Air Handling Units: Why Anti-Vibration Mounts Need To Be Installed Correctly

Air Handling Units: Why Anti-Vibration Mounts Need To Be Installed Correctly

by HVDS / Friday, 08 February 2019 / Published in NEWS

When carrying out a survey on some Air Handling Units (AHUs) at a food manufacturer & processor recently, we came across this scenario; the AHU fan’s anti-vibration mounts had either completely come off or were not installed correctly.

With the fan still running and providing good airflow, it can lead you to believe that the system is fine and that it doesn’t need any immediate maintenance. However, small problems like this can lead to much bigger issues in the long run.

Why are anti-vibration mounts so important?

Here we take a look at four reasons why you should be ensuring that the fan anti-vibration mounts on your AHU’s are installed correctly:

  1. Anti-vibration mounts help to reduce vibration noise
  2. The mounts protect the fan by preventing the fan blades hitting the casing, and breaking off and throwing the fan off balance
  3. Anti-vibration mounts prevent structural problems occurring in the AHU caused by vibration
  4. The anti-vibes allow the correct and natural fluid movement of the fan whilst in operation and allows it to work at its optimum effectiveness and efficiency

Checking your anti-vibration mounts are in place correctly

As we all know, prevention is better than cure. Here at HVDS we can carry out an in-depth mechanical analysis and survey of all your AHU and fan requirements on site, to help you avoid potential costly repairs and maintenance in the future.
