The ESSR incorporates all the features of our ESR vibration isolation curb with our aerodynamic acoustical silencers; return air plenums and NOISELOK STL panels. This gives you a noise control system that addresses all the noise and vibration concerns of your packaged rooftop equipment: vibration from the rotating equipment and casing radiation, ductborne noise from supply and return fans, and breakout noise from the fans and compressors into the space below. Vibration from fans and compressors (source ) and vibration from casing radiated noise caused by duct turbulence and the airborne noise of the fans and compressors (source 2) are controlled with high deflection, laterally stable coil spring isolators and high frequency neoprene noise pads. Ductborne noise from the supply and return air fans (source ) are controlled using an aerodynamic acoustical silencer on the supply fan and an acoustical plenum on the return air side both with minimal pressure drop. reakout noise through the bottom of the rooftop unit (source ) is controlled by the NOISELOK STL acoustical panel located in the floor of the ESSR. 8

Riser Supports, nchors, and Guides KINETIS TM riser supports, anchors, and guides isolate the pipe from the structure to minimize noise and vibration transmission, while also allowing the pipe to expand and contract with minimal change in the support forces.

Isolation Notes for Specific Equipment* Kinetics Noise ontrol strongly recommends 5 SHRE Handbook, hapter 8 Noise and Vibration ontrol as a companion to this product selection guide. Refrigeration Machines Large centrifugal, screw, and reciprocating refrigeration machines may generate very high noise levels; special attention is required when such equipment is installed in upperstory locations or near noisesensitive areas. If equipment is located near extremely noisesensitive areas, follow the recommendations of an acoustical consultant. ompressors The two basic reciprocating compressors are duct structures. () single and doublecylinder vertical, horizontal or Lhead, which are usually air compressors; and (2) Y, W, and multihead or multicylinder air and refrigeration compressors. Single and doublecylinder compressors generate high vibratory forces requiring large inertia bases (type ) and are generally not suitable for upperstory locations. If this equipment must be installed in an upperstory location or atgrade location near noisesensitive areas, the expected maximum unbalanced force data must be obtained from the equipment manufacturer and a vibration specialist consulted for design of the isolation system. When using Y, W, and multihead and multicylinder compressors, obtain the magnitude of unbalanced forces from the equipment manufacturer so the need for an inertia base can be evaluated. mounted compressors through 5 hp and horizontal tanktype air compressors through hp can be installed directly on spring isolators (type ) with structural bases (type ) if required, and compressors 5 to 0 hp on spring isolators (type ) with inertia bases (type ) with a mass I to 2 times the compressor mass. Pumps oncrete inertia bases (type ) are preferred for all fl exiblecoupled pumps and are desirable for most closecoupled pumps, although steel bases (type ) can be used. losecoupled pumps should not be installed directly on individual isolators (type ) because the impeller usually overhangs the motor support base, causing the rear mounting to be in tension. The primary requirements for type bases are strength and shape to accommodate base elbow supports. Mass is not usually a factor, except for pumps over 75 hp, where extra mass helps limit excess movement due to starting torque and forces. oncrete bases (type ) should be designed for a thickness of onetenth the longest dimension with minimum thickness as follows: () for up to 0 hp, 6 in; (2) for to 75 hp, 8 in; and () for 0 hp and up, 2 in. Pumps over 75 hp and multistage pumps may exhibit excessive motion at startup ( heaving ); supplemental restraining devices can be installed if necessary. Pumps over hp may generate high starting forces; a vibration specialist should be consulted. ooling Towers These are normally isolated with restrained spring isolators (type ) directly under the tower or tower dunnage. High defl ection isolators proposed for use directly under the motorfan assembly must be used with extreme caution to ensure stability and safety under all weather conditions. Packaged Rooftop ironditioning Equipment This equipment is usually installed on lightweight structures that are susceptible to sound and vibration transmission problems. The noise problems are compounded further by curbmounted equipment, which requires large roof openings for supply and return air. D vibration isolators are shown for all spans up top ft, but extreme care must be taken for equipment located on spans of over ft, especially if construction is open web joists or thin, lightweight slabs. The recommended procedure is to determine the additional defl ection caused by equipment in the roof. If additional roof defl ection is 0. in. or less, the isolator should be selected for times the additional roof defl ection. If additional roof defl ection is over 0. in, supplemental roof stiffening should be installed to bring the roof defl ection down below 0. in, or the unit should be relocated to a stiffer roof position. For mechanical units capable of generating high noise levels, mount the unit on a platform above the roof deck to provide an air gap (buffer zone) and locate the unit away from the associated roof penetration to allow acoustical treatment of ducts before they enter the building. Some rooftop equipment has compressors, fans, and other equipment isolated internally. This isolation is not always reliable because of internal shortcircuiting, inadequate static defl ection, or panel resonances. It is recommended that rooftop equipment over 00 lb be isolated externally, as if internal isolation was not used. Fans and irhandling Equipment onsider the following in selecting isolation systems for fans and airhandling equipment:. Fans with wheel diameters of 22 in. and less and all fans operating at speeds up to 00 rpm do not generate large vibratory forces. For fans operating under 00 rpm, select isolator defl ection so the isolator natural frequency is % or less than the fan speed. For example, for a fan operating at 275 rpm, 0. x 275 = rpm. Therefore, an isolator natural frequency of rpm or lower is required. This can be accomplished with a in. defl ection isolator (type ). 2. Flexible duct connectors should be installed at the intake and discharge of all fans and airhandling equipment to reduce vibration transmission to air duct structures.. Inertia bases (type ) are recommended for all class 2 and fans and airhandling equipment because extra mass allows the use of stiffer springs, which limit heaving movements.. Thrust restraints (type 5) that incorporate the same defl ection as isolators should be used for all fan heads, all suspended fans, and all basemounted and suspended airhandling equipment operating at 2 in. or more total static pressure. Restraint movement adjustment must be made under normal operational static pressures. *Reprinted with permission from 5 SHRE Handbook. kineticsnoise.com sales@kineticsnoise.com 800959229 Manufacturing facilities in Ohio, US; alifornia, US; and Ontario, anada.
