Reciprocating Compressor Packages

Profile of Excellence

M&M Refrigeration/Sabroe reciprocating compressors are all heavy duty compressors designed for the toughest industrial and marine applications. Suitable for most refrigerants, including HCFC, HFC, hydrocarbons, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, they are well-proven, safe, and reliable. The basic design concept was introduced in 1954. All subsequent design improvements are compatible with early compressor models — a feature which ensures that older compressors can be upgraded to the latest design with improved efficiency.

This process of continuous research and development has resulted in a product line which is superior to any competitor in the market with regard to:

compressor range
flexibility
reliability
operating efficiency
environmental safety
operating safety
maintenance

 

Quality and Reliability In Each Step

Casing, covers, crankshaft, connecting rods, and
cylinder liners manufactured at Sabroe’s own Meehanite foundries to ensure full process control
Casing in grey cast iron quality GG25 (nodular ductile cast iron quality GGG50 for 580 psi high pressure compressors)
Crankshaft in nodular ductile cast iron quality GGG70
Design pressure: 370 psi for standard single and two stage compressors / 580 and 725 psi for high pressure compressors
Compact modern industrial design with integrated suction and discharge manifolds
Resistant to minor slugs of oil and refrigerants due to robust construction including spring loaded safety heads
Oversized suction filters for protection of vital parts in the compressor

Reliable lubrication ensured at all conditions through

Reduced cylinder and piston wear

oversized connecting rod bearings and
piston pin bearing
  efficient oil filtering
  lightweight pistons of special design and material
Reduced cylinder and piston wear
cylinder liners with nitrited hardening of
surface (Ni-temper)
  hard chromium piston rings
  lightweight pistons of special design and material
Gas dampened discharge valves ensure long life
Stop valves with non-rising spindle in stainless steel
for long life and trouble-free operation
External oil filter
Water cooled heads removable without opening the refrigerant side of the compressor

 


Operating Efficiency and Safety

Easy operation due to the comprehensive standard equipment such as:
suction and discharge stop valves
  electric immersion heater
  oil charging valve
  evacuating valve
  valve for prelubricating of bearings after a long standstill period
  oil level sight glass
  high, low, and oil pressure gauges
High COP and excellent part load characteristics for reduced operating costs
Automatic capacity regulation
Fully unloaded start
Guaranteed ratings according to ISO 916
Low oil carry over due to highly efficient oil separation
Oil separators are constructed according to current ASME codes
Low noise and vibration level
Internal by-pass valve to avoid excessive pressure
Safety switches to stop compressor in cases of excessive pressure and temperature, including:
high and low pressure switch
  oil pressure differential switch
  discharge and oil temperature switch
Asbestos free gaskets
Balanced refrigerant tight shaft seal
Low demand for spares
Easy maintenance due to good accessibility
Totally field repairable

These qualities have convinced our customers that M&M Refrigeration/Sabroe reciprocating compressors are second to none.
