Company Information
Hartford Compressors Inc. designs, manufac-
tures, and supports an extensive range of rotary
screw compressors and reciprocating compres-
sors for use in air conditioning and refrigeration
systems. With decades of experience in develop-
ing innovative products for commercial, indus-
trial, and marine applications, Hartford
Compressors sets the standard for precision
engineering, optimum performance, and cus-
tomer satisfaction.

Our latest generation of medium and large screw

compressors have been designed for long life,
low noise and vibration levels, improved reliabil-
ity, and lower operating costs. They are compati-
ble with environmentally friendly refrigerants and
gases with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
and zero global warming potential (GWP).

A continuing program of in-house laboratory

testing has resulted in screw compressors with the
best combination of economy and efficiency
available today.

With fewer moving parts and smooth rotary

motion, screw compressors provide reliable, non-
pulsating positive displacement compression.
Paired male and female helically profiled rotors
are machined with extreme accuracy of pitch and
thread form, to obtain tight uniform clearances.
This ensures proper sealing and dynamic bal-
ance necessary for quiet and efficient perfor-
mance. Positive displacement compression results
in stable operation at partial or full load. A built-
in separator (MSC only) creates a full self-
contained unit.

All of our products are engineering with the

highest attention to detail. Whether choosing a
standard model or one specially engineered, we
provide needed features and benefits. With this
philosophy, Hartford Compressors Inc. proudly
presents the MSC-127 which illustrates all
aspects of engineering excellence.

Rotary Motion Operation

For clarity reasons, the compressor operation description will be limited to one lobe on
the male rotor (right) and one interlobe space of the female rotor (left). In actual
operation, as the rotors turn all of the male lobes and female interlobe spaces interact
with a uniform gas flow.

Suction Phase As a lobe of the male rotor begins to

unmesh from an interlobe space in the female rotor, a
void is created and suction gas is drawn in through the
inlet port. As the rotors continue to turn the interlobe
space increases in size, and gas flows continuously into
the compressor. Suction is sealed off when the interlobe
space reaches its maximum volume.

Compression Phase As rotation continues, the gas

in the interlobe space is carried around the
circumference of the compressor housing. Further
rotation meshes male and female lobes thus reducing
interlobe volume. Positive displacement compression
continues in the direction of the discharge port.

Discharge Phase At a point determined by the

designed built-in compressor volume ratio (V), the
discharge port is uncovered and the compressed gas is
discharged by further meshing of the male and female
interlobe space. While the meshing point of a pair of
lobes is moving axially, the next charge is being drawn
into the unmeshed portion and the working phase of
the compressor cycle are repeated.
