The Danfoss SC R290 range comprises compact semi-hermetic compressors designed for commercial refrigeration systems using R290 (propane) refrigerant. These units are widely specified by restaurant kitchens, pubs, and catering businesses operating smaller to medium-capacity cooling equipment where energy efficiency and natural refrigerant compliance are priorities.

When selecting an SC R290 compressor, consider the cooling capacity required for your application, operating temperature range (LBP/MBP variants), and voltage compatibility with your existing electrical supply. Danfoss compressors are engineered to deliver consistent performance in demanding commercial environments, with proper installation of Danfoss compressor starting devices and relays essential for reliable operation.

For businesses evaluating refrigerant options, the SC R290 sits alongside alternative specifications including the SC R134a range, which uses a different refrigerant. Pairing your compressor with appropriate compressor capacitors ensures optimal electrical performance and component longevity.
