GAS CENTRIFUGE UNIT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B01D59/20 

FIELD: gas centrifuges for separation of gas mixtures and isotope mixtures; construction of gas centrifuge units; industrial centrifuges for separation of uranium isotopes or multi-unit stands for separation of stable isotopes.

SUBSTANCE: proposed gas centrifuge unit has centrifuges arranged in two rows and secured on common frame equipped with transversal beams mounted on bearing cantilevers of columns; frame is additionally supported by springs mounted on lower ends of vertical rods whose upper ends are mounted on cantilever. Springs may be mounted on lower transversal beams and may be pressed to them by means of nut and washer. Springs may be also mounted on bearing members secured on lower transversal beams; bearing members may extend beyond clearance limits of frame in width and length. Upper ends of rods may be mounted on plates located on cantilevers. Use of this unit makes it possible to decrease seismic action by 1.5-2 times.

EFFECT: enhanced dampening of seismic oscillations and reduction of seismic action.
