Application guidelines Danfoss scroll compression principle In a Danfoss SM / SY / SZ scroll compressor, the compression is performed by two scroll elements located in the upper part of the compressor. Suction gas enters the compressor at the suction connection.
In addition to the existing SM range compressors Part protection and assembly reduces internal leaks and increases life durability. previously available, Danfoss is completing its range with 3 compressors. Improved part isolation reduces greatly acoustic The new SM112-124-147 and SZ147 compressors levels.
