Hpo HPC
The Sabroe HPO/HPC range is a unique high-pressure In ammonia heat pump installations, Sabroe HPO/
compressor design. It is widely used in conjunction HPC compressors are often employed to produce hot
with ammonia heat pumps, and has also become very water at temperatures up to 70°C at very low cost.
popular due to the resurgence of the use of CO2 as a For such applications, Sabroe HPO/HPC compressors

Sabroe HPO/HPC compressors are now used in In CO2/ammonia cascade plants, Sabroe HPO/HPC
CO2 /ammonia cascade plants and R410A chillers all over compressors are used on the low-temperature side,
the world. working very efficiently with evaporating temperatures
as low as -55°C. Due to the fact that HPO/HPC
compressors using CO2 feature extremely high
efficiency and capacity, such cascade systems are very
compact and ensure low operating costs.
There are six models covering capacities between 97
and 452 m3/h swept volume at maximum speed, and
with guaranteed ratings for a wide range of different
refrigerants at pressures up to 40 bar for HPC and
50 bar for HPO.
