450-XL The 450XL compressor is so versatile it can handle almost any refrigeration system condition. The complete line of 450XL compressors is comprised of six models ranging from a nominal 25-ton 2-cylinder machine all the way to the 200-ton 16-cylinder model. Other offerings include 4, 6, 8 and 12-cylinder mid-size units. All 450XL compressors run at a maximum of 1200 RPM, and all are provided with built-in capacity reduction steps for economical operation at reduced loads.
Rated Conditions of 10F Evaporators and 95F Condensing
View Features Top End
Suction and discharge porting achieves minimum pressure drop with valve plates
Spring loaded safety heads relieve internal cylinder pressure if subjected to an incompressible fluid
Three compression rings and a single, special oil scraper ring for keeping oil consumption to a minimum
Piston and Connecting Rod
Piston and connecting rod assembly allows for movement only between the connecting rod bushing and piston pin
Rod bearings specially designed to supply lubrication to the piston pin bushing at all times
Crankcase
Double tapered roller bearings enable the compressor to be used for high suction pressure applications
Double bellows shaft seal assembly consists of two opposed seals – one sealing from the atmosphere and the other from the crankcase
Tri-Micro™ Oil Filter
Allows full flow of oil at all times, resulting in reduced wear on compressor components
Enclosed in a seamless drawn carbon steel shell with cast iron cover
Removes 95% of contaminants as small as 3 microns in size, with the convenience of a throw-away recharge element
Modular Refrigeration Unit (MRU)
Used for retrofits, expansions, or new construction
Eliminates the need for central machine rooms that take up valuable space for operations
Arrives factory assembled with tested components for easy field rigging and installation
Cascade system requires less than 100 pounds of NH3 per refrigeration circuit
Entire structure is certified for seismic events and hurricane force winds
View Features Evaporator
Two separate coils and sets of fans housed within a separate penthouse enclosure
Evaporator room attaches directly to the engine room with minimal effort
CO2 compressors provide hot gas to defrosts the coils, keeping NH3 out of the cold space
Engine Room
One standard size engine room for all capacities
Separated, parallel NH3 skids allow for ease of maintenance
CO2 skid contains and number of Vilter and Emerson CO2 components
Condenser
Air cooled condensers eliminate water and sewer costs (For the warmer climates, adiabatic condensers can also be supplied)
For applications requiring multiple units, a large fluid cooler design (such as glycol) can be utilized with plate style ammonia condensers
VSS
Better energy efficiency than twin screw compressors
Balanced design results in ultra-low bearing loads with significantly decreased vibration and sound levels
Pre-engineered standard designs, resulting in faster lead times
View Features Parallex™ Slide System
Part load efficiencies which are far superior to twin screw compressors
Capacity and volume slides (with an expanded volume ratio of 1.2 to 7.0) move independently of each other based on load
Eliminates over/under compression and saving energy costs
Vission 20/20 Control
Reliable operation
Enhanced communications
Easy to use
Flexible and expandable
Ultra Fine Oil Filter
Maximum filtration without flow restriction for extended bearing life
Longer maintenance interval
Optional Oil Pump
For units needing constant oil pressure, such as booster, swing and low pressure differential applications
Positioned conveniently for the service technicians and field operators
