Stationary Cooling Solutions

Secop Stationary Cooling Solutions include AC-powered hermetic compressors designed for stationary commercial refrigeration applications. With more than 65 years of experience, Secop develops reliable and energy-efficient solutions for the light commercial refrigeration market. The compressors are available for all global AC mains voltage standards and are specifically optimized for green refrigerants (hydrocarbons).

Secop AC compressors are used across a wide range of light commercial applications, including glass door refrigerators and merchandisers, ice makers and chest freezers, stainless steel refrigerators, food retail display cabinets, professional food service equipment, ice machines, beverage dispensers, and various specialized commercial refrigeration units for gastronomy, retail, and food service.

The key features of Secop AC compressors include a compact design, efficient motors, and low energy consumption. Many of Secop’s hermetic reciprocating compressors are specifically engineered for the natural refrigerants R600a (isobutane) and R290 (propane). The compressors offer excellent energy efficiency, low noise levels, and a wide evaporating temperature range that enhances pull-down performance.

Secop’s variable-speed control technology automatically adjusts compressor performance to the actual cooling demand. This results in energy savings of up to 40% compared to fixed-speed compressors. The technology also significantly reduces operating costs, improves the overall efficiency of the cooling application, and lowers noise levels.

Secop provides several compressor series tailored to different requirements:

• KL-Series (KLE, KLF) for R290 applications with a patented hermetic terminal plug
• S-Series (SC, SCE, SLV, SLVE) as a versatile solution for merchandisers and supermarket freezers
• N-Serie (NL, NF, NLE, NLU, NLV) with the NLV as a powerful variable-speed-controlled compressor for propane
• K-Series for R600a
• KLF, NLE and SCE compressors designed for energy-optimized condensing units

The Secop Application Selector is a digital tool that helps users find the right compressor for their specific application in just a few steps. Users simply select the market segment, application type, and cabinet size. The tool then automatically displays the available compressor options that meet the search criteria, greatly simplifying the selection process.

Natural refrigerants are a core component of Secop’s sustainability strategy. The compressors are optimized for environmentally friendly hydrocarbons such as R290 (propane) and R600a (isobutane), both of which feature very low global warming potential (GWP). This aligns with current EU Ecodesign and F-Gas regulations and supports more environmentally friendly commercial refrigeration.

In the commercial segment—where large volumes and high energy usage are typical—operators benefit particularly from the efficiency gains of the latest compressor generations. Secop’s electronically controlled compressors adapt to actual cooling demand, significantly reduce operating costs, and ensure consistent food quality and compliance with food safety regulations.

Secop recommends contacting its team of specialists to determine the optimal solution for specific applications. The company provides comprehensive technical documentation, data sheets, application studies, and customer case stories showcasing successful deployments of Secop solutions. Additionally, digital tools such as the Application Selector and newsletters with updates on the Stationary Cooling business area are available.
