Yes, or we can remanufacture it to the original manufacturer’s specifications. We also stock all makes and models of new compressors.
A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.
Compressors of different types are widely used in the cooling systems designed for the refrigeration or chilling of food, as well as “conditioning” the air in buildings.
A screw or rotary compressor is a type of gas compressor which is commonly used to replace piston compressors where large volumes of high pressure air are needed.
A hermetic compressor uses a one-piece welded steel casing that cannot be opened for repair, except by an expert. If it fails, it usually has to be replaced with an entire new unit.
A semi-hermetic compressor uses a large cast metal shell with gasketed covers that can be opened to replace motor and pump components.
