Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the technical specifications and features of the SERIE 180-300 kW reciprocating refrigerant compressors, compatible with R22 and R134a refrigerants, operating at 1450 and 1750 rpm, and covering a capacity range from 180 to 300 kW.
Key Benefits: These compressors offer high performance due to volumetric and compression efficiency, reliability with low operational costs, quiet operation, component interchangeability for easy maintenance, and automatic capacity control for efficient operation.
Technical Features:
  • Casting: High-tensile cast iron with stress-relieving treatment.
  • Crankshaft: Forged steel, balanced for stability.
  • Capacity Control: Oil pressure activated system with solenoid valves for cylinder unloading.
  • Lubrication: External reversible oil pump supplies oil to critical components.
  • Pistons and Connecting Rods: Heat-treated aluminum alloy.
  • Valves: Swedish steel ring type for suction and discharge.
  • Safety Valve: Protects against high compression ratios, set at 8 bar.
Delivery and Accessories: Compressors can be customized with various capacity control steps. Standard accessories include suction and discharge shut-off valves, with optional accessories like anti-vibration dampers and liquid injection kits.
Refrigerants and Lubricants: Compatible with HCFC (R22) and HFC (R134a) refrigerants. POE oils are recommended with HFC refrigerants due to hygroscopicity, and a crankcase heater prevents refrigerant dilution in oil during standstill.
Technical Data: Models range from ORC-F-188 to ORC-F-300, with detailed specifications on displacement, weight, oil charge, etc.
Technical Drawings: Diagrams for models ORC-F-264, ORC-F-300, ORC-F-188, and ORC-F-226 are included, with a key for component identification.
Specifications and Connections: Pressure and oil connections are specified with sizes such as 1/4” S.A.E. - FLARE and 1/4” NPT for various components. Low pressure connections are specified as 1/8” NPT.
Performance Data for R22: Performance data for models ORC-F-188, ORC-F-226, ORC-F-264, ORC-F-300 is provided, detailing cooling capacity and input power based on 1450 rpm. Specific conditions may require additional cooling via liquid injection.
Application Limits for R22: Defined for different models, indicating the need for additional cooling under certain conditions, based on a 10K suction gas superheat.
Performance Data for R134a: Similar performance data is provided for R134a, with parameters like cooling capacity and input power detailed for various temperatures, also based on 1450 rpm.
Application Limits for R134a: Outlined with similar conditions for additional cooling requirements as R22, considering a 10K suction gas superheat.
General Notes: Data is subject to change without notice, and for different working conditions, the RefComp LEONARDO selection program should be consulted.

EXTENT OF DELIVERY FORNITURA Capacity control The OF series compressors may be delivered together with a certain number of capacity control steps according to the following logic. The capacity control consists of a capacity control system which controls compressor capacity by activation an unloading mechanism set on cylinders. It is oil pressure activated through solenoid valves (externally mounted) witch turn on and off the oil pressure supply to load or unload the cylinders in response to an external thermostat (provided by others). Compressor always starts at minimum capacity, meaning that...

EXTENT OF DELIVERY FORNITURA “HFC” refrigerants & “POE” lubricants The compressors can operate with both HCFC (R22 chlorinated refrigerant) and HFC (R134a chlorine-free refrigerant). Only the charged lubricant varies according to the refrigerant type. Polyol ester oils (POE) are recommended with chlorinefree refrigerants (HFC). However, the high degree of hygroscopicity of the POE oils demands for particular cautions: these oils must not come in contact with air and the moisture content in the circuit has to be maintained, as a general rule, under 50 ppm. I compressori sono costruiti in versione...
