Purpose-Engineered for Refrigeration - MLZ Refrigeration Scroll Compressors

Danfoss is committed to providing high-quality, highperformance compression technology solutions for refrigeration applications around the world. From milk tanks and supermarkets to cold rooms and ice makers, we seek sustainable solutions to our customers’ energy, environmental and food safety challenges.

Take our latest compressor, the MLZ Scroll compressor: a scroll compressor family purpose-engineered for refrigeration.

Why is this important? It’s simple: The operating envelope for refrigeration is different than for air conditioning and other applications.
And operating conditions are different from application to application. They can even differ with the varying ambient temperatures in which the equipment operates.

With this in mind, the engineers at Danfoss labs designed the MLZ. It delivers gains in energy efficiency and reliability, no matter what the application, operating conditions or where it will be used.

Lowest energy consumption, in application

The combination of an energy efficient motor and a specially designed high volume ratio hybrid scroll wrap optimized for refrigeration applications, delivers the highest efficiency in fixed speed, normal operation. In low ambient conditions, the operating envelope has been extended down to 100 C / 500 F, allowing floating condensing pressure, again improving efficiency. For those ‘refrigeration events, (where conditions are changing), the Danfoss patented AdaptiveControl axial compliant scroll design insures maximum efficiency over varying conditions.

Improved Uptime

Reliability is built into to this compressor family, from the self-aligning, compliant scroll design to the carbon bearings, to the reduced complexity manufacturing process (30% fewer parts). In addition, the patented HOOP overload protection design insures excellent motor protection while eliminating nuisance trips.

Silent

The MLZ Scroll compressor is quiet by design: The basic scroll’s smooth continuous compression, the elimination of the suction and discharge valves, and the unique disc check valve design insures quiet, vibration free operation.

The right solution for your specific application

Refrigeration applications may appear to be similar, but they have different demands and needs for performance – all of which can be met by Danfoss MLZ scroll compressors. At the end of the day, it will help your brands to differentiate themselves in the marketplace – while helping your customers reduce costs, meet regulatory requirements and increase profitability.
