Abstract
A vibration stabilizer assembly for a compressor in a transport refrigeration unit (TRU) is disclosed. The assembly comprises a plurality of first buffers configured between a bottom plate associated with the compressor and a frame of the TRU, where each of the first buffers has a radial stiffness of less than 1000 pounds per inch.
Claims19
A vibration stabilizer assembly for a compressor in a transport refrigeration unit (TRU), the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of first buffers configured between a bottom plate associated with the compressor and a frame of the transport refrigeration unit,
- wherein each of the first buffers has a radial stiffness of less than 1000 pounds per inch, Wherein
- each of the first buffers comprise a rigid sleeve configured coaxially and extending longitudinally through a first annular section and a second annular section of the corresponding first buffer.
A vibration stabilizer assembly for a compressor in a transport refrigeration unit (TRU), the assembly comprising:
- one or more clamping rings extending around a top end of the compressor and connected to each other;
- and
- a mounting plate coupled to at least one of the clamping rings and a frame of the transport refrigeration unit, wherein the mounting plate is coupled to the corresponding clamping ring using at least one second buffer,
- wherein the at least one second buffer has a radial stiffness of less than 1000 pounds per inch,
- wherein each of the first buffers comprises a rigid sleeve configured coaxially and extending longitudinally through a first annular section and a second annular section of the corresponding first buffer.
