To avoid excessive stress on piping connection during chiller maintenance, restrained isolators should be selected. Factors such as exposure to a seismic/wind event, location in the building, the noise/vibration criteria, the rotating speed(s) of the equipment, quantity of mounting locations, attachment method, and weight distribution are also required to correctly select the appropriate mount.
Neo+ provide vibration isolation for vertical inline pumps (and other equipment). Available in softer and harder durometer versions, these isolators are most effective when used on stiff supporting structures with mid- to high-frequency vibration sources.
For critical applications, Free Spring Isolators or Seismic Free Spring Isolators are recommended.
Rubber-in-Shear mounts are recommended when installing reciprocating chillers on grade (Seismic Rubber-in-Shear mounts for seismic applications)
Vibro-Acoustics' flex connectors are applied to piping connections with vertical inline pumps to isolate the connecting piping and reduce structure-borne noise.

Vibro-Acoustics Seismic Restrained Spring (SCSR) series provide vibration isolation for mechanical systems and equipment. These welded housed isolators are designed to limit vertical and lateral movement of the top support plate caused by equipment operation or wind loading.
