Types of dampers

A. Liquid Damper

  • Very efficient in most of the cases
  • Economical especialy if the damper is used as a top platform
  • Do not need any maintenance
  • No wear

B. Cable Tuned Mass Damper

  • Very efficient in most of the cases
  • Very little need of maintenance
  • No wear in most cases

C. Dashop Tuned Mass Damper

  • Efficient and economical in most somes cases especially if critical velocity is high and number of vibration cycles is low.
  • Need of maintenance especially if high number of vibrating cycles
  • Wear and replacement to be considered if high number of vibrating cycles

D. Viscous Tuned Mass Damper

  • Very efficient in most of the cases
  • Do not need any maintenance
  • No wear
