Contaminación acústica por grupos electrógenos // Acoustic contamination by diesel driven electric plant.
Abstract
El trabajo tiene como tema el impacto ambiental por ruido de grupos electrógenos (GE). Se
muestran diferentes definiciones y conceptos referidos a la explotación de los GE y las
consecuencias que puede provocar a las personas que permanezcan cerca de ellos durante su
funcionamiento. Los grupos electrógenos son además de generadores de energía, generadores de
ruido y por tanto contribuyen a la contaminación acústica del lugar donde estén situados. En el
documento se aborda la importancia del correcto uso y selección de los protectores auditivos para
aquellas personas que trabajen directamente en las baterías de grupos electrógenos, así como
algunas formas de atenuar el ruido. También se caracteriza la emisión sonora de estos a partir de
estudios realizados.
Palabras claves: ruido, nivel sonoro, sonido.

Abstract
This paper concerns with the environmental damage due to noise emission introduced by Engine
Generator Sets. Definitions and concepts about Engine Generator operation are shown as well as
the consequences over the personnel who stand near the Engine Generators during their
operation. Obviously, such kind of machines generates energy but they also generate noise which
contaminates the environment around them. The paper states how important are the right
selection and use of noise protection devices for those whose main job is to operate engine
generator sets. Some methods for noise damping are also shown. Finally, some case studies are
presented in order to describe the noise emission registered in the real world.
Key words: noise, sound level, sound.
