III. Detailed Analysis
Feature: The C-SC series adopts a native R22 system design, factory-charged with mineral oil for perfect matching with R22 refrigerant. The compressor uses high-performance rolling bearings for main and sub bearings, a built-in internal protector for reliable motor protection upon power interruption, and a filter screen inside the suction port for enhanced compressor protection against contaminants. The C-SC series is positioned as the core compressor product for residential central air conditioning.
Advantage: The series' core advantage lies in its native R22 compatibility and mature, reliable platform design. COP reaches 3.26–3.31, delivering outstanding energy efficiency in R22 systems. The compressor features a simple structure with fewer moving parts, low vibration, and low noise — suitable for commercial spaces with acoustic environment requirements.
Benefit: For the R22 retrofit and service market, the C-SC series means a plug-and-play replacement solution — no need to change refrigerant oil or modify system piping. For cost-sensitive equipment manufacturers, the mature platform and proven quality mean lower failure rates and reduced after-sales costs. For end users, R22 systems' inherently high EER ensures cooling performance while controlling operational electricity costs.
