Danfoss DSH485C4APC 40 HP Scroll Compressor (357,202 BTU, R410A/R452B/R454B, 3 Phase 380-460V)

Designed for high capacity and efficiency in commercial air conditioning and heat pump systems, the Danfoss DSH485C4APC is a 40 HP (357,202 BTU/h) hermetic scroll compressor (Danfoss code: 120H1362). In the 40 horsepower nominal class, with 442.6 cm³ displacement and a 3-phase motor, it is intended for large air-cooled chiller and rooftop packaged air conditioning applications. In addition to R410A, it is also compatible with the low-GWP alternative refrigerants R452B and R454B; it is supplied with a POE oil charge.

40 HP / 357,202 BTU High-Capacity Commercial Air Conditioning Scroll Compressor

Fixed-speed scroll technology combines low vibration and quiet operation with high seasonal efficiency. With its 380-415V/3/50Hz and 460V/3/60Hz supply range, it operates on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz grids. With brazed (ODF) suction and discharge connections and a robust body suitable for tandem/manifold installation, it delivers reliable service in high-capacity systems.

Technician Tips

• POE oil absorbs moisture; keep the compressor sealed until installation, and dry the system thoroughly before evacuation and charging.
• Cool the body with a wet cloth during brazing, and braze under nitrogen to prevent internal oxidation.
• Pay attention to phase sequence; scroll compressors are sensitive to reverse rotation, so verify the direction of rotation and the suction/discharge pressures at the first start-up.
