Duro-Screw Compressor Units

Construction

The WESCOLD Duro-Screw compressor package utilizes a heavy structural base frame arrangement. This arrangement offers superior alignment rigidity and enables the use of any type of electric motor or fuel engine to drive the compressor. It offers one of the smallest footprints and lowest profiles in the industry. All components of the Duro-Screw can be readily accessed from floor level.

Compressor

The WESCOLD Duro-Screw utilizes either Mycom or Howden manufactured helical screw compressors. These two compressors are the proven workhorses of the industry. The large overlapping range of machines built by Mycom and Howden allows our engineers to select a tonnage that will fit your needs exactly.

Versatility

The inherent design of the WESCOLD Duro-Screw enables us to build a configuration that will fit your plant, whether it be a new or retrofit application. The shop can build a single stage, two stage or dual-pac unit on an in-line, L-shaped or remote separator base, all in the same short lead time. Your custom package is our standard design.

Oil Separator

The WESCOLD Duro-Screw uses a vertical oil separator. This design achieves superior oil/refrigerant separation in a compact format. A vertical oil separator has six separation effects: centrifugal force, change in velocity, gravity, change in direction, demister impingement and coalescing. No other type of separator can offer this.

Control Panel

The WESCOLD Duro-Screw control panel comes with a high visibility display for easy viewing. Standard features include a menu driven interface to access control parameters and historical trend logs. To add to the versatility of this package we also offer electro-mechanical, PC or dummy terminal based panels to match your existing control system needs.
