Use Scroll Compressors

Affordability

When a failed reciprocating compressor must be replaced, consult your refrigeration service provider about using a scroll compressor. Often replacing the entire condenser unit will be more cost effective.

Cost savings

Cost savings can be substantial. A leading manufacturer's recent study showed an annual operating saving of 18% on a small walk-in cooler.

Environmental considerations

Scroll compressors will reduce energy and last longer than reciprocating compressors, thus reducing impact on landfills.

What you need to know

• The larger the horse-power (hp) of the compressor, the greater the potential savings.
• Careful matching of the scroll compressor to the evaporator coil and the load conditions are required. Consult your refrigeration service provider.

FAQ

What are the advantages of a scroll compressor?

• Scroll compressors move refrigerant more efficiently than reciprocating compressors.
• Scroll compressors have fewer moving parts than reciprocating compressors, meaning they require less maintenance and last longer.
