The world’s leader in oil-free compressor technology
Danfoss is the leading manufacturer of oil free compressors and is the pioneer of the Danfoss Turbocor® compressor - the world’s first oil-free magnetic bearing compressor for the HVAC industry.
Danfoss Turbocor® compressors use advanced technology to deliver high efficiency and low sound levels in a compact footprint. Industry leading performance is achieved by using oil free, magnetic bearings that provide world class efficiency and zero performance degradation over the life of the compressor. Permanent magnet motors and variable speed drives provide unmatched full and part load efficiency.
Danfoss Turbocor® oil-free centrifugal compressors have the flexibility to be used in air cooled, water cooled or evaporative cooled chillers operating in wide range of applications such as comfort cooling, low temperature process, ice storage and heat recovery. This flexibility has resulted in over 70,000 compressors installed in jobsites around the world.
Danfoss Turbocor® compressors are manufactured in Tallahassee, Florida and Shanghai, China in a ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified facility. Sales and service centers are located in the USA, Europe and Asia to serve customers around the world.
