Select compressors to find the best Danfoss compressor alternative for the existing compressor model in your system.

How it works

Quick Guide:

1. Search for Text: Enter the model designation or code number- active or discontinued, partial or complete.
2. You can select the Application area, but it is not mandatory.
3. Select the Refrigerant. This is not absolutely necessary, but it will limit the list of possible models.
4. If you know the manufacturer, you can select this.
6. If you want to further limit the search select the technology.
