Capacities calculated with BITZER Software (version 7.2.1.1, November 2026) with R407C: evaporating 5 °C and condensing 50 °C at dew point, 10 K suction gas superheat, no liquid subcooling (EN 12900), 50 Hz, full load, without economiser. At these conditions, Bitzer specifies additional oil cooling. Maximum current and power: Bitzer catalogue values at 400 V, for selecting contactors, cables and fuses. Effective capacity steps of HS.53 to HS.74 are given by Bitzer at −10 / 45 °C. Horsepower (HP) is calculated from the maximum power consumption given by Bitzer (1 HP = 0.736 kW).
Models available with R407C
With R407C, BITZER Software offers the 13 motor 1 HSK models of the HS.53 to HS.85 series. HS.95 HSK models, up to 1,015 m³/h, and motor 2 versions, optimised for low pressure refrigerants such as R134a and R1234yf, are available for other refrigerants: ask us for a selection.
Key benefits
- Capacity control: by shifting the suction port in two steps on HS.53 to HS.74, by slider, stepless or in 3 steps, on HS.85. Automatic start unloading.
- Frequency inverter: all HS compressors run from 20 to 60 Hz with a matching inverter, to follow the load closely.
- Economiser (ECO): an economiser port increases cooling capacity and efficiency at high pressure ratios.
- Robust design: rotors on roller bearings on both sides, check valve in the discharge chamber, integrated pressure relief valve to EN 12693, electronic compressor protection.
- Simple oil circuit: no oil pump, oil is injected by the pressure difference; external oil separator and air-cooled, water-cooled or thermosyphon oil cooler.
- Other refrigerants: R134a, R513A, R450A, R1234yf, R407A, R407F, R448A, R449A, R452A and R454C, on selection.
Applications
R407C screw water chillers, central air conditioning, screw compressor racks for cold stores and food industry, process cooling and heat pumps. For low temperature, see the Bitzer HSN compressors.
