This document discusses reducing vibration in roof-top air conditioning unit compressors during shipping. Experiments were conducted placing materials like plywood underneath the basepan to reduce vibration transferred to the compressor. Modal analysis was used to understand vibration modes. Adding a grounded 4x4 wood block between shipping crates helped drastically reduce compressor response. A tolerance study was needed to ensure the wood block could be manufactured and installed properly between stacked units during shipping. The goal was to address high compressor vibration levels that could damage piping or cause failures during transportation.
