The compressor is the heart of a refrigeration system. Kilterra supplies BFS semi-hermetic piston compressors and YBF4 condensing units for medium/low-temperature cold rooms, display cabinets and industrial refrigeration. Semi-hermetic construction is serviceable; units are highly integrated and easy to install.
Before You Start
- Mount the unit level on vibration-absorbing base
- Insulate the suction line to prevent liquid return
- Wire per code with correct phase sequence
- Purge and clean lines before connection
Common Installation Mistakes
- Compressor slugging - suction line design or accumulator issue
- High-temperature trip - poor heat rejection or abnormal refrigerant
- Oil loss and wear - poor oil return
- Frequent short-cycling - pressure switch setting or system fault
Notes from the Field
- Semi-hermetic vs hermetic? - Semi-hermetic can be serviced and suits medium/large systems.
- How to size a condensing unit? - Capacity + evaporating temperature + ambient temperature.
- How often to service a compressor? - Check oil and heat rejection every season.
- Why replace the filter drier with a compressor? - Old-system debris will destroy the new machine.
For 37 years Kilterra has focused on one thing: build refrigeration components right, deliver them on time. Compressor / Condensing Unit supports OEM/ODM customization - factory visits, sample testing and volume partnerships are welcome.
