A Vibration Signal-Based Active Noise Control Method for Liquid-Filled Pipelines.

Pulsation noise in the piping system generated by the excitation of the pump source seriously affects the reliability of the pipeline system and mechanical equipment. The active noise control can effectively suppress the low-frequency noise in the liquid-filled pipeline. Active control methods with intrusive secondary sources generally use dynamic pressure sensors or hydrophones to collect signals, which destroy the structure of the pipe. In this paper, we propose an active noise control method utilizing signals acquired by accelerometers, which adopts offline modeling of the secondary path and the notch narrowband FxLMS algorithm for controlling the secondary source actuation. The feasibility of this method is verified by LabVIEW simulation and active noise control test of the liquid-filled pipeline. The test results show that this method can achieve more than 4 dB reduction for low-frequency (10~200 Hz) line spectrum noise under most operating conditions.
