With over 30 years in the commercial refrigeration and HVAC markets, Axair Refrigeration are trusted with large contracts, stock holding, and integration of refrigeration compressors to support the business and technical operations of many UK and International original equipment manufacturers.
Rotary hermetic compressors like those manufactured under the Hitachi Highly brand, use the rotating action of a roller inside a cylinder to compress the refrigerant. As they contain less parts than other compression technology types, they provide an efficient alternative for various applications at a more competitive cost than other types of compressors.
HIGHLY is a leader in studying carbon emission reduction and energy-efficiency. All highly rotary compressors are designed to offer high efficiencies.
The simple design offering less moving parts provides a smooth operation and low vibrations.
Reduced vibrations results in lower noise emissions than alternative compressor options.
The compact design of highly compressors offers the ideal space saving solution for commercial refrigeration.
