Innovative HG-series compressors: Lightweight solutions for mobile cooling

Danfoss BOCK®'s HG-series aluminum compressors are ideal for mobile refrigeration. They're 40% lighter, low-profile for vehicle roofs, and feature a robust K-design valve plate for bus air conditioning and electric applications.

They handle large inclination angles of the vehicle with special oil management, and the K valve plate has a proven track record in vehicle applications.

Features and benefits of HG compressors for mobile use

  • Lightweight design thanks to the all-aluminum construction, enhancing mobility and efficiency.

  • Increased performance: The 2-pole version offers a significant performance gains and improved capabilities for various applications.

  • Space-efficient: these compressors feature a compact design with a reduced-height terminal box, making them ideal for space-constrained environments.

  • Enhanced safety: BOCK® mobile aluminum compressors meet EN45545's highest fire protection class HL3, ensuring top-tier safety for railway air-conditioning systems.

  • Available for R134a, R513A, R452A, R1234yf, R290, as well as R404A, R407A/C/F.

Product features (quick overview)
  • Available as 2- and 4-cylinder compressors in cast iron or all-aluminum lightweight construction
  • Semi-hermetic compressors with 2-pole drive motor:
    Based on the HG standard compressors with their outstanding advantages and features, versions with 2-pole drive motor are available with up to 70% increased cooling capacity with the same external dimensions. This is made possible by doubling the speed at the same mains frequency. Together with the robust and reliable BOCK® K valve plate, this results in the optimal solution for bus air conditioning and many other mobile applications.
  • Lightweight aluminum construction 40% lighter than cast iron version
  • Power control also possible digitally in wide bandwidth
  • Reliable and efficient reciprocating piston technology with optimized valve plate system and low oil throw
  • Highly efficient 4-pole and 2-pole electric motors
  • Wear-resistant and durable power unit
Unique benefits
  • Powerful and compact 2-pole drive motor (2,900 1/min - 50 Hz)
  • Reduced overall height (300 mm) with optional terminal box
  • Lockable metal terminal box for access restriction
  • Terminal blocks with enhanced serviceability and rail approval, resistant to shock and vibration
  • Fire protection class HL3 According to rail standard EN 45545-2
  • Pressure circulation lubrication with oil pump as standard
  • Electronic motor protection
Reliable oil-supply
  • Oil pump lubrication independent of direction of rotation
  • Minimal oil throw
  • Service-friendly oil strainer
  • Oil pressure monitoring possible
  • Large-volume oil sump
  • PTC oil sump heater, self-regulating for HG12 to HG34e
For power-intensive applications: 2-pole drive motor

The 2-pole design compressors offer unparalleled refrigerating capacity for power-intensive applications like mobile air conditioning. Available in both cast iron and lightweight aluminum construction, these compressors also come with optional low terminal boxes and a reduced overall height of 300 mm.

With valve plates K and N

K valve plate advantages:

  • Specially designed for bus air-conditioning
  • Exceptional operational safety with loosely guided annular disc packs
  • Working valves made of high-quality, impact-resistant spring steel
  • Resilient and reliable under constant speed and pressure fluctuations, as well as exposure to liquids
  • Lightweight, aluminum valve plate for weight optimization


N valve plate advantages:

  • Worldwide proven valve design with reed lamellas clamped on one side
  • High-quality, impact-resistant spring steel valves
  • Suitable for universal use in mobile applications
  • Cost-effective and simpler alternative to the K version
  • Valve base plate made of steel
