The world’s leader in oil-free compressor technology
Danfoss is the leading manufacturer of oil-free compressors and is the pioneer of the Danfoss Turbocor® compressor - the world’s first oil-free magnetic bearing compressor for the HVAC industry.
Oil-Free and Magnetic Bearings: These compressors are characterized by their use of oil-free, magnetic bearings. This feature ensures that the compressors maintain their efficiency and performance throughout their operational life, with zero performance degradation caused by oil-related issues.
Permanent Magnet Motors and Variable Speed Drives: Danfoss Turbocor compressors are equipped with permanent magnet motors and variable speed drives, enhancing their overall efficiency. These technologies allow for precise control and optimization of performance at both full and part load conditions.
High Efficiency and Low Sound Levels: Danfoss Turbocor compressors are designed to provide high efficiency and operate with low sound levels. This is crucial for HVAC systems, where both energy efficiency and noise levels are important requirements.
Versatile Applications: These oil-free centrifugal compressors are adaptable to a wide range of applications. They can be used in air-cooled, water-cooled, or evaporative-cooled chillers. This versatility makes them suitable for various cooling and HVAC requirements, including comfort cooling, low-temperature processes, ice storage, and heat recovery.
Proven Track Record: With over 140,000 compressors installed in various job sites around the world, Danfoss Turbocor compressors have established a strong reputation for reliability and performance in the HVAC industry.
Global Presence: Danfoss Turbocor compressors are manufactured in ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified facilities located in Tallahassee, Florida, and Shanghai, China. The company also maintains sales and service centers in the USA, Europe, and Asia to support customers worldwide.
