Abstract: The invention relates to a sound-absorbing construction component, which is suitable inter alia for use outdoors. The construction element comprises a sound-absorbing absorber layer having a sound entry surface and a plurality of extinguishing profiles fully enclosed in the absorber layer and arranged at a distance from one another. The extinguishing profile consists of a sound-reflecting material and has a profile inner space, which has one open side facing away from the sound entry surface. The extinguishing profile preferably comprises at least one inlet surface having numerous sound inlet openings and at least one closed reflection surface connecting to the inlet surface, wherein the reflection surface and the open side of the extinguishing profile are at a greater distance from the sound entry surface than the inlet surface. The profile inner space is hollow or completely or partially filled with the material of the absorber layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sound absorber arrangement comprising multiple sound absorber elements that are arranged in a room having walls and a ceiling that closes off the room at the top. Multiple adjacently situated sound absorber elements form one or more absorber strips that extend(s), at least in sections, along an upper abutting edge extending between the wall and ceiling of the room. The sound absorber elements have a width of 200-400 mm and a thickness of 40-65 mm. The sound absorber elements have a length-specific flow resistance in the range of 5-20 kPa*s/m4. The invention further relates to a sound-insulated room having such a sound absorber arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sound-absorbing roof construction of a hall (01) with walls (02), several roof trusses (03) resting at least at their ends on the walls (02) and with a sound-reflecting roof cladding (06) carried by the roof trusses (03). On the side faces of several of the roof trusses (03) there are absorber strips (04) which are composed of sound absorber elements. A sound-reflecting section of the roof cladding (06) extends between adjacent roof trusses (03) with the absorber strips (04) with a width that is at least twice the average height of the roof trusses (03). The invention also relates to a sound absorber arrangement with sound absorber elements which are arranged in a hall (01) with walls (02) and a roof structure which closes the hall upwards, the roof structure comprising a plurality of roof trusses (03) and a roof cladding (06) carried by them.

Abstract: A multifunctional ceiling structure, in particular for living spaces and workspaces, and includes multiple heat-conducting profiles that are directly or indirectly fastened to a building ceiling, and a downwardly directed mounting surface, with a line receiving region formed in the mounting surface. Furthermore, a heating medium line is provided that runs in the line receiving region of the heat-conducting profiles and conducts a heat-transporting medium. A ceiling panel is fastened to the mounting surface of the heat-conducting profiles and is in heat-conducting contact with the heating medium line. An absorber strip made up of sound absorber elements extends along an upper abutting edge that runs between a building wall and the plane of the ceiling panel. The sound absorber elements have a width of 200-400 mm, a thickness of 25-65 mm, and a length-specific flow resistance in the range of 8-10 kPa*s/m4.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing expanded glass granules. To this end, starting materials are provided, comprising 80% to 95% glass and 5% to 20% sodium silicate hydrate having a water of crystallization content between 1 and 2 wt %, in relation to the solids content. After the glass is ground, the starting materials are mixed, the ground starting materials are granulated into raw granules, and the raw granules are mixed with a release agent, the mixture comprising the raw granules and the release agent is heated to a processing temperature. In a first partial step, the pores on the surfaces of the particles of the raw granules are closed, and in a second partial step, the water of crystallization is dissolved from the sodium silicate hydrate and caused to thermally expand, whereby the particles of the raw granules expand and form the expanded glass granules.
