vibration
isolation equipment
.1
The Contractor shall however be responsible for and ensure that all
penetration in walls, floors and ceilings provided for pipes, ducts,
conduits, etc. are isolated and sealed around the penetrations.
.2
In all cases, masonry and other structure surrounding the plant shall not
be in direct contact with equipment.

Equipment
The following summarizes the type and nature of the noise and vibration
control techniques and equipment to be used in the isolation of
mechanical and electrical equipment as describe in this specification.
.2
.3
.4
All spring shall be mounted with adequate clearance from brackets and
shall be clearly in view for critical inspection.
.5
.6
.7
Limit stops shall be out of contact during normal operations. Mounts used
outdoors shall be hot dipped galvanized.
.8
All steel springs shall be installed in series with two layers of neoprene
ribbed or waffle pattern pads (min. 8mm thickness) as described below.
.9
2.4
.10
The springs shall be selected to support the calculated loads with the
minimum spring deflections specified without being compressed solid,
bridge out, or exceeding the Manufacturers maximum rated loads under
any operating condition.
.11
In the selection of the springs, the Contractor shall also take into account
the weight distribution of the equipment under normal operating
conditions, weight of unsupported pipes / ducts, and any large dynamic
forces due to fluid movement, torque reaction and starting / stopping.
.12
The Contractor shall provide details of the make and model number of the
isolators selected and their individual calculated loads.
.2
.3
In general, the length and width of the inertia block should be greater than
the length and width of the supported equipment.
.4
.5
The base shall consist of a concrete slab cast into a welded steel base
frame assembly.
.6
.7
Anchor bolts shall be fixed into position, and housed in steel bolt sleeves
to allow minor bolt location adjustments or alternatively, pockets shall be
cast into inertia block to permit the later insertion of anchor bolts.
.8
.9
2.5
2.6
2.7
.10
There shall be adequate clearance (minimum 20mm) all round the spring
to assure that there is no contact between any spring and any part of the
mounted assembly for any possible alignment or position of the installed
inertia block. The clearance between inertia block and floor/plinth shall be
at least 75mm (3).
.11
Ribbed or waffle patter pads shall be 8mm (5/16) - 9.5mm (3/8) thick 40
durometer as normally supplied by the manufacturers.
.2
.3
Where two or more layers of neoprene pads are used, individual layers
shall be separated by 1mm (20 G) thick steel shims.

PUMPS
.1
All pumps shall be selected for the highest efficiently consistent with the
specified duty and no more than 0.9 times the maximum pump impeller
diameter capability of the pump housing to reduce the possibility of tonal
effects.
.2
.3
.4
.5
All air handling units and primary air units shall be mounted or hung on
steel spring isolators in series with neoprene pads.
.2
All fans and rotating assemblies of air handling units, primary air units,
shall have complete assemblies including drive components statically and
dynamically balanced to ISO 1940 Balance Quality Grade 6.3 or lower.
.3
All rotating assemblies and fans, except for single plane disk elements or
propeller fans, shall be dynamically balanced on minimum two planes.
.4
The Contractor shall not select nor use air handling units that operate in
excess of 1500 rpm.
.5
.6
The Contractor shall at the Contractors own cost ensure that such
vibration levels are complied with.
.7
In-factory testing of all Air Handling Units, fans and all rotating assemblies
for compliance to manufacturers quality control vibration levels are
required. All Air Handling Units shall have such manufacturers test
validation data of measured vibration levels, and supplied with the Air
Handling Units during delivery.
.7
The minimum total static deflection of vibration isolators for all fans and
AHUs shall be as follows :Operating Speeds
25mm
38mm
50mm
100mm

.9
.10
As part of this Contract, the Contractor shall supply Sound Power Levels
(re 10 - 12 watts) of all fans and AHUs offered.
.11
Noise data must be Sound Power Levels, and not Sound Pressure Level.
Sound Power Levels must be specified in octave bands center
frequencies for 63 Hz minimum to 40000 Hz.
.12
AHUs/fans shall be selected such that the Sound Power Levels of the
AHUs/fans shall result in noise levels at occupied or public spaces to be
in compliance with the noise rating required of the space as stipulated in
the Design Objectives.
.13
.14
Ventilation fans and air handling units where fitted with sound attenuators
(on both upstream and downstream sides of the units with respect to
occupied areas) shall have performance values (dynamic insertion losses,
air quantities, frictional losses) governed by fan selections, duct layouts
and acoustic design criteria for the space.
.15
The Contractor shall submit all details and selection of sound attenuators.
.16
Where sound attenuators are not used, all ducts upstream and
downstream of AHUs and fans shall be internally lined with fibreglass or
rockwool for sound attenuation as required.
2.10
2.11
All fan coil units over 1.5 Hp motor size shall be vibration isolated with
double deflection neoprene in shear isolators, or steel spring vibration
isolator, hangers/supports of minimum 10mm total static deflection.
.2
All fan coil units under 1.5 Hp motor size shall be isolated with two layers
of 8mm thick 40mm durometer neoprene or rubber pads in between
mounting or suspension brackets.
.3
All piping serving fan coil units shall be isolated by rubber sleeves where
suspended or attached to any building structure or fixtures.
.4
There shall be no solid connection between fan coil units and the
structure. Discharge ducts shall be fitted with flexible connections.
PIPING
.1
.2
All other supports / hangers beyond 100 diameter of pipe length shall
incorporate an isolation medium of 8mm thickness such as waffle pattern
neoprene, felt or high density fibreglass between pipe and hanger /
support or between hanger/support and wall. This applies to all piping
installed whether in horizontal runs or vertical pipe risers.
All pipe penetrations through wall, floors and ceiling shall be isolated from
direct contact with the structure, with a fibreglass isolated sleeve caulked
with a non-setting resilient compound on both sides of the penetration.

EXECUTION
3.1
GENERAL

3.2
.3
Piping and ductwork to be isolated must pass freely through walls and
floors without rigid connections. Maintain 20mm to 32mm clearance
around outside surfaces of piping or ductwork at penetration points. Pack
this clearance space tightly with firestopping material, after installation of
piping or ductwork.

.6
Prior to installation, bring to notice any conflict with other Divisions of this
specification which will result in unavoidable rigid contact with equipment
or piping as described herein, due to inadequate space or other
unforeseen conditions.

.3
.4
.5
.6
Install the isolators without raising the machine and frame assembly.
.7
Adjust the isolator after the entire installation is complete and under full
operational load so that the load is transferred from the blocks to the
isolator. When all isolators are properly adjusted, the blocks or shims will
be barely free and shall be removed.
3.3

.8
Verify that all insulated isolator and mounting systems permit equipment
motion in all directional. Adjust or provide additional resilient restraints to
flexible limit equipment start-up lateral motion to 15mm.
.9
Prior to start-up, clean out all foreign matter between bases and
equipment. Verify that there are no isolations short circuits in the base or
isolators.
PIPING ISOLATORS

Install isolators with isolator hanger box attached to, or hung as close as
possible to, the structure.
