Reducing underwater radiated noise from a ship is a critical issue for ensuring the survivability of the vessel. As high-speed signal processing and interlocking algorithms become more sophisticated, the heat intensity of shipboard equipment is increasing per unit volume. When designing shipboard equipment, it is necessary to consider the trade-off between heat dissipation and noise reduction. Following an analysis of the trade-offs, it was determined that the arrangement of Fan Ass'y A and B exhibited excellent noise and heat dissipation characteristics. Based on this, PWM control operating zones were derived. It was determined that the placement of Fan Ass'y A and B in the operating zone would increase the PWM duty cycle from 33% to 58% using a signal frequency of 25kHz band with guaranteed reliability. This would increase the noise by approximately 9dB(A) but reduce the internal board reference temperature by up to 15℃.

선박의 거주구는 엔진 등 동력원과 거주구 주변의 각종 팬 & 모터에서 발생하는 소음 및 진동이 직접적으로 영향을 미치게 된다. 최근 선원의 근무구조 개선을 위해 국제해사기구에서 2014년 7월 이후 계약된 선박부터 소음규정을 강화하여 강제적용 하도록 하였다. 이 연구에서는 강화된 소음 규정을 만족 할 수 있도록 흡음재 설치에 따른 소음저감 효과에 대해 고찰하였다.
