BOCK® hydrocarbon compressors: The natural choice
Hydrocarbons are gaining ground as a natural refrigerant alternative in applications like supermarket refrigeration and chillers. Danfoss BOCK®'s hydrocarbon compressors are based on the HG well-known platform, and offer long-term reliability and safety for system manufacturers, users, and investors.
Our specialized HC compressors come with safety modifications and are optimized for hydrocarbon use. However, please note that only trained experts should operate them, adhering to safety measures and an agreement on hydrocarbons as a refrigerant (BOCK Art. No. 09996).
Features and benefits of hydrocarbon compressors:
Optimized total cost of ownership (TCO): cost-effective HC compressor version available, including non-ATEX option
Highest efficiency: achieve maximum efficiency for your operations
Sustainable solution: embrace an eco-friendly approach with hydrocarbon compressors
Holistic design: specifically tailored for hydrocarbon applications
Reliable long-life design: benefit from over a decade of experience in various applications
Wide & safe operating range: the market's largest reciprocating HC range offers versatility and safety, even in special applications
Differences to a standard HG compressor
- Oil sump heater (necessary)
- Thermal protection thermostat (recommended)
- Special oil charge
- Durable driving gear for demanding applications with hydrocarbons
- Electronic motor protection
- INT69 G enclosed for installation in the switch cabinet

Improving indoor air quality by increasing the amount of outdoor air (OA) entering a building is necessary in many facilities. Depending on occupant density, some buildings may require 20 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of outdoor air per person, a volume of air that can increase air-conditioning costs.
