Bergmann - Model RSD Series -Tuned Mass Damper for Solar Trackers
The RSD Series Tuned Mass Dampers are engineered to mitigate the effects of vibrations in solar tracker systems. These devices, analogous to harmonic absorbers, are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of solar trackers, which are often susceptible to oscillations induced by wind forces. Installed on structures, they suppress discomfort, avert damage, and prevent external structural failures arising from vibrations. The mass dampers rely on the inertia of a balanced large mass, coordinated by a structural block, to effectively dampen and stabilize the structure against violent harmonic vibrations. This dampening process helps in maintaining the prescribed operational efficiencies of solar tracker arrays, particularly under adverse weather conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability of the solar energy capturing systems.
The mass damper, also called a tuned mass damper or harmonic absorber, is a device mounted on structures to prevent discomfort, damage, and external structural failure caused by vibrations. They find application in solar trackers because they are subject to oscillations due to the force of the wind.
They are devices that work on the same principles as shock absorbers, that is, to absorb the strong rebounds of the masses.
I mass dampers stabilizzano la struttura nella quale sono montati contro movimenti violenti causati dalle vibrazioni armoniche. The presence of a mass damper provides the inertia of a large mass balanced and balanced by a structural block, so that they can absorb (the so-called damping) the oscillation of the structure. Tuned mass dampers for solar trackers are specifically designed and applied to counteract harmful oscillation or vibration frequencies.
