Reduce running costs in cooling and save up to 250W per hour*

With our outstanding DC compressors for portable boxes, cars, vans, boats, trucks, etc., Danfoss has transcended the barriers for mobile refrigeration. The excellent performance of the DC series safeguards food, medical and telecommunication.

In areas relying on battery power for up to 16 hours a day, be ensured that BD compressors will ever cool your battery and thus optimize their life lasting. Secure your signal and save your maintenance and replacement costs.

Battery drain being a big issue, BD compressors will allow you to:

  • Use an energy efficient direct current (DC) compressor with a high COP.
  • Build a cooling system that can run on batteries, solar cells and wind turbines without needing conversion to alternating current (AC).
  • Simplify the design of the overall system and ensure maximum performance.

*Compared to other solutions that rely on AC and 230 V AC conversion.

 

Use

  • BD35F/50F/80F (12/24V) and DL19H/22H/30H (12/42V) compressors for R134a in mobile refrigerators and freezers.
  • GLT80TDC (24/42V) and BD250GH.2 /BD350GH (12/24V) compressors for R134a HBP for mobile spot cooling systems.
  • BD35K/50K, R600a compressors for solar-powered applications.
  • BD80/BD100CN, R290 compressors in stationary applications.
  • BD250GH.2 / BD350GH compressors for 48 V DC, R134a HBP for telecommunication.

All compressors are equipped with an electronic control unit with built in speed control, thermostat signal, thermal protection, safety against destructive battery discharge, electronic thermostat and fan speed control on selected models via PC software.
