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—and 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

MCW has proven expertise supporting inverter-driven compressors used in:

Heat pump systems
Air conditioning systems
Refrigeration and cooling plant

We understand the operational demands of these applications, including part-load performance, pressure control, temperature stability, and seasonal efficiency requirements.

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
