CS PRO series for process heating and district heating networks (R600a)

CS PRO SERIES FOR PROCESS HEATING AND DISTRICT HEATING NETWORKS (R600A)

Etalase : BITZER SCREW COMPRESSORS SEMI HERMETIC, COMPACT

The compact screw compressors in this CS PRO design are specially designed to operate with the natural, low-GWP refrigerant isobutane (R600a). Isobutane is a hydrocarbon that is exceptionally well suited to heat pump applications. These models were developed for process heating systems and district heating networks and allow for liquid outlet temperatures of up to around +95°C. The CS PRO series differs from the standard CS series due to its special electrical accessories, oil charge, safety devices and internal lubrication system.
An enhanced compressor protection device (SE-i1) protects the compressor while operating parameters, such as pressures and temperatures, are monitored and recorded in real time.
As isobutane is a flammable refrigerant in the A3 safety class, these compressors are only available to OEM contractors who have experience working with flammable refrigerants.


Refrigerant

  • Natural hydrocarbon refrigerant isobutane (R600a) with low global warming potential
    • A3 safety class (flammable)

Product range

  • 17 models from 197 to 1120 m³/h at 50 Hz

General applications

  • Process heating and district heating applications with liquid outlet temperatures of up to around +95°C
  • Large-scale commercial and industrial heat pumps

Special requirements

  • Upon request, the CS PRO series can be supplied in a range of ATEX designs for installation in zones with explosion protection requirements.

Certifications

  • CE
  • Classification: ‘No sources of ignition in normal operation’
    • In normal operation with no faults, the product and its components contain no sources of ignition that could ignite class A3 flammable refrigerants from Group IIA under IEC 60079.
  • Classification: ‘Durably technically tight’
    • The product has increased tightness pursuant to EN 1127-1 and is therefore considered durably technically tight.
    • If the product contains flammable gases, this classification means that no ATEX zone has to be assumed around the component.
  • EAC
