Ebm‑papst introduced Compact Turbo Compressors Enhance Heat Pumps and Refrigeration

ebm‑papst has introduced the CompaNamic turbo compressor, a compact and robust solution for oil-free gas compression, essential for heat pumps and refrigeration technology. Designed for motor power ranges from 1 kWe to 55 kWe, these compressors offer high efficiency and durability while accommodating various refrigerants with reduced volume, lowering the refrigerant requirement by up to 90%.

The 3 kWe and 10 kWe models are optimized for refrigerants like R290 and R1234ze(E), making them ideal for heat pumps in larger buildings and industrial settings. The oil-free design enhances heat exchanger efficiency and pressure loss reduction, ensuring a service life of approximately 150,000 hours and over a million start-stop cycles.

Featuring compact internal rotor motors, these compressors achieve 3 kWe at 240,000 rpm and up to 55 kWe at 60,000 rpm, with power electronics supporting voltages from 180 to 480 VAC. Their advanced modulation control ensures high efficiency, even at partial load, and supports environmentally friendly refrigerants with no global warming potential. The CompaNamic compressors provide quiet, vibration-free operation, meeting high standards for reliability and ease of use in demanding applications.
