Low Temperature Pump Parallel Screw Compressor Unit Introduction

The FST pump-fed parallel screw compressor unit is designed to provide a centralized low-temperature refrigeration source for IQF freezers, blast freezers and cold-storage facilities.

This industrial refrigeration unit combines two screw compressors, a refrigerant circulation arrangement, oil cooling, electrical controls and system protection components on a coordinated equipment platform.

The parallel compressor configuration allows the refrigeration system to respond to changing cooling loads. Both compressors can operate when the IQF freezer requires full refrigeration capacity, while reduced-capacity operation can be used when the system load decreases.

The unit is suitable for supplying low-temperature refrigeration to:

  • Spiral freezers

  • Tunnel freezers

  • Fluidized IQF freezers

  • Impingement freezers

  • Blast freezers

  • Frozen-food cold rooms

  • Low-temperature processing rooms

The final compressor quantity, refrigeration capacity and refrigerant circulation design should be calculated according to the connected freezer load, production hours and required evaporation temperature.

Compressor Unit Technical Parameters

The technical specifications below outline the precise engineering metrics of the PSHL-125-40p system. With a theoretical displacement of 495m3/h per set at 60HZ, the unit moves refrigerant with exceptional volume and speed. The integration of a liquid cooling oil cooler ensures that the compressor lubricant maintains optimal viscosity, even during continuous operation at the -40℃ design condition. Weighing approximately 2700 kg, the physical mass of the unit anchors it firmly to the ground, eliminating micro-vibrations and ensuring long-term structural integrity for years of continuous service.

Choose screw compressor 2set:HSN8571-125-40P. This strategic dual-setup ensures that if one circuit requires scheduled maintenance, the secondary unit can maintain baseline temperatures, actively preventing product loss and ensuring continuous facility operation.

2. Evaporative condenser

Type:ZFLA-1200 evaporative condenser. This specific condenser model is selected for its superior heat rejection capabilities. The heavy-gauge galvanized casing resists environmental corrosion, while the optimized fan blades deliver a high-volume, low-decibel airflow. This rapid and consistent heat dissipation is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the entire refrigeration cycle.

3. Electrical control system

Main electrical elements are Schneider. The control panel features a highly responsive PLC system that automates strict temperature regulation and smart start/stop sequences. Operators interact with a clear, tactile interface that provides instant digital readouts. Furthermore, the system integrates multiple safety protocols, including high/low pressure alerts, motor overload protection, phase loss detection, and oil temperature/level warnings, ensuring absolute operational safety under the most demanding conditions.

Key Features

Dual Bitzer Screw Compressor Configuration

The refrigeration unit uses two Bitzer HSN8571-125-40P screw compressors connected in parallel.

The dual-compressor arrangement provides a larger combined refrigeration capacity than a single-compressor system and allows the control system to coordinate compressor operation according to the cooling demand.

Each compressor has a listed theoretical displacement of 495 m³/h at 60 Hz.

186 kW Reference Refrigeration Capacity

The listed refrigeration capacity is 186 kW at the design condition of -40°C evaporating temperature and +40°C condensing temperature.

This capacity is a reference value for the published system configuration. Actual performance changes with:

  • Evaporating temperature

  • Condensing temperature

  • Refrigerant

  • Compressor frequency

  • Suction conditions

  • Liquid supply condition

  • Connected evaporator load

  • Ambient operating conditions

The final refrigeration capacity should be confirmed through project-specific calculations.

Pump-Fed Liquid Supply

The refrigeration system uses a full-liquid or pump-fed supply arrangement to deliver refrigerant to the connected evaporators.

This configuration is intended for low-temperature freezing applications requiring stable refrigerant circulation across one or more evaporator circuits.

The liquid circulation system should be selected according to:

  • Evaporator height

  • Refrigerant flow rate

  • Piping distance

  • Number of connected evaporators

  • System pressure

  • Required recirculation ratio

  • Freezer operating schedule

Parallel Capacity Control

The listed energy-adjustment stages are:

  • 100%

  • 75%

  • 50%

Capacity control allows the refrigeration output to be adjusted when the production load changes.

For example, the required load may decrease during:

  • Production startup

  • Product changeover

  • Partial line operation

  • Reduced freezer throughput

  • Cold-room temperature holding

  • Defrosting of one connected evaporator

The final control sequence should be configured according to the number of compressors and the connected refrigeration loads.

Low-Temperature Operation

The compressor unit is designed around a low-temperature operating condition of -40°C evaporation and +40°C condensation.

This operating range is suitable for industrial freezing equipment requiring a low evaporating temperature to maintain the freezer chamber and product-freezing conditions.

Liquid-Cooled Oil System

The published configuration uses liquid cooling for the compressor oil cooler.

Oil-temperature control supports screw compressor operation under low-temperature and high-compression-ratio conditions.

The oil-cooling circuit, refrigerant flow and control components should be coordinated with the complete refrigeration-system design.

Refrigeration Applications

IQF Freezers

The compressor system can supply refrigeration to continuous IQF equipment used for meat, poultry, seafood, dumplings, vegetables and prepared foods.

The refrigeration capacity should be matched to:

  • Product heat load

  • Freezer fan heat

  • Conveyor heat

  • Air infiltration

  • Defrost frequency

  • Daily production hours

Spiral Freezers

The unit can be connected to spiral freezers requiring continuous low-temperature refrigeration and stable operation over long production shifts.

The compressor capacity should be selected according to the freezer throughput and product inlet temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Straight tunnel freezers can use the system as a centralized cold source.

Refrigerant piping, evaporator pressure drop and liquid-return conditions should be confirmed according to the tunnel length and evaporator arrangement.

Blast Freezers

The low-temperature compressor unit can support blast freezing rooms used for batch freezing of food products.

Blast-freezer capacity should be calculated from the total product weight, freezing cycle and room heat load.

Cold Storage

The existing product description states that the system can serve both quick-freezing equipment and cold-storage facilities.

When one refrigeration system supplies multiple loads, the controls and refrigerant circuits should be designed to maintain the required temperature for each evaporator.
