BOCK® HG & HA compressors: Cooling efficiency and reliability revolutionized

Danfoss BOCK®'s HG range offers traditional suction-gas-cooled compressor technology, excelling in ease of operation, low maintenance, high efficiency, and reliability. On the other hand, the air-cooled HA range is specially engineered for low-temperature applications, preventing overheating by air-cooling the motor and cylinder heads separately from the suction gas.

These ranges are available in a variety of low-GWP refrigerants as well as traditional HFCs. Experience a cooling revolution with BOCK compressors, delivering unmatched performance and temperature control.

Features and benefits of HG and HA compressors:

Improved efficiency: enhanced performance and greater displacement stages lead to increased efficiency

Compact design: the compressors feature a more compact structural design for easier integration

Energy savings: advanced valve plate system, latest-generation electrical motors, and improved gas flow reduce energy consumption

Compatibility: redesigned connections align with industry standards, ensuring seamless replacement without adaptation work

Versatility: suitable for various applications, including refrigeration, air conditioning, and supermarket refrigeration

HA principle: Unmatched efficiency for low-temperature air-cooled compressors

Experience cutting-edge low-temperature air-cooled compressors with direct suction operation and efficient motor cooling. Unlike traditional methods, our compressors ensure the suction gas remains unheated by the motor, directly powering the compressor. Thanks to a compact ventilation unit, we achieve precise air cooling for the engine and cylinder heads.

Conclusion:

  • Controlled gas temp for optimized performance.
  • Substantial performance boost.
  • Wider range of versatile applications due to innovative design.

UL recognized

The UL-HGe series seamlessly integrates the time-tested advantages of the suction gas-cooled HG series with rigorous safety standards tailored for the US and Canadian markets. These UL-recognized semi-hermetic compressors, expertly refined by Danfoss BOCK®, are a testament to energy efficiency, robustness, and compact design. Engineered for versatility, the UL-HGe compressors are your reliable choice across a wide spectrum of applications. 

HGZ two-stage compressors

Danfoss BOCK® builds on the HG series to create the HGZ two-stage compressor series for prolonged low-temperature cooling. It offers a 6-cylinder compressor, available in two versions, with optional medium-pressure mixing line or pre-mounted.

Features:
  • 3 capacity stages from 93.7 to 122.4 m³/h (50 Hz)
  • 6-cylinder version
  • LP/HP stage split in a ratio of 2:1
  • Two-stage operation with liquid subcooler
  • Post-injection valve matched to refrigerant and application
  • Particularly reliable and economical compressor concept
