General Information
Chiller Isolation
To minimize sound and vibration
transmission through the building
structure and to assure proper
weight distribution over the
mounting surface, install isolation
pads or spring isolators under the
chiller feet.
Note: Isolation pads are provided
with each chiller unless spring
isolators are specified on the sales
order.
Specific isolator loading data is
provided in the unit submittal
package. Also refer to Table 6. If
necessary, contact your local Trane
sales office for further information.
Isolation Pads
When the unit is ready for final
placement, position isolation pads
end for end under the full length of
the chiller leg. The pads measure
6”×18” [152.4x457 mm] and on
some units there may be small gaps
between pads. Pads are provided to
cover entire foot. Place 6" sides end
to end under entire length of foot.
Remember that the chiller must be
level within 1/16” [1.6 mm] over its
length and width after it is lowered
onto the isolation pads. In addition,
all piping connected to the chiller
must be properly isolated and
supported so that it does not place
any stress on the unit.
Overhead lift is recommended, if not
possible, then use rectangular
jacking holes in legs. See figure 5.
