Low-vibration Pumps for Commercial HVAC

Silent, smooth operation for premium and noise-sensitive environments.
Low-vibration pumps are specifically engineered to minimize operational noise and vibration transmission, making them essential for commercial HVAC installations in offices, hotels, hospitals, theaters, and high-end retail where occupant comfort is paramount. EKG Malaysia supplies and installs these precision-balanced pumps, ensuring they meet stringent acoustic criteria without compromising performance or efficiency.

Engineering Features for Low Vibration:

• Dynamically Balanced Rotors: Impellers and shafts balanced to ISO 1940 G6.3 or better standards to eliminate rotational vibration at the source.

• Heavy-Duty Bearings & Shafts: Oversized, precision bearings and rigid shafts to dampen vibration.

• Resilient Mounting: Isolated baseplates with anti-vibration pads or spring isolators to decouple pump vibration from the building structure.

• Acoustic Enclosures (Optional): Sound-attenuating covers for installations in extremely sensitive areas.

• Low-RPM Design: Where feasible, selection of 1450 rpm pumps over 2900 rpm models for inherently lower vibration and noise.

Typical Noise Levels: Operate below 45-50 dB(A) at 1 meter—quieter than normal conversation.

Ideal Commercial Applications:

• Corporate Offices & Boardrooms

• Luxury Hotels & Suites

• Hospitals & Patient Care Wards

• Broadcasting Studios & Performing Arts Centers

• Museums, Libraries, & Galleries

• High-End Residential Towers

Why Standard Pumps Can Be Problematic:
Even minor vibration from a standard pump can transmit through pipes and structure, causing audible humming or buzzing in adjacent occupied spaces—a frequent source of tenant complaints and comfort issues.

Our Low-Vibration Pump Service:

1. Acoustic Assessment: We evaluate the pump location relative to sensitive occupied areas and define performance criteria.

2. Product Selection: Recommending pumps from manufacturers with verified low-vibration performance data.

3. Professional Installation: Critical for achieving specified performance. Includes:

   • Decoupled Piping: Using flexible braided hoses or rubber expansion joints on suction and discharge.

   • Isolated Mounting: Installing on inertia bases with vibration isolators.

   • Proper Structural Support: Ensuring pipes are independently supported to avoid transmitting vibration.

Peace is a premium feature.
A low-vibration pump should be imperceptible in daily operation, preserving the acoustic comfort and quality of the space.
