Carrier Semi Hermetic Compressor

• Used in commercial and industrial cold rooms for food storage and processing.
• Integrated into refrigeration systems for large-scale climate control.
• Suitable for process cooling applications in various industrial sectors.
• Utilised in blast chillers and freezers for rapid temperature reduction.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of semi-hermetic compressor, cooling capacities commonly range from 40 kW to over 100 kW, depending on refrigerant and operating conditions.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK, with appropriate motor protection.

Refrigerant compatibility

Carrier 06ET series compressors are generally designed for use with a range of HFC refrigerants, such as R404A, R507, or R134a, depending on the specific model variant.

Footprint

Semi-hermetic compressors typically have a compact footprint for their capacity, suitable for integration into plant rooms or packaged refrigeration units.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves oil changes, filter drier replacement, and electrical checks to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Pressure ratings

Maximum operating pressures for the high side commonly range up to 30-32 bar, with lower pressures on the suction side.

• What is a semi-hermetic compressor?

  A semi-hermetic compressor has a bolted casing, allowing access for internal maintenance and repairs, unlike fully hermetic units which are sealed.
