Abstract
A horizontally mounted compressor is supported from below by a vibration isolator located as close as practical to the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the compressor and this isolator supports most, if not all, of the weight of the compressor. The ends of the compressor are supported by isolators located as close as practical to the axis of the compressor.
Claims9
Apparatus for mounting a compressor comprising:
- a horizontally oriented compressor having a first and second end and an axis;
- an axially extending pin located at each end of said compressor with said axially extending pin being parallel with said axis;
- a radially extending pin extending downward from said compressor;
- first means for providing vibration isolation receiving said radially extending pin and having a greater stiffness in a vertical direction than a transverse direction and supporting most of the weight of said compressor;
- second means for providing vibration isolation receiving each of said axially extending pins;
- and
- means for supporting each of said means for providing vibration isolation.
