Maneurop Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor | MTZ18-5VM | R404A/R134a/R407C
Product Description:
The MTZ18-5VM is part of the esteemed Danfoss Maneurop MTZ range, specifically optimized for use with HFC refrigerants such as R404A, R134a, and R407C. In the challenging UAE climate, this compressor excels due to its large internal volume, which offers exceptional tolerance against liquid refrigerant slugging. The “-5VM” version is tailored for 230V Single Phase (50Hz) operation, making it highly compatible with standard commercial power outlets in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. Its 100% suction-gas cooled motor ensures the unit remains cool even under high-load conditions, extending the operational life of the system significantly.

FAQs:
- Q: Can I replace an old MT18 (R22) with this MTZ18?
- A: Yes, the physical dimensions are the same, but you must ensure the system is thoroughly flushed and the expansion valve is compatible with the new HFC refrigerant and POE oil.
- Q: Is this compressor suitable for a small cold room in the UAE?
- A: Yes, it is widely used for small to medium-sized walk-in chillers and beverage cooling systems across the Emirates.
- Q: Does it require a start capacitor?
- A: As a single-phase compressor, it typically requires a start and run capacitor kit (CSR or CSIR) to ensure reliable starting against high head pressures.
