Semi-hermetic Compressors

Improved efficiency, proven technology and ease of application are the key features that make Copeland semi-hermetic compressors number one in their class.

Improved gas management and next generation Discus valve technology provide better operating efficiency, particularly with operating conditions where the semi-hermetic compressor runs most often. The streamlined body of the 4D and 6D semi-hermetic compressors improves gas flow and oil management, and increases efficiency. Enhanced 4D and 6D solid post Discus retainers increase efficiency and lower sound levels by 3 to 5 dBA from those of existing Discus models. These new semi-hermetic compressors feature improved head designs that lower sound levels by reducing discharge pulsation levels. A unique crankcase ventilation system manages oil better and reduces the oil circulation rate drastically.

The latest generation of 3D technology is incorporated into the 4D and 6D to provide even greater reliability over the operating life of the compressor. These models are compatible with the Sentronic lubrication protection system - the industry’s most accurate and one that requires no capillary tubes that can break or leak, and offers maximum compressor protection as well as environmental integrity. To improve serviceability and ease of conversion, the upgraded 4D and 6D have the same footprint, mounting feet and service valve locations, and near equal capacities to previous models for drop-in replacement of existing 4D and 6D compressors.

These new models are designed for lower sound, reduced pulsation and simplified application to lower the applied cost. These improved compressors are also designed for the broader application of environmentally acceptable refrigerants, ensuring that Copeland semi-hermetic compressors are the right technology for today and tomorrow.

Here is a closer look at the different types of semi-hermetic Copeland Compressors.

•Copeland K semi-hermetic compressor: The most popular selling Copeland brand semi-hermetic compressor is the K model. The Copeland K-Body has a long-standing reputation for having the ability to reliably maintain lower temperatures inside freezers, ensuring superior food quality for ice-cream and other frozen foods. The company created the K semi-hermetic compressor to save their customers money in every corner of their operation. They designed the compressor's pistons for increased cooling capacity and installed an energy efficient motor that saves electricity. Durable bearings were installed for longer freezer life and allowed the Copeland K to run at lower operating speeds to reduce both sound and vibration. The result: a compressor that helps you save energy while cutting operating expenses and reduce service calls and maintenance costs.

•Semi-Hermetic reciprocating compressors: The reciprocating compressors are available in 20 to 240 Horsepower for air conditioning, high, medium, and low temperature applications. Some Copeland Models are ER, NR, MR, 4R, 6R, 8R, 9R, 2D, 4D, 6D, 8D, and 3D reciprocating compressors models.

The design of the reciprocating compressor is somewhat similar to a modern automotive engine, with a piston driven from a crankshaft making alternate suction and compression strokes in a cylinder equipped with suction and discharge valves. Since the reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement pump, it is suitable for small displacement volumes, and is efficient even at high condensing pressures and high compression ratios. Other advantages of a reciprocating compressor are its adaptability to a variety of refrigerants, the fact that liquid refrigerant may be easily run through the connecting piping because of the high pressure developed by the compressor, its durability, basic simplicity of design an relatively low cost.

The modern trend in air conditioning and refrigeration industry is towards more compact, easy to handle and automatic operation units. Semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors are best sited for such needs and give the benefits of both open drive and hermetic compressors.
