Isolation and Sound Emission

The most effective form of isolation is to locate the unit
away from any sound sensitive area. Structurally
transmitted sound can be reduced by elastomeric
vibration eliminators. Spring isolators are not
recommended. Consult an acoustical engineer in
critical sound applications.
For maximum isolation effect, isolate water lines and
electrical conduit. Wall sleeves and rubber isolated
piping hangers can be used to reduce the sound

transmitted through water piping. To reduce the sound
transmitted through electrical conduit, use flexible
electrical conduit.
State and local codes on sound emissions should
always be considered. Since the environment in which
a sound source is located affects sound pressure, unit
placement must be carefully evaluated. Sound power
levels for Stealth chillers are available on request.
