ANAHEIM, Calif. - Bristol Compressors is introducing its new Benchmark line of scroll and reciprocating compressors. According to the company, the line is designed to match compression technology precisely to specific needs instead of offering a one-technology-fits-all solution.

Key features are said to include reliability and noticeably quieter operation. "The Benchmark Reciprocating Compressor is founded on the strengths of our previous lines of compressors," said Wayne Kennedy, president and CEO of Bristol Compressors. "It has a long history of being robust and extremely reliable. The Benchmark line will take this to a new and even higher level."

The Benchmark Scroll Compressor technology is more suitable for higher capacity units, 3.5 ton and above.
