한국소음진동공학회 2015추계학술대회논문집년 Study of Noise Pattern and Psycho-acoustics Characteristic of Household Refrigerator * * ** ** Kyung-Soo Kong, Dae-Sik Shin, Weui-Bong Jeong, Tae-Hoon Kim and Se-Jin Ahn Key Words : Refrigerator(), Cooling Cycle( ), Noise Quality( ), Compressor Noise( ), Fan Noise( ), Defrost Noise( ), Noise pattern( ) ABSTRACT Operating characteristics of refrigerator changes according to conditions and repeats with specific cycle. and radiated noise fluctuates with operating characteristics. In this study, Record 14 refrigerators considering housing environment and classify into 4 types based on components. and Analyze the changes of noise pattern and characteristic of sound quality index for each type. Finally, This study is expected to be used as a useful source in psycho-acoustics study of refrigerators noise. 1......,.,.,,,. Joo (1) 4~5 khz. Jung (2) BPF(Blade Passing Frequency). Choi (3).
