- FAQs
Before defining a semi-hermetic compressor, it may be wise to first define the hermetic compressor. This is a style of compressor that's widely used in manufacturing and industrial applications. The word "hermetic" refers to an airtight seal, which means the hermetic kind of compressor typically has its casing welded shut. The engine motor and compressor are encased within a steel shell. This way, the compressor is completely separated from its external environment.
The semi-hermetic type has a design that allows businesses to open the casing for diagnosis, inspection, or maintenance. It's fully protected from the environment, but the internal valves and compressor motor can still be accessed because it's fastened by screws rather than a fully hermetic seal.
The term "hermetic" indicates an airtight seal. If compressor technology is considered non-hermetic, then it indicates the lack of a seal. The setup will typically have no casing whatsoever.
No. Open compressors do not have any protective outer shell or case to house the electric motor and compressor itself. This allows air or pressure to escape. While it is easier to maintain because of its open design, it is also open to dirt, chemicals, and other debris because it doesn't have any housing.
Some of the main advantages of the semi-hermetic type of compressor include the compact design, the efficient compression process, high performance, and energy efficiency. This machine is also reliable and flexible. Thanks to the metal case and design, these compressors are less prone to damage caused by moisture or dust while still allowing easy maintenance. The hermetic seal even prevents refrigerant leaks and maintains its efficiency over time. This type of machine consumes less energy but is still flexible in terms of capacity and control. There are adjustable control mechanisms that allow businesses to easily adapt the compressor's output to meet the needs of their desired system. Semi-hermetic compressors are also compatible with various types of refrigerants. They'll improve the overall performance of your refrigeration or air conditioning system.
