Compressors, Air Conditioning, & Heat Pumps
Expert Inverter Sizing for Compressors
At The Motor Control Warehouse (MCW), we have extensive experience in accurately sizing inverters (VSDs/VFDs) for a wide range of compressor technologies across industrial and commercial applications.
Correct inverter selection is critical to reliability, efficiency and long-term performance. This is where MCW adds real value.
Compressor Types We Support
Our team regularly sizes and supports inverters for the following compressor types:
- Rotary screw compressors
- Reciprocating piston compressors
- Rotary vane compressors
- Scroll compressors
- Semi-hermetic compressors
- Semi-hermetic screw compressors
- CO₂ transcritical and subcritical systems
- Compact screw compressors (CS / CSV)
This breadth of experience allows us to account for the unique electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics of each compressor type.
Applications: Heat Pumps & Air Conditioning
Our systems are designed for flexibility, offering seamless integration for both new installations and retrofit projects.
- New installations – fully engineered panels built to suit any heating or cooling fan configuration.
- Retrofits – upgrade existing starter panels with modern VFDs to improve efficiency without replacing the entire fan unit.
We work with all major fan types, including axial, centrifugal, mixed flow, EC conversions and multi-fan systems.
Unlock Significant Energy Savings
Correct inverter sizing and control can deliver substantial energy savings.
In many compressor-driven systems, reducing operating temperature or pressure can result in energy savings of approximately 4% per degree Kelvin (K).
By matching the inverter precisely to the compressor and application, MCW helps you:
- Reduce energy consumption
- Lower operating costs
- Improve system efficiency at part load
- Extend compressor and motor life
Why Choose MCW?
- Deep technical knowledge of compressor technologies
- Application-specific inverter selection
- Experience across refrigeration, HVAC and heat pump markets
- Practical, real-world engineering support
