Danfoss launches its highest-capacity oil-free compressor

Danfoss has announced the launch of its highest-capacity oil-free compressor yet—bringing the benefits of Danfoss Turbocor magnetic bearing technology to larger water-cooled chillers.

With a nominal capacity rating of 450 tonnes/1,600 kW, the Danfoss Turbocor VTX1600 is well placed to bring efficiency and long-lasting performance to larger applications like hospitals, data centers and university campuses. Multiple configurations, delivering capacities in excess of 3,600 tonnes /12,600 kW, are possible.

The VTX1600 is built around the same Turbocor technology that’s proven so effective in more than 80,000 chillers worldwide—delivering high efficiency, low maintenance, and low noise, with zero performance degradation over the compressor’s life, the manufacturer claims.
