Large roof-mounted AHU/RTU in sensitive buildings is typically mounted on spring isolators with bases to (conceptual)?
Choices
- (A) Duct FPM in basement
- (B) Increase structural steel weight
- (C) Reduce structure-borne vibration and re-radiation into occupied spaces, tuned to deflection/ rpm
- (D) Enlarge cooling tower plume
Correct answer: (C)
Reduce structure-borne vibration and re-radiation into occupied spaces, tuned to deflection/ rpm
Explanation
Isolation: spring deflection vs rpm, seismic snubbers, flexible connectors.
