New Orleans, LA (1888PressRelease)
February 03, 2009 - Southern Compressors, located in Kenner, LA, has just launched a new website as a resource for someone considering remanufacturing their compressors. Replacing refrigeration compressors can potentially be expensive for plant, warehouse and transportation operators especially as temperatures begin to rise in spring and summer time. One alternative to purchasing a new compressor is to remanufacture your current compressor.
Remanufacturing is the process of restoring a used compressor to as a condition that is as close to new as possible. The compressor must be completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected. The integrity of the basic "core" parts - block, shaft, rods etc. - are closely inspected and checked against original equipment manufacturers specifications. They are re-machined to bring them back to specification to return the remanufactured engine to original equipment tolerances.
The new website for Southern Compressors has information on the most common types of compressors that may need replacement:
• Refrigeration Compressors – typically large mechanical units that form the heart of an HVAC system
• Reciprocating Compressors – uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure, these are designed for continuous operation in industrial and commercial applications
• Screw Motors – high efficiency, quiet operation, and compact low-profile design, these pass refrigerant through screw spindles which compress the gas
• Transportation Compressors – refrigerant compressor systems suitable for cold storage transportation applications
• Marine Compressors – cooling systems suitable for seagoing vessels and for the supporting dock and storage systems
• Scroll Compressors – compact and smooth running, no spring suspension, which means small enclosures and reduced overall costs with smaller free volume
Southern Compressors and Supplies has been remanufacturing reciprocating compressors in the greater New Orleans area since 2001. They provide their clients with a full service remanufacturing facility and can provide parts and supplies for all major brands of refrigeration compressors including Carrier, Copeland, Trane, Chrysler, York, Worthington, Dunham Bush and Dan Foss.
