Abstract

The base pan of a refrigeration, air conditioning or heat pump is overlain by a series of assemblies each serially including a grommet, a compressor foot or base and, optionally, a washer or the like. A stud or bolt extending through each assembly secures the respective assembly to the base pan. The grommets are each received in recesses defined by a lip or rim formed on a compressor foot such that the grommets are exteriorly, peripherally or circumferentially engaged by the lip or rim so as to resist transverse motion of the compressor. The grommets are preferably located entirely between the compressor foot or base and the base pan. The grommets have different wall thicknesses at different axial and/or circumferential locations.
