housing *
* The measurement tolerance of +/-1.5 db (a) or tolerance width of 3 db (a)
according to DIN EN ISO 3744 would finalised not be used and we publish
excluding the minimum sound insulation performance data.
Measurement results
Both the HC sound insulating housing with air intake rear and with air intake
side have a sound absorbing power of 10 db (a).

Directional factors
Due to the construction of the sound insulation of the HC100NP
sound insulation housing:
•Additionally 7 db(a) insulation upwards, so a total of 17db(a)
sound insulation in this direction, measured at 1m distance.
•Additionally 4 db(a) insulation on theside, so a totalof 14 db(a)
sound insulation in this direction, measured at 1m distance.
Due to the construction of the sound insulation of the HC100NP
sound insulation housing:
•Additionally 7 db(a) insulation upwards, so a total of 17db(a)
sound insulation in this direction, measured at 1mdistance.
•Additionally 8 db(a) insulation to the rear, so a total of 18db(a)
sound insulation in this direction, measured at 1m distance.

manufacturer must be respected.
The acousticlouvre,onthe suction andexhaust sides has a depth of200mm
and thesite must enable this to remove to have access to the built-inair
conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump equipment.
Aluzinc®
“The warranty applies to all buildings exposed to normal atmospheric
corrosion factors, in other words excluding those subject to permanent
spraying with fresh water or salt water; in the case of buildings situated in
coastal areas, excluding those exposed to sea spray.”

7.7 Foundation / Wall
The foundation must meet the relevant
static and sound propagation requirements
and must feature a proper drain for water. It
must be level and smooth. The resonance
frequency of the support structure must be
distinctly different from the excitation
frequency of the rotating machine
components (Heat Pump, Air Conditioning
and Refrigeration system).
An uneven foundation mi
ght cause malfunction or jammed
panels.Liability is excluded for damage
caused by installation on an uneven
surface.
7.8 Installation of Heat Pump,
Air Conditioning and
Refrigeration outdoor unit
The correct installation position of the air
conditioning, refrigeration or heat pump
unit is decisive for the fit and function of
the acoustic housing.
8Maintenance and Service
8.1 General
For maintenance and service work on the
refrigeration, air-conditioning or heat
pump unit, the necessary panels can be
easily removed from the acoustic
housing.
Cleaning and maintenance of the
acoustic housing
•Remove other dirt with a damp
cloth; if necessary, use grease-
or oil-dissolving detergents
(concentrated neutral detergent
with pH between 8 and 9).
•Treat galvanized parts with
preservation spray.
•Regularly lubricate moving parts
such as panel locks with a
lubrication spray.
•Regularly treat seals.
•Repair any damage to the
coating, including areas that
show signs of corrosion, with
repair paint.
•Clean the unit thoroughly to
remove all construction dust and
other dirt.
•Prior to shipping, each unit is
carefully inspected at our
factory.
8.2 Silencers
The sound insulation material of the
silencers should be checked for dust
during major maintenance work and, if
necessary, cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner.
If necessary, the silencers must be
checked for free passage, as this is
necessary for perfect air circulation and
the function of the installed refrigeration,
air conditioning or heat pump unit.
