Vibration isolators for HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning)

Our Isotop® products for vibration isolation effectively reduce both structure-borne noise and secondary airborne noise. As elastic bearings inside machines and equipment, they isolate primary sound sources such as compressors or fans. This means that adjacent equipment components are not excited, and the equipment as a whole becomes noticeably quieter - an aspect that can already be considered when developing systems for building equipment.

On buildings with building service installations on the roof, the use of elastic bearings in combination with damping materials is recommended. The damping effect is particularly relevant in the event of strong gusts of wind, for example, to prevent unwanted excitation of the installed equipment. The additional stability also helps to prevent a build-up of vibrations in the machine. This must be taken into account in BSE planning. The Isotop® products also act as vibration dampers here and prevent vibrations from becoming problematic, such as in the case of noise and vibrating surfaces in adjacent residential or commercial spaces. This is an aspect that should be considered by professional planners for building services equipment, for example when designing air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Bearings in the Isotop® range are specially designed for use with HVAC applications in building services equipment. However, they are also used in machine engineering in general. The advantage of these lies in the fact that the elastic properties of the Isotop® bearings can be calculated precisely. This means that optimum vibration damping is determined for each individual application in building services equipment. They also boast a consistently 
reliable level of vibration isolation spanning decades. PU materials are free from softeners and exhibit no tendency towards temperature-related stiffening. 
Isotop® products replace conventional rubber pads and are also used as anti-vibration mounts if required.
