Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatuses configured to isolate and/or damp vibration of refrigerant lines caused by, for example, the compressor are disclosed. A vibration control device can be configured hold a refrigerant line at a position that is away from the compressor. The vibration control device can help isolate the vibration, reducing or preventing the vibration from passing the vibration control device along the refrigerant line. A vibration-damping device can be configured to engage the refrigerant line so as to absorb/damp the vibration of the refrigerant line.
