Description
Refrigeration Compressor
A Refrigeration Compressor is a critical component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, responsible for compressing refrigerant vapor to increase its pressure and temperature. This process enables efficient heat exchange and cooling, making refrigeration compressors essential for preserving food, medicines, and other temperature-sensitive goods.
Modern refrigeration compressors come in various types—scroll, rotary, reciprocating, and screw—each designed to meet specific application needs ranging from small household refrigerators to large industrial cold storage facilities. They are engineered to deliver high efficiency, durability, and quiet operation while supporting a wide range of refrigerants, including environmentally friendly options.
