Abstract

A suspension system for a vehicle air conditioner compressor and a vehicle are provided. The suspension system includes: a plurality of rubber dampers a plurality of resilient dampers with a plurality of damper springs; a first compressor bracket connected with the vehicle air conditioner compressor through the plurality of rubber dampers; and a second compressor bracket connected with a vehicle body and with the first compressor bracket through the plurality of resilient dampers. The suspension system for the vehicle air conditioner compressor and the vehicle can solve the problem of low-order vibration and achieve more reasonable modal decoupling, thereby ensuring that the vehicle have better NVH performance.
