An oil-free compressor with a 400-ton/1,400-kW nominal capacity rating received the Product of the Year Award at the 2022 AHR Expo in Las Vegas. The variable-speed, magnetic-bearing centrifugal compressor utilizes a hybrid compression design that is optimized for use with low-GWP refrigerant R-1233zd.
