Product details
Maneurop Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor | MT18-4VM | 3-Phase | R22
Product Description:
The MT18-4VM (part of the MT series) is engineered for long-term durability in professional cooling environments. Designed specifically for R22 refrigerant and 160P Mineral Oil, it is the preferred replacement unit for existing refrigeration systems across the Emirates. The “-4VM” designation indicates it operates on a 380-400V 3-Phase (50Hz) power supply, offering the balanced load and high torque required for industrial-grade cooling. Like all Maneurop reciprocating models, it features a 100% suction-gas cooled motor and a massive internal free volume, providing industry-leading protection against liquid slugging—a critical feature for maintaining system uptime during the intense Dubai summers.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Industrial 3-Phase Performance: Provides superior starting torque and electrical efficiency for continuous-duty commercial applications.
- Legendary Liquid Handling: The large internal shell acts as a built-in accumulator, protecting the valves from damage during liquid refrigerant migration.
- High Ambient Resilience: Specifically designed to maintain stable discharge pressures and cooling capacity even when UAE outdoor temperatures soar.
- Rotolock Service Ports: Equipped with Rotolock valves to facilitate fast, clean, and professional installation or replacement without extensive brazing.
- Robust Reciprocating Technology: Features high-precision internal components designed to withstand years of heavy cycling in commercial kitchens and cold stores.

FAQs:
- Q: Can I use R404A with this MT18-4VM compressor?
- A: No. This model is charged with Mineral Oil for R22. For R404A applications, you must use the MTZ18-4VM which is charged with POE oil.
- Q: Is a start capacitor required for this model?
- A: No, 3-phase compressors (4VM) do not require start or run capacitors, making the electrical setup simpler and more reliable than single-phase versions.
- Q: Where is this compressor typically used in the UAE?
- A: It is widely used in medium-temperature walk-in chillers, beverage coolers, and small industrial process chillers in industrial zones like Jebel Ali and Mussafah.
