Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SECOP from 3G Electric.
What refrigerants are SECOP compressors compatible with?
SECOP compressors are available for use with several common refrigerants, including R-134A, R-404A, and R-507. The specific refrigerant compatibility is indicated in the model number and product specifications. For example, the SC15CLX.2-2 is designed for R-404A, while the SC15FTX-1 is for R-134A. Always verify the refrigerant type before installation to ensure system compatibility and performance.
What is the cooling capacity range of SECOP reciprocating compressors?
SECOP reciprocating compressors cover a broad cooling capacity range, from as low as 228 BtuH (TL3G-2, 1/10 hp) up to 5,118 BtuH (SC15MLX.2-2, 3/4 hp). This range allows selection for small refrigeration units like compact coolers up to larger commercial display cases. Capacity ratings are based on standard test conditions for the specified refrigerant.
Are SECOP compressors hermetic or open-drive?
All SECOP compressors listed by 3G Electric are hermetic. In a hermetic compressor, the motor and compression mechanism are enclosed in a sealed steel shell. This design eliminates shaft seals, reducing the risk of refrigerant leaks and lowering maintenance requirements compared to open-drive compressors.
What discharge line connection sizes are available for SECOP compressors?
SECOP compressors come with various discharge line connection sizes to match different system piping. Available sizes include 3/16 in, 1/4 in, 5 mm, and 6 1/2 mm. For example, the NF5.5FX-1 uses a 1/4 in connection, while the SC15CLX.2-2 uses a 6 1/2 mm connection. Check the specific model's specifications to ensure proper fit.
Can SECOP compressors be used in low-temperature applications?
Yes, many SECOP compressors are suitable for low-temperature applications, depending on the model and refrigerant. For instance, the SC15CLX.2-2 (R-404A) and NF7CLX-1 (R-404A) are designed for low-temperature operation. Always consult the manufacturer's application guidelines for the specific model to confirm its temperature range.
