Features and benefits of StarCO₂mpressors for electric buses and trains:
Compact efficiency: innovative "star" drive design with radial piston cylinders arranged in a star configuration around the crankshaft, offering an extremely compact compressor perfectly suited for CO2 refrigerant (R744) and mobile applications.
Energy efficiency: eliminates the need for energy-consuming auxiliary heaters, achieving up to 20% higher efficiency with the CO2 heat pump.
Extended vehicle range: provides approximately 40% more vehicle range, enhancing mobility and reducing operational costs.
BOCK® compressors with R744/CO₂ as refrigerant
- Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective: CO2 is a natural, eco-friendly, and economical refrigerant compared to fluorinated alternatives. It's non-toxic, non-flammable, and colorless.
- Low Environmental Impact: CO2, with a GWP value of 1, isn't subject to the F-Gas Regulation's "Phase-Down Scenario." Leak tests are only mandatory for systems with a 5-tonne CO2 equivalent charge, saving on testing costs.
- No Costly Recovery: CO2 release during service work doesn't necessitate expensive refrigerant recovery, reducing maintenance expenses.
- Expert Support: CO2 systems can have demanding characteristics, including high pressure and low critical points.

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.
