Bitzer Reciprocating Compressor Features
1. High Efficiency & Performance
Optimized piston design for energy-saving operation (meets EU ErP Directive standards).
High COP (Coefficient of Performance) for reduced power consumption.
Bitzer reciprocating compressor suitable for medium to low-temperature applications (down to -40°C / -40°F).
2. Robust & Durable Construction
Heavy-duty cast iron crankcase for long service life.
Precision-machined pistons, cylinders, and valves for reliable compression.
Forged steel crankshaft with anti-friction bearings for smooth operation.
3. Wide Refrigerant Compatibility
Works with HFCs (R404A, R507, R134a), natural refrigerants (NH₃, CO₂), and HFOs (R1234ze, R513A).
Special versions available for ammonia (NH₃) and CO₂ (R744) applications.
4. Flexible Configuration Options
Open, semi-hermetic, and hermetic designs (e.g., 2D, 4D, 6D series).
Single-stage and two-stage models for different pressure requirements.
Capacity control options (cylinder unloading, frequency inverter drive).
5. Advanced Motor & Protection Systems
Bitzer reciprocating compressor with high-efficiency IE3 motors (optional IE4 for ultra-low energy consumption).
Built-in thermal overload protection, oil pressure monitoring, and vibration dampers.
Low starting current for reduced electrical stress.
Configuration of condensing unit:
Compressor, condenser, axial fan with external rotor, liquid receiver, HP/LP controller, HP/LP gauge, dry filter, solenoid valve, sight glass, check valve, junction box, etc.
