Which compressor should I choose: new, used, or remanufactured?

There are models of reefer containers equipped with a two-speed compressor. Its main purpose is to improve protection against voltage fluctuations. A semi-hermetic piston compressor is well suited for reefer container systems. Some models are equipped with special heating elements designed to warm the oil in the crankcase. Certain compressors also include pressure gauges that indicate heating intensity and pressure.

When purchasing a compressor for a refrigerated container, the question arises: which one to choose — used, new, or remanufactured? It should be noted that the compressor is one of the main and most expensive components. That is why the best option is to buy a used compressor from a trusted company. “Global Container Service” sells piston compressors that are technologically advanced and verified. They are affordable, practical, and help save electricity. Used piston compressors are easy to operate and maintain. Any malfunction can be fixed with minimal time and financial expenses.

Remanufactured compressors are assembled at the factory, where old parts are replaced with new ones. Their cost is significantly lower than that of new models. The main task of the compressor is to compress the low-pressure, low-temperature gaseous refrigerant, turning it into high pressure and high temperature. To choose the right compressor, one must understand how it works.

Hermetic sealing is ensured by the compressor shaft. The drive operates through an electromagnetic clutch. When voltage is supplied to its winding, the pulley and the disc rotate synchronously, causing the compressor shaft to move. Thanks to a special oil circulating throughout the system, the compressor performs its function. It usually operates with the R134a refrigerant.

The cost of a new compressor is quite high, but it is fully justified. A compressor with factory-made parts ensures long-lasting and reliable operation of the refrigerated container.

An official one-year warranty is provided. A new compressor can be classified as energy-saving equipment. Air compression is carried out by an electric drive. The optimal application area is supplying pneumatic tools at small and medium-sized enterprises with compressed air.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the most cost-effective option is a remanufactured compressor with new parts and an old housing. Its price is significantly lower than that of a new compressor and slightly higher than that of used compressors.
