KAK Braided Vibration Absorbers (Vibration Eliminators)
KAK Vibration Absorbers are high-performance flexible connectors engineered to isolate dynamic vibration and dampen pulsations generated by compressors in commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems.
Designed for durability and safety, each unit features a corrugated stainless steel core reinforced with high-tensile stainless steel braiding and heavy-duty copper ODF ends for a reliable brazed connection.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Superior Vibration Isolation: Effectively absorbs compressor-induced vibration and high-frequency pulsations to maintain system integrity.
- Leak Prevention: Protects copper tubing from fatigue-related cracking, significantly reducing the risk of costly refrigerant leaks.
- Acoustic Noise Reduction: Dampens mechanical stress and airborne noise for quieter system operation.
- Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for use with R22, R410A, R32, R134a, R290, and CO₂ systems.
- Extreme Durability: Precision-engineered to withstand high-pressure environments and thermal expansion.
Engineering Specifications:
- Core Construction: Flexible corrugated stainless steel inner hose.
- Reinforcement: High-density T304 stainless steel wire braiding.
- Connection Ends: Pure copper ODF (Solder) ends for seamless brazing installation.
- Max Working Pressure: Up to 4.2 MPa (600 psi) with a 5:1 burst pressure safety factor.
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +248°F).
- Compliance: 100% helium leak-tested for maximum reliability.
Common Applications:
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF/VRV) Systems
Commercial Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Units
Condensing Units & Industrial Chillers
Suction and Discharge Lines in Rack Systems

FAQ
Q1: What is a vibration eliminator in HVAC?
A: A vibration eliminator absorbs mechanical and dynamic vibrations from compressors, preventing copper tube fatigue and refrigerant leakage in HVAC systems.
Q2: How does a vibration absorber work?
A: It uses a stainless steel braided hose to flex and absorb vibration energy, isolating compressor movement from the piping network.
Q3: What is the difference between a vibration eliminator and isolator?
A: An eliminator is installed directly in refrigerant lines, while an isolator typically supports the compressor base. Both reduce vibration and noise.
Q4: Can KAK vibration eliminators be used for refrigeration?
A: Yes, they are ideal for air conditioning, heat pumps, and commercial refrigeration systems using R22, R410A, R32, or R134a refrigerants.
Q5: What materials are used in KAK eliminators?
A: Each unit features a stainless steel braided hose and seamless copper ODF tube ends for corrosion resistance and strong brazed sealing.
