At the heart of every refrigeration system, you’ll find a compressor. This compressor can be built into individual condensing units or more than one refrigeration rack system to pressurize the refrigerant and increase the refrigerant temperature before the refrigerant moves to the heat exchanger to reject the heat absorbed from the cold room.
In simpler terms, the compressor is the only moving component in the refrigeration system, forcing the cooling medium around the refrigeration circuit.
Being a German company, Bock focuses on all the critical aspects of what mechanical machinery should possess in its product development process and has remained true to this ideology for the past over 80 years.
Bock specializes in semi hermetic reciprocating compressors (the most used compressors for cold rooms) for different commercial, industrial, rail, bus and transport refrigeration requirements.
Let’s examine the advantages of using a Bock compressor for cold room owners.
Reliable Performance
Where there is a reliable compressor, there will be a durable cold room system.
Cold rooms will require continuous and reliable operation to preserve the quality and freshness of stored products. Bock compressors are built with quality materials and have undergone rigorous testing to withstand the demanding circumstances of a cold room environment and long-term usage.
Bock’s entire range of compressors features a mechanical oil pump to ensure consistent lubrication for extended, lasting usage for years and even decades. This is not the case for most other European compressor manufacturers!
Low Sound Levels
Bock compressors are designed to minimize disturbance in a cold room’s surrounding environment and operate with low noise and vibration levels.
This is essential for cold rooms in or tight working spaces like commercial kitchens or storage areas. You won’t want to work in a noisy environment!
Wide Capacity Range
Bock compressors are available in various capacities, allowing the flexibility of cold room design and sizing. Whether you have a small walk-in cold room or a large industry-scale cold storage facility, there are Bock compressors to match your specific cooling requirements, regardless of the size.
Compatible With Different Refrigerants
Refrigerants commonly used in cold room applications are R507, R404A, and ammonia (R717). Bock compressors are designed to be compatible with different refrigerants for the best cold room efficiency.
This flexibility also enables cold room owners to select the refrigerants that best suit their performance, environmental impact, and regulation needs.
Energy Efficient
Like many business decisions, cold room owners consider the factor of costs at the back of their minds.
Bock compressors are designed to be energy-efficient, ultimately leading to cost savings for cold room operations. When less energy is used to achieve the desired cooling, energy consumption and expenses are also reduced, thanks to energy-efficient engineering!
Think Green, Choose Blue
With constant climate change and rising temperatures taking over, 15% of the world’s electricity consumption is already used for refrigeration and air conditioning. The way we deal with cold will, therefore, become increasingly important.
Bock has been developing compressors for the natural refrigerant CO2 (R744) since 1993. Hence, the Bock compressor range for hydrocarbons (HC) has the best reputation worldwide. In the synthetic refrigerant sector, most of their expertise is invested in further developing compressors with low-GWP refrigerants to stay true to the motto “Think green – choose blue”.
