How does isolation contribute to noise and vibration control in refrigeration systems?

Isolation is a key component of noise and vibration control measures in refrigeration systems. It involves separating the source of noise and vibration from the rest of the system using mounts, pads, or hangers. By decoupling the vibrating component from the surrounding structure, isolation reduces the transmission of noise and vibration, minimizing their impact on the system and surrounding environment. Effective isolation can be achieved through the use of vibration isolators, such as spring mounts or rubber pads, which absorb and dissipate vibrational energy.
