Saying that it is the only screw compressor unit with a five year compressor and 15-year bearing warranty, Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson, has recently launched its Vilter brand industrial refrigeration compressors in the Middle East and Africa markets.
According to Emerson, the single screw compressor technology with patented parallex slide system, elicits the following advantages:
- Part-load energy efficiency
- Balanced forces (radial and axial) for long life and low maintenance
- Quiet, vibration-free compressor
- All bearings are at suction pressure for reliability
- Widest operating range: 1.2-7.0 Vi
Emerson claims that the introductory seminars and training sessions it conducted have received positive response from interested contractors and end users, thanks to the cost-saving advantages of the single screw technology.
The company also offers Vilter’s 450XL series reciprocating compressors, with applications in the carbonated beverage and ice-making segments. Its features and applications include:
- Ideal for variable loads
- Instant unloading capabilities
- Superior part-load performance
- Inherent variable volume ratio
- Cold starting capabilities with low head pressures <2:1
- Can operate at 100% unloading for extended periods
- Enhanced part-load performance
I’ve been an end user/self taught technician also recently having gone to the Vilter single screw school . And using Vilter single screws for the last 7 yrs and we make ice with all four of our screws. We have the capability to make 360 us tons if ice per/24 hrs and this equipment is second to none very low maintenance and virtually no down time after learning about vilters proprietary technology if your mechanically inclined in the least you will understand why these machines are so darn good as long as you follow all maintenance and repair procedures per the (grail) that is the service manual you will never be let down by these machines. They are pricy but it goes the same way with anything you get what you pay for and let me be the one to tell you if your looking for reliability flexibility of loading and longevity these are The screws for you. Ps we use ours to produce ice to crush up and blow out a hose to a snow tubing area during the winter months in Atlanta Georgia so if you know anything g about the south you know winters are warm so we rely heavily on these screws to keep the snow in the ground trust me these are the best
