A/C Compressors

Customer Challenge:

  • Adoption of environmentally friendly refrigerants such as CO2 leads to a system pressure increase by approximately a factor of 10, accompanied by limited oil-carrying capabilities
  • This results in hight wear on compressor and valve parts

Oerlikon Solution:

  • PVD coating of compressor parts and valves enhances dry running capabilities
  • Reduced wear and increased efficiency for the entire system
  • Eco-friendly alternative to hazardous hard chromium plating or PTFE coating
