Patent number: 5306121Abstract: A tiered mounting arrangement supports a compressor on a mounting plate which is in turn supported to the base pan of the system. Elastomeric isolators support the mounting plate above the base pan and similar elastomeric isolators support the compressor above the mounting plate. The isolator studs function to isolate compressor vibration from being transmitted to the mounting plate, and to isolate vibration in the mounting plate from being transmitted to the base pan. This arrangement achieves significant reduction in noise levels.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1993Date of Patent: April 26, 1994Assignee: Carrier CorporationInventors: Christopher Heflin, Ronald G. McFarland, Louis J. Sullivan
