5H

Open-Drive
Reciprocating Compressor

25 to 150 Nominal HP
156 to 588 Nominal m³/h
92 to 346 Nominal cfm

  • Versatile and reliable performer for comfort or refrigeration.
  • Belt- or direct drive.
  • Compatible with R-134a, R-404A, R-407C refrigerants.

Suitable for air conditioning or refrigeration applications, belt drive or direct drive, purchase the bare compressor and build up your own system, or let Carrier build a complete marine condensing unit for you.

Features

  • Automatic unloaded starting, expensive high-torque motors are unnecessary, reducing initial expense.
  • High-efficiency motor can further increase efficiency of 5F and 5H compressors.
  • Crankcase casting, cylinder head, and valve plate designs allow for a smooth, unrestricted refrigerant flow.
  • Refined, two-piece shaft seal assembly virtually eliminates seal leakage for maximum reliability over a wide temperature range.
  • Efficient crankcase heater design prevents accumulation of liquid refrigerant in the crankcase during shutdown, dilution of the compressor oil supply.
  • As suction pressure changes, capacity control automatically reduces compressor capacity to as low as 35% of full-design load, reducing horsepower requirements as demand changes. Part-load operation increases energy efficiency, reducing utility bills.
  • Large-capacity, manually reversible oil pump, automatic pressure regulator, and oil-filtering system provide positive pressure lubrication, extending life.
  • Suction gases flow around cylinder sleeve to keep the cylinder cool, reducing cylinder wear.
  • Greater operating efficiencies by running an over sized compressor at a reduced RPM.
