3.4.3 Installation of spring isolation system
Spring isolation may be purchased as an accessory from Carrier for field installation. It may also be field supplied
and installed. Spring isolators may be placed directly under machine support plates or located under machine
soleplates. See Fig. 21. Low profile spring isolation assemblies can be field supplied to keep the machine at a
convenient working height.
Obtain specific details on spring mounting and machine weight distribution from job data. Also, check job data for
methods to support and isolate pipes that are attached to spring isolated machines.
NOTE: The springs are designed to support the weight of the chiller only. Connected piping must be supported
independently of the chiller.
NOTE: It is recommended that any installation other than the ground floor should have spring isolation for the
chiller and piping.
NOTE: These isolators are not intended for seismic duty, but are intended to reduce the vibration and noise levels
transmitted from the chiller to the surrounding environment. For installations adjacent to areas that are sensitive to
noise and/or vibration, use the services of a qualified consulting engineer or acoustics expert to determine whether
these springs will provide adequate noise/vibration suppression.
