Scroll compressors offer superior performance in nearly all air conditioning and refrigeration applications.  Daikin’s 20 year history in the manufacture of scroll compressors, manufacturing over 1.2 million compressors every year means they can bring their expertise in this area to the container refrigeration industry.  Daikin is the number one supplier of scroll reefer machines since 2003.

Scroll Compressors have already been adopted in the majority of air conditioning and refrigeration applications due to their superior performance compared with alternative technologies

Daikin has been designing and manufacturing scroll compressors for over 20 years.  The company is one of the largest producers of scroll compressors in the world today, manufacturing over 1.2 million compressors ever year for a wide variety of refrigeration and air conditioning products.

The scroll compressor used in the LXE10E machine was developed specifically for container applications, drawing on Daikin’s extensive technological expertise, it is the only manufacturer of container refrigeration machinery that can offer this level of experience and expertise in scroll compressor technology.Daikin is the only manufacturer of container refrigeration machinery that can offer this level of experience and expertise in scroll compressor technology. Advanced design features that ensure the best performance from the LXE10E scroll compressor include:

This is reflected in real benefits to the refrigeration industry: 

• Higher Reliability as a result of:
  • Fewer components
  • Easier to manufacture
  • High durability against shock and vibration
  • Anti corrosive two-coat paint system to protect the compressor against severe environmental conditions.
• Lower power consumption (more details overleaf)
• Greater cooling Capacity
• Higher co-efficient of performance (COP +10%)
• Lower weight (-50%)
• Lower Noise Levels 

Proper distribution of suction gas

The compressor uses a rolling bearing for the upper main bearing and a sliding bearing for the orbiting scroll drive. This combination ensures an ideal oil supply, regardless of the condition of the suction gas.

Highly efficient Trochoidal pump

A stable oil supply for the scroll is guaranteed by the use of a highly efficient Trochoid pump.

Anti-corrosive paint

Reefer boxes and machines are subjected to severe environmental conditions and it is crucial that the paint on the compressor body is of extreme durability. To ensure maximum protection against corrosion and the effects of UV light, the LXE10E scroll compressor is treated with a two-coat paint system:

• Undercoat: epoxy zinc
• Topcoat: Micaceous iron oxide (MIO)

Wide operation range

• Extended scroll wrap and adoption of gas injection system
• High durability against shock and vibration
