Product details
Maneurop Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor | MT28-5VI | 1-Phase | R22
Product Description: The MT28-5VI (part of the MT series) is engineered to provide consistent performance in demanding environments. Designed for use with R22 refrigerant and 160P Mineral Oil, it is widely used as a replacement or primary compressor in UAE-based cooling systems that maintain the R22 standard. The “-5VI” designation indicates it is a 230V Single Phase (50Hz) model, making it ideal for smaller commercial establishments, retail chillers, and residential-scale cold rooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With the signature Maneurop large internal volume, this compressor offers superior resistance to liquid slugging and is cooled 100% by suction gas to ensure the motor survives the intense Middle Eastern heat.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Robust “Blue” Design: Known for having one of the longest lifespans in the industry due to heavy-duty internal components.
- Superior Liquid Handling: The large internal shell volume prevents liquid refrigerant from reaching the pistons, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
- High-Ambient Performance: Engineered to maintain efficiency even when ambient temperatures in the UAE exceed 45°C.
- Rotolock Valves: Features easy-to-service Rotolock suction and discharge connections, allowing for faster field replacements in Dubai and Sharjah.
- Mineral Oil Charged: Pre-filled with 160P Mineral oil, specifically formulated for optimal lubrication with R22 refrigerant.

FAQs:
- Q: Can I use this MT28 compressor with R404A refrigerant?
- A: No. This model uses Mineral Oil for R22. If you are using R404A or R134a, you must select the MTZ28 model which contains POE oil.
- Q: What size cold room is this suitable for in the UAE?
- A: The MT28 is typically used for medium-sized walk-in chillers or large display refrigerators found in supermarkets across the Emirates.
- Q: Does it require a start capacitor?
- A: Yes, as a single-phase (5VM/5VI) motor, it requires a start and run capacitor kit to ensure it can start effectively against system pressure.
