    Small/tiny aircon compressor required



    Hi everyone,

    I'm searching for a range of small air-conditioning compressors for a specific new design application.

    The smallest I have found so far is:
    Manufacturer : Emerson/Copeland
    Model # : ZR18K4E-PFJ (220-50-1, scroll)
    Rated capacity : 3.0 kW @ Tc,s 50'C; Te,s 7'C
    Refrigerant : R-134a

    If anyone has links, or literature on smaller compressors than this, for use in air-conditioning applications, I would be most grateful. They can be of any type, not restricted to scroll.

    Many thanks,
    desA

    It is a tiny rotary compressor for R134a.
    used by Rittal for cooling electrical cabinets.

    Good luck.

    Re: Small/tiny aircon compressor required

    Next question - does anyone know where the XB357VFB can be purchased?

    Been searching the internet & the main Mitsubishi Electric global website. Can't seem to locate the product at all.

    If memory serves, I tried hunting this same compressor down around 3 months back (saw it mentioned in a scientific paper & the name rung a bell), with similar results.

    Re: Small/tiny aircon compressor required

    ^ Saw that thread on a Google search. Trouble is that the Japan link no longer works & the Mitsubishi UK search comes up with nothing.

    I'll look at the German link to SKG Service & see if that is still active.

    Re: Small/tiny aircon compressor required

    The model number in the pics on thread ^^ has changed from XB357VFB to XB357GUD.

    This links it to Rittal as a spare part. Wonder if there is any other way to purchase direct in Asia - Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam?

    I'd love to see the performance curves, as I think this compressor may just be the kind of thing I'm after.

    Here are links to two compressor brochures the ME German site.

    http://www.mitsubishi-electric-airco...hter__2006.pdf

    http://www.mitsubishi-electric-airco...generation.pdf

    These provide useful information about these small Mitsubishi compressors. I'll follow up in more detail next week.
