FRICK High Pressure Screw Compressor

The FRICK high-pressure screw (HPS) ammonia compressor range from Johnson Controls is a series of rotary screw compressors for critical, high-pressure applications. The product line is engineered to meet your gas compression requirements. Each compressor is designed and manufactured to assure reliability, availability, accessibility and ease of service. In addition, advanced energy saving features reduce operating costs significantly, all of which explains why more than 150,000 FRICK screw compressor units are in operation around the globe.

As a world leader in refrigeration and gas compression, Johnson Controls has engineered the FRICK high-pressure screw compressor to handle the toughest applications and meet the most important requirements and standards. These compressors are designed for Fuel Gas Boosting, process refrigeration and other high pressure gas compression applications.

Offering the largest range of screw compressors in the world, the Frick high-pressure screw compressor can deliver a pressure range of up to 1,100 psi (76 bar), satisfying the steady gas flow rate and high pressure needs of the turbine while handling the fluctuating gas pressure at the inlet.

With over 14,500 currently in active service, it’s no wonder our customers appreciate the advanced energy-saving features that really help reduce operating cost while delivering best-in-class performance and reliability.
