    Re: which one is good.

    Both would do the job but for that duty my preference would be for a semi hermetic compressor.

    Hopefully some more knowledgeable members will offer some opinions too!
    Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)

    Re: which one is good.

    How many years does the system need to last before being replaced?

    Re: which one is good.

    In Iran, is it easier to get spare parts to repair a recip
    or is it easier to get a full replacement scroll compressor?

    both are same

    mainly I use screw compressor ( NH3 & R-F )

    unfortunately I could not find small size of that .( I need 23KW @ -5/ 30 )

    so moved to other type of compressor

    Re: which one is good.

    How many run hours are the Scroll compressors and the Recips designed to last for?

    Then compare that against the system life expectancy.

    Hi MBC,

    Sorry I mean,

    For the Scroll compressors, how many years do Bitzer say they will run before they die and need replaced?

    And for the Recips, how many years do Bitzer say they will run before they need new parts? Like bearings or an oil pump.

    Bitzer's design life span for their compressors.

    Hope that translates a bit easier.

    Re: which one is good.

    I could not find the documents either.

    I would go with the Recip, then the customer has both option, to repair or to replace.

    Re: which one is good.

    Semi-hermetic Reciprocating Compressors offer easy serviceability but may generate noise and have lower efficiency.

    Scroll Compressors are known for being quiet, energy-efficient, and requiring minimal maintenance, although they may not have the longest lifespan.

    Screw Compressors are particularly well-suited for larger systems.

    If noise and space aren't a concern, and durability and ease of repair are a priority, I would lean towards reciprocating compressors.
