Carlyle Compressor — part of Carrier — is delivering on the global demand for natural, lower-GWP refrigerants by offering a new generation of compressors that once again work with one of the original natural refrigerants — ammonia.

The global refrigerant compressor market is expected to reach $21.8 billion by 2026, according to a new study by Reports and Data.

If a system has a defective compressor, finding a replacement is generally easy, but here are a few tips, just in case.

Suitable for multiple spaces, the new 4-D and 6-D models offer diverse features.

Ongoing refrigerant developments and efficiency regulations have the attention of many in the compressor industry.

The weird thing about compressor problems is that — well, it’s usually not the compressor.
