Product details
Danfoss SM185W4YD Scroll Compressor | 15 HP
Product Description:
The Danfoss SM185W4YD (the advanced after-sale replacement for the SM185-4YCI series) is a high-capacity 15 HP scroll compressor engineered for maximum operational visibility and reliability. Specifically designed for R22 refrigerant, this model is a preferred choice for large-scale rooftop units and chillers across the UAE. The “W” in its model code signifies the inclusion of an oil sight glass, allowing technicians to easily monitor oil levels during maintenance. Built to handle the extreme high-ambient temperatures of the Middle East, the SM185W4YD features robust internal motor protection and a high-efficiency scroll set, ensuring consistent cooling performance and long-term durability for critical commercial infrastructure.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Integrated Oil Sight Glass: Simplifies maintenance by allowing easy visual inspection of oil levels and quality.
- Heavy-Duty 15 HP Capacity: Designed to support large cooling loads in industrial sites and commercial complexes.
- Extreme Weather Tolerance: Specifically engineered to operate reliably in the high-ambient conditions of the UAE.
- Optimized for R22 Systems: Built for seamless integration with mineral oil (160P) in existing R22 cooling circuits.
- Reduced Vibration & Noise: Precision-matched scrolls provide a smooth, quiet operation compared to traditional reciprocating units.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the SM185W4YD a direct replacement for the SM185-4YCI?
- A: Yes, it is the designated technical replacement for the YCI series, offering the same footprint and performance specs.
- Q: What is the benefit of the oil sight glass for UAE users?
- A: Given the high thermal stress in the Gulf, being able to visually confirm oil levels helps prevent compressor failure due to lubrication issues.
- Q: Can I use this with R407C?
- A: No. This model is designed for R22 with mineral oil. For R407C, the SZ series is required.
