Anti-vibration mountings
Bitzer recomended:
The compressor can be rigidly mounted, if no danger of breakage due to vibration exists in the associated pipeline system....
Otherwise the compressor must be fixed on anti-vibration mountings.
How do you calculate when anti-vibration mountings need?

Re: Anti-vibration mountings
if you turn up to a breakdown and find elbows fractured/twisted and leaking around compresser after the fact is usually a good indication of said problem.
can also be from too loose mounted compresser too from moving on startup like a scrol.
you can also feel the pipework to see if compresser vibration mountings are needed which i usually find on larger comercial compressers or combination of both this and vibration elimination pipe work."Old fridgies never die, they just run out of gas!"

Re: Anti-vibration mountings
Thanks a lot.
I'm interesting how do you know do you need anti-vibration mountings or not, when planing condencing unit or compressor's mains? Is it only practical experience or have a simple formula?In some places will have to think ...

Re: Anti-vibration mountings
Every manufacturer builds different condensing unit.
Some with Anti-vibration mountings and some without.
Big compressors vibrate less because of the weight.
A good quality flexible pipe connected in the right direction and place, can over come the mounting problem.
You have to check the cause of vibrations.
Some time they indicate a broken valve or piston rod.
