Such brackets must have sufficient strength to carry the weight of the chiller unit. It is
recommended that angle bars (e.g. 38mm*38mm*3mm
t
) or hollow section bars (e.g. 25mm*
50m*2mm
t
) to be used for fabricating these brackets.
These brackets must also allow clearance for removal of service panels for maintenance
purposes.
In any case, it is vital that the chiller unit is secured firmly onto the concrete floor/slab or steel
bracket by using studs, wall plugs or bolts/nuts at the four (4) mounting holes located at the base
plate of the chiller. The weight of the chiller unit and the water pipe connections are not sufficient
to prevent unit movement should any sudden impact or strong vibrations occur in the unit. Failure
to do so may cause the water pipes to deform and break.
It is further recommended that rubber isolation pads (1/2" thick) to be placed beneath each
mounting hole to prevent excessive vibration and noise. If necessary, isolating springs can
also be mounted.
The following pages are examples of these isolation pads and springs.
