Semi-Hermetic Condensing Unit
Copper tube + aluminum fin air-cooled condenser OR high-efficiency shell-tube water-cooled condenser options.
- 2HP – 50HP
- R404A / R507A / R134A
What The Semi-Hermetic Condensing Unit Does
Howcool Semi-Hermetic Condensing Units use Bitzer / Bock / Frascold semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors — the industry standard for industrial refrigeration above 10HP. Compared to hermetic units, semi-hermetics are serviceable: valve plates, pistons and electrical components can be replaced in the field, extending lifespan to 15-20 years.
Suitable for mid-to-large cold storage projects, logistics centres, food processing lines, pharmaceutical facilities and industrial chillers. Open-type drive allows integration with oil separators, economizers, liquid receivers and filter-driers for optimal system performance. Supports R404A / R507A / R22 / R134a refrigerants.
Our Semi-Hermetic Condensing Units come with your choice of a copper tube and aluminum fin air-cooled condenser or a high-efficiency shell-tube water-cooled condenser. Flexibility ensures you can pick the option that best suits your site conditions.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
Bitzer / Bock Compressors
Premium semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors. Field-serviceable — pistons, valves, bearings can be replaced without scrapping the unit.
Industrial Capacity
10HP to 80HP single-compressor units. Typical COP 2.2-2.8 for medium temp, 1.5-1.9 for low temp.
Complete Accessories
Oil separator, liquid receiver, sight glass, filter-drier, HP/LP controls, phase-protection all integrated on one frame.
Refrigeration Unit Failure Modes
Capacity that collapses in summer
High-ambient compressor selection with condenser heat rejection oversized for the site climate, not for a 35 degree lab rating.
Unplanned downtime
N+1 standby staging on parallel racks and multi-compressor packs keeps the room cold while a compressor is serviced.
Energy bills nobody budgeted
Multi-compressor and screw racks stage capacity to the real load instead of running one large machine at part load.
