Danfoss SM160T4RC Scroll Compressor | 13 HP

Product Description:

The Danfoss SM160T4RC (the primary after-sale replacement for the SM160-4RAI series) is engineered for high-tonnage commercial and industrial HVAC applications. Optimized for R22 refrigerant and mineral oil, this 13 HP unit is widely used in large air-cooled chillers and rooftop packages across the UAE. The “R” version is specifically equipped with an oil equalization port, making it the ideal choice for tandem or trio configurations where balanced lubrication is critical for system longevity. Built to thrive under the extreme high-ambient temperatures of the Middle East, the SM160T4RC features a robust motor design and precision-machined scrolls, ensuring maximum volumetric efficiency and stable operation for large-scale infrastructure.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Powerful 13 HP Performance: Designed to meet the high cooling demands of large commercial complexes and industrial sites.
• Oil Equalization Capability: Essential for manifold (parallel) systems to ensure consistent oil levels across multiple compressors.
• Extreme Heat Resilience: Engineered to maintain peak efficiency even when ambient temperatures exceed 50°C in the UAE.
• Reliable R22 Optimization: Built for seamless compatibility with mineral oil (160P) in existing R22 cooling circuits.
• Enhanced Internal Protection: Includes advanced motor safeguards against thermal overload and electrical phase issues common in heavy-duty cycles.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the SM160T4RC a direct swap for the SM160-4RAI?
• A: Yes, it is the designated technical replacement, featuring the same footprint and oil equalization port for professional service.
• Q: Why is the oil equalization port important?
• A: In large systems with multiple compressors, it prevents one unit from running out of oil, which is a common cause of failure in high-load UAE conditions.
• Q: Can this unit be used with R407C?
• A: No. This model uses mineral oil for R22. For R407C, you must use the SZ series with POE oil.
