Hanbell RC2 Screw Compressor

Introduction
With its small footprint, the Hanbell Screw Compressor
provides an efficient means of compressing refrigerant in
larger applications.

The RC2 model has a wide operating envelope, designed

to cover low, medium and high temperature applications
using R134a and other refrigerants. With very few moving
parts, the Hanbell Screw Compressor offers excellent
reliability and is a quieter than other alternatives

Operating at 2800 rpm, the Hanbell Screw is more

cost effective than larger reciprocating semi-hermetic
compressors. It offers higher operating efficiencies,
compared to reciprocating or scroll compressor
technologies.

A highly efficient motor allows optimum output, no

matter what running capacity the compressor is set at.
This results in a high displacement of refrigerant, energy
efficiency and lower running costs. Hanbell uses long life
bearings for higher levels of reliability.

The Hanbell Range offers:

Fewer vibrations result in less noise

Fewer moving parts than in reciprocating compressors
Easy maintenance
High operating COP
Low operating noise
