Key Highlights

In March 2025, Frascold introduced next-gneeration semi-hermetic compressors for 2025, make a significant innovation in the HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) sector. Frascold's new compressor series is its ability to operate at high temperatures, up to 165°C. This opens new opportunities for applications that require both refrigeration and heating capabilities, in industrial heating, district heating and heat pumps. It was aimed to applied in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.

Report Analysis:

Specific Eligibility Criteria for Compressors:

There are specific conditions that refrigeration compressors must meet. These criteria are set to ensure that compressors are efficient, durable, and safe for use in refrigeration systems.

Compressor Type Requirement: The compressor must be of a hermetic or semi-hermetic type. This means that the compressor motor is enclosed within the compressor housing to prevent exposure to external conditions, ensuring higher efficiency and safety.

Incorporation of Positive Displacement Compressor: The compressor or economizer package must include a positive displacement compressor with an integral electric motor. Positive displacement compressors are designed to move a fixed volume of refrigerant in a consistent manner, ensuring stable and reliable operation.

Minimum Displacement Capacity: Compressors must have a displacement greater than 9 cubic meters per hour. However, for systems using R744 (CO?) as the refrigerant, the displacement must be greater than 5 cubic meters per hour.

Coefficient of Performance (COP) Requirement: The compressor must have a Coefficient of Performance (COP) greater than specified values at certain rating points. COP is a measure of the efficiency of a refrigeration compressor, higher COP values indicate more efficient systems.
