Abstract
There is disclosed herein a suspension system including a shipping stop arrangement for resiliently mounting a refrigeration motor-compressor unit within a hermetically sealed shell. The suspension system comprises a three point supporting arrangement employing a pair of laterally disposed springs, each having a single tapered portion, for providing vertical support to the motor-compressor, in combination with a single top spring for providing lateral stability. Lateral and vertical motion limiting shipping stops are also provided to prevent excessive movement of the motor-compressor, such as may occur during shipment thereof, from damaging the suspension system members. In addition, the system is capable of accommodating different size motor-compressor units in a standardized hermetic shell size by using simple spacers of different sizes.
