2. Mounting and installation
2.1 Basic mounting
Both the motor and the control unit are usually mounted in the heat exchanger
housing. In this way, they do not occupy any space outside of the heat
exchanger housing and are well protected during transport. Furthermore, it is
often advantageous from the point of view of interference (EMC) to place the
motor and control unit in the rotor housing.
Larger motors are usually mounted on a sprung motor support when a V-belt is
used. In this way, problems arising if non-circular rotors are used can be
prevented.
Vibration dampers should be mounted between the motor and the motor
support so that any vibration from the motor is not transmitted to the rotor
housing.
