It was a big project - 38 HVAC systems for 22 luxury condo units. However, the unexpected vibration and noise that resulted during testing would be unacceptable to its future residents. The issue had to be resolved before tenants started moving in.
While the equipment from the manufacturer was in perfect operating condition, the heat pump condenser units vibrated during start up. The units are located on top of a three-story complex that is a mixture condominiums and retail shops. During construction, the builders noticed the vibration and noise coming from the rooftops down into the third floor and even second floor.
The Kellett team obtained the basic footprint and weight of the units and recommended four LP-13 Shake Absorber® Vibration Isolation Pads, measuring 4" x 4" x 3/4, " 50 Shore A Durometer. The quote and requested technical information were presented and approved by the engineer, builder, architect, and most important, by the maker of the heat pumps!
Problem solved!

Since 1960, Kellett Enterprises, Inc., has been resolving vibration issues around the world. At first glance, many shake absorber pads look very similar; but that's where the similarity ends. Not only do Kellett Enterprise customers realize the most efficient and quality-controlled effectiveness in any industry, they also obtain the most advanced energy and cost saving technology available in any vibration isolation pad.
Immediately following installation, most vibration pads adequately absorb machine vibration. Eventually time, moisture, grease, oil, solvents and water take their toll as ordinary pads breakdown, losing their effectiveness and deteriorating to the point where replacement becomes necessary. This deterioration takes anywhere from a week to several months, costing you time and money in parts replacement and downtime of your equipment. The LP-13 Shake Absorber® has been tested and resists all of these elements.
Benefits
The properties which set the LP-13 Shake Absorber® apart from ordinary vibration pads consists of a plastic Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) layer between two layers of very tough but flexible custom blended neoprene. The cushion serves to dampen machine vibration while the ABS layer absorbs violent shocks and evenly distributes the weight of the machine.
