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
