Europe Reciprocating Heat Pump Compressors Industry News

  • In July 2024, Danfoss unveiled new compressors designed for low-GWP and natural refrigerants including the PSH scroll, VZN inverter scroll, and BOCK, the semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors. The semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor, BOCK HGX56 CO2 T, a 6-cylinder unit, is suitable for large industrial heat pumps. It can achieve water temperatures up to 90°C and provides an efficient alternative to synthetic refrigerants and ammonia. Additionally, the reciprocating compressor reduces costs, simplifies system complexity, and decreases the number of compressors needed for large industrial heat pumps, district heating systems and refrigeration.
     
  • In April 2024, Frascold has launched a new range of transcritical CO2 (R744) semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors called the TK HD series. This line includes 34 models with refrigeration capacities from 3.7 to 72kW. The series offers two motor options, ranging from 3 to 50HP. An inverter option is available, increasing the compressors' adaptability for various HVAC&R uses, such as refrigeration, air-conditioning, and high-temperature heat pumps systems up to 100°C. These compressors are engineered for pressures up to 100 bar and provide volumetric displacements between 1.9 and 37.9 m3 per hour at 50 Hz.
