Eurocool invited suppliers to share in the launch of the Bitzer
Bonanza promotion.
Johannes de Bruin, application engineer at Bitzer.
uests witnessed the technology of the Bitzer Ecoline
semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor. The compressor
was installed in their Ecostar condensing unit and was running
throughout the evening.
The Ecoline series is optimised especially for R134a, offering
favourable characteristics for medium temperature and heat
pump applications. This includes extra high efficiency, moderate
pressure levels with reduced leakage rates, and the lowest GWP
value of all non-flammable HFC refrigerants. Johannes de Bruin,
application engineer at Bitzer broke down the properties and
efficiencies of the unit.
According to Bitzer, studies have demonstrated that for
supermarket applications a hybrid version with R134a for medium
temperature applications in cascade with CO 2 low temperature
applications offers an advantageous ecological efficiency as well
as a low energy demand. More models have been added to the
series and it has been further developed for universal use with
different refrigerants at an extended application range.
The coefficient of performance (COP) of the Ecoline models
could be improved by up to 12% compared to previous series.
“This is achieved by further optimised valve plates, reduced flow
losses and discharge gas pulsations, as well as specially adapted
highly efficient motors,” he says. He then shared a video with the
audience that looked at the compressor’s functionality.
Randburg branch manager, Preston Govender, announced
that Eurocool is running a promotion with the Bitzer compressor.
“The Bitzer Bonanza is a promotion where two customers can
win a one-week excursion to Germany in October this year.
The trip entails return flights to Nuremberg, Germany, hotel
accommodation and one meal a day, a return high speed train
ride (travelling at 300km per hour) from Nuremburg to Leipzig to
visit one of the Bitzer factories, and lastly, a visit to the Chillventa
international exhibition in Nuremburg for three days.”
The promotion runs until July, with one Bitzer compressor
giving buyers a ticket to the draw. Should a customer have not
bought a Bitzer Compressor from Eurocool from January 2019
to December 2019 and you buy one Bitzer in the Bitzer Bonanza
promotion period, you will qualify for two tickets in the lucky
draw. RACA
