World Compressor Market – Update 2022 - RECIPROCATING

In residential and light commercial refrigeration applications, R290 and R600a refrigerants are used to an increasing extent.

Besides R404A and R22, semi-hermetic and open-type reciprocating compressors also commonly use R134a, R407C, and R507A refrigerants.

With the accelerated pace of the F-gas phase-out in Europe, natural refrigerants such as R290 and CO2 have attracted more and more attention in the refrigeration industry. Reciprocating compressors for refrigeration equipment adopting R290, CO2, and ammonia refrigerants have secured a sizeable share of the market.
