III. Detailed Overview
Feature: The C-SBS series adopts a native design for R407C systems, factory-charged with POE ester oil for perfect compatibility with R407C refrigerant. R407C is an environmentally friendly alternative to R22 with a low ozone depletion potential (ODP). The compressor utilizes a fully hermetic scroll structure with high-performance rolling bearings for main and auxiliary shafts. An internal protector ensures reliable motor protection upon direct power cutoff, and a suction strainer at the suction port provides enhanced compressor protection.
Advantage: This series centers on R407C refrigerant compatibility and high energy efficiency. The C-SBS150H38C achieves a COP of 3.16 and EER of 10.78 Btu/Wh at 50Hz. The C-SBS235H38A delivers a cooling capacity of 19,500W at 50Hz with a COP of 3.10 and EER of 10.58 Btu/Wh. The complete 4.2–7 HP power coverage meets diverse demands from small commercial air conditioners to medium industrial refrigeration systems.
Benefit: For equipment manufacturers, the C-SBS series provides precise power matching for R407C systems with a cooling capacity range of 12.8 kW to 23.4 kW. For projects targeting markets with environmental regulations, R407C's zero-ODP meets compliance requirements while maintaining high energy efficiency. For end users, the high efficiency of R407C systems combined with the long-service-life design of scroll compressors ensures long-term operational economy and reliability.

| R407C Heat Pump System | C-SBS165H38C | 4.5 | Different interface configuration |
| R407C Large Commercial | C-SBS235H38A | 7.0 | 19.5kW, COP 3.10 |
Selection Tip: For 4.2 HP, choose C-SBS150H38C; for 4.5 HP, choose C-SBS160H38A / C-SBS165H38C; for 7 HP, choose C-SBS235H38A/B.
Future-Proof Your Cooling Systems with R407C
The phase-down of R22 has made R407C the go-to solution for environmentally conscious operations—but only if your compressor can unlock its full potential. The Panasonic/Songyang C-SBS Series is purpose-engineered to do exactly that.
Unlike generic replacements, the C-SBS platform is natively designed for R407C with factory-filled POE ester oil, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring optimal lubrication from day one. With a versatile 4.2–7 HP range and industry-leading efficiency (COP to 3.18, EER to 10.78 Btu/Wh), it bridges the gap between small commercial units and heavy-duty industrial refrigeration.
Core Advantages at a Glance:
-
Precision Engineering: Scroll wrap geometry and POE oil pairing maximize heat transfer and minimize wear under R407C's unique thermodynamic profile.
-
Flexible Integration: Four distinct models (C-SBS150/160/165/235) accommodate diverse voltage and interface requirements, simplifying system design.
From 12.8 kW to 23.4 kW, the C-SBS series delivers the exact capacity your application demands—without compromise.
