Refrigeration Compressors - Refrigeration and HVAC
Marine refrigeration and HVAC compressors provide the compression stage in shipboard chilled-water, provision refrigeration, air-conditioning, cold-storage and reefer systems. Common designs include reciprocating, scroll and screw compressors, selected for the refrigerant, capacity, power supply and vessel operating conditions.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Refrigeration Compressors for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements may include EN 12900 for compressor rating, EN 378 and ISO 5149 for refrigerating systems and safety, AHRI 540 for compressor performance rating, and IEC 60092 requirements for electrical installations in ships. Exact compliance depends on the complete equipment and refrigerant. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Classification approval is generally applied to the complete refrigeration or HVAC installation rather than universally to every compressor. Depending on vessel notation and project requirements, review may involve DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK or RINA. Confirm the specific compressor and plant approval certificate. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install according to the manufacturer manual and approved vessel drawings. Confirm refrigerant, oil, electrical supply, rotation or phase sequence, mounting, vibration isolation, piping cleanliness, oil-return arrangement and service-valve accessibility. Evacuate and leak-test the system before charging. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Monitor suction and discharge pressures, operating temperatures, current draw, oil level and abnormal vibration or noise. Inspect electrical terminals, crankcase heater, safety controls, condenser performance and refrigerant leakage. Replace oil, filters and wear components at intervals specified by the manufacturer. |
| Safety Notes | Only qualified refrigeration personnel should install or service the compressor. Isolate and lock out electrical power, recover refrigerant before opening the circuit, ventilate enclosed spaces and use the specified refrigerant and oil. Wear eye and hand protection and never bypass pressure or thermal safety controls. |
