Keeping trains at a pleasant temperature is crucial and Bitzer showcased its compressors that help ensure the trains have exactly the right atmosphere. Its wide range of reciprocating, scroll and screw compressors guarantees unmatched efficiency and reliability. The products are suited for high-speed rail and long-distance trains, commuter, subway and trams. 

Hermetic Screw Compressors VSK

The hermetic compact screws complete the compressor screw programme in the lower capacity spectrum. They are suited for insertion into factory-finished air conditioning units, liquid chiller units and in particular also for the air conditioning of railway carriages.

The space-saving design with integrated oil separator and reservoir enables the simplest installation. With their small height, low weight and very smooth running over a wide speed range, they already meet today the increasing demands of confined roof and under-floor installations.

Hermetic Scroll Compressors ESH, ELH, ELA

The ELH, ELA horizontal hermetic scroll compressors are ideal for applications in rail systems due to their compact design, low height and integrated suction gas-cooled electrical motor. High efficiency and smooth operation are achieved by the patented suction-gas cooled spirals, which create a thermal equilibrium between the rotating and fixed spirals.

Semi-Hermetic Aluminum Scroll Compressors ECH209Y

The ECH209Y is the latest and most advanced semi-hermetic aluminum scroll compressor and it employs EC motor technology. It offers unmatched energy efficiency adn runs incredibly quietly. Compact and light, the compressor also features stepless capacity control. This is achieved via speed adaptation which functions independently of the vehicle's engine. It is well-suited for small compact rail conditioning systems and driver's cab units.

Semi-Hermetic Reciprocating Compressors Ecoline

Compact and robust, these compressors are highly efficient and have very low levels of vibration and noise, making them ideal for rail air conditioning. Special versions meet the defined requirements for rail applications.
