Abstract
Vertical support and vibration isolation of a compressor casing is provided in single large vibration isolator. Additionally side torsion isolators are axially and radially spaced from the large vibration isolator and are circumferentially spaced from each other. The compressor may be located in a shell supporting the side vibration isolators.
Claims26
Means for mounting a compressor comprising:
- a vertically oriented compressor having an axis;
- means for supporting said compressor;
- means for providing vibration isolation located between said means for supporting said compressor and said compressor;
- means for securing and supporting said means for vibration isolation;
- means for providing torsion isolation including at least two torsion isolators;
- means for resisting torsional movement located radially outward of said compressor;
- said means for providing torsion isolation being located between, and coacting with, said compressor and said means for resisting torsional movement such that torsional movement of said compressor with respect to said means for resisting torsional movement is limited.
