An embodiment of an outdoor unit for a climate control system includes a refrigerant compressor. In addition, the outdoor unit includes a plurality of refrigerant lines coupled to the refrigerant compressor. Further, the outdoor unit includes an enclosure positioned around the refrigerant compressor, wherein the enclosure includes an inner jacket and an outer jacket, the inner jacket being engaged with the outer jacket such that the inner jacket is configured to deform independently from the outer jacket to dissipate vibration emitted from the refrigerant compressor.

Embodiments of vibration damping clips for use within a climate control system are disclosed. In an embodiment, a vibration damping clip is engaged with three fluid lines of an outdoor unit of the climate control system, such as, for instance, a suction line of a compressor of the climate control system, a discharge line of the compressor, and a fluid line coupled to a pressure equalization valve (PEV) within the outdoor unit.

A pressure pulsation trap is provided. The pressure pulsation trap includes a channel extending from an inlet to an outlet, and a plurality of branches extending from the channel, each of the branches having different lengths than one another. The different lengths are configured such that the branches attenuate noise and/or vibration over a range of operating frequencies.

Pressure pulsation traps

A tension support system for a motorized fan is provided. The tension support system includes a fan assembly disposed within a fan housing, the fan assembly including a motor configured to selectively operate the fan assembly. The tension support system further includes multiple connectors configured to secure the motor to inner walls of the fan housing such that the fan assembly is substantially supported by the inner walls.

A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system has a fan component defining a radially interior space and a radially exterior space and a tube disposed in the radially exterior space, the tube being in fluid communication with the radially interior space at a first angular location and a second angular location different from the first angular location.

HVAC system with noise reducing tube

A system for measuring forces from a rotating object is presented. In one aspect, the measurement system has a plurality of strain sensors that are configured to attach to the sidewall of a tire of a vehicle and measure the strain on the sidewall. The system can also have a data processor to relate the strain on the sidewall to the normal force exerted on the driving surface from the tire.
