No matter what type of cooling system you want to install in your industrial or commercial complex, it can only operate as good as the compressor that runs it. The Carlyle compressor is one of the best in the world. It offers superior performance capabilities and some unique characteristics. The company also manufactures both screw and reciprocating compressors.
Carlyle Reciprocating Compressors
A reciprocating compressor is also known as a piston compressor, a name resulting from its major component. Often decried for their noise level, reciprocating compressors are somewhat simple in construction. Pistons operate inside cylinders. Each cylinder has a suction and discharge valve. This produces compression and suction of the refrigerant gas.
The design may be open – part of the crankshaft sticks out of the housing or casing. It may also be hermetic or sealed in the housing or even semi-hermetic an arrangement in which both the compressor and the motor reside in the same casing. Carlyle produces several different models of reciprocating compressors. They are both open and semi-hermetic. The semi hermetic compressor, model 6E was first introduced in the 1960s. Still manufactured today, it is one of several models that include the following:
- 05G
- 05T
- 06CC
- 06D
- 06E
- 06M
The 06M is a variable-frequency reciprocating compressor manufactured by Carlyle Compressor Co. It features several desirable characteristics including less vibration resulting in less noise. Carlyle has always strived to reduce these two levels while producing compressors that save space are service-friendly and energy efficient.
Carlyle Screw Compressors
Screw compressors are a type that, instead of a piston, uses two interlinking screws. These screw or rotors revolve drawing in the liquid causing the space lying between two lobes to fill up. Compression occurs when the fluid is forced into a smaller space. When it reaches the definitive point, the liquid escapes (is discharged) through an outlet.
Carlyle manufactures several popular screw compressors including the Paragon series:
- 06TS
- 06TT
- 06TU
- 06TV
These compressors have a reputation for efficiency, being quiet and are excellent for use in many industrial applications.
The Carlyle Compressor
An ongoing argument in the compressor industry has often focused on what is better: reciprocating or screw compressors for refrigeration or air conditioning applications. While some prefer screw compressors, others support the older reciprocating models. In the end, there is no single right answer. Factors such as application and setting influence the choice. The highest efficiency, lowest operating costs and dependability are also an integral part of the equation. Yet, no matter what your choice, you can always opt for the best – a Carlyle compressor – one that is available in both types.
