Piston Compressors | Commercial refrigeration, Industrial cooling | Cylindrical design (ISO 9001), Stainless Steel (ASTM A240), 45 dB noise (ISO 3744), 300 psi capacity | Robust construction (▲ durability vs. plastic alternatives), customizable ports (▲ flexibility), 1-year warranty | Higher maintenance needs, larger footprint, moderate energy efficiency |
Scroll Compressors | Residential HVAC, Light commercial systems | Compact scroll plates, 40 dB noise (ISO 3744), limited refrigerant ports | Ultra-quiet operation (▲5dB quieter than piston), low maintenance | Limited customization, lower capacity, fixed speed |
Rotary Screw Compressors | Industrial plants, High-pressure systems | Rotary design, 300 psi (ASME BPVC), 55 dB noise (ISO 3744) | High-pressure capability (▲300 psi vs. reciprocating), reliable for heavy-duty use | High initial cost, complex maintenance requirements, larger size |
Centrifugal Compressors | Large-scale chillers, Data centers | High flow rates (ISO 50001), 70 dB noise (ISO 3744), variable speed | Exceptional efficiency at full load (▲20% over piston), scalable capacity | Inefficient at partial load, expensive, requires skilled installation |
Reciprocating Compressors | Small to medium systems, Refrigerated trucks | Piston-driven, 50 dB noise (ISO 3744), basic design | Cost-effective (▲ lower price than scroll), easy maintenance, durable | Lower energy efficiency (▲15% less than scroll), limited scalability |
Inverter Compressors | Modern HVAC, Energy-efficient buildings | Variable speed (IEC 60034-30), adaptive cooling (±1°C), 48 dB noise | Energy-efficient (▲20% savings), precise temperature control (▲ accuracy) | Higher upfront cost, complex electronics, requires specialized installation |
