Choice of compressor is one of the most important selections for any commercial HVAC or refrigeration system. Compressors come in a variety of styles, most with performance qualities very different from the conventional compressor using piston-based displacement.

The technology behind your compressor determines factors like its size, load capabilities, and working environment it is best suited for. On the other hand, your choice of compressor brand can make a big difference in overall maintenance and how to get expert help with the unit.

Whether you are running a refrigeration system or commercial air conditioning, a compressor unit is essential to all cooling functions. The compressor is the key component that enables refrigerant gas to move through the system. If it fails, the entire cooling system comes to a stop – no matter the details.

Although each component in a cooling system makes an important contribution, it’s the compressor that compresses refrigerant gas and provides the necessary mechanical energy. All other parts rely on it.
