Rotary Scroll Compressors
This Compressor uses a unique design with two scrolls, one is fixed and the other is movable, both inter-locked. This gives continuous compression allowing operation at very high speeds, whilst maintaining a compact size and high volumetric efficiency

Variable Displacement Compressors
The Variable Capacity Piston Compressor (SDV) was developed to meet the current and future needs of car manufacturers. The compressor displacement is varied by changing the angle of the cam, which in turn controls the refrigeration capacity to meet air-conditioning demands at all operating conditions. Once cabin temperature approaches desired temperature, the Compressor can afford to reduce its capacity. This avoids clutch cycling and maintains a constant lower outlet temperature.

Flexible Compressors
Utilizing interchangeable parts, the FLX7 compressor series allows distributors to consolidate hundreds of unique part numbers into less than 20 which has increased customer satisfaction. The FLX7 doesn’t just replace existing models, it also creates compressor configurations previously unavailable from Sanden. Flexibility truly is the key benefit of this compressor series. The FLX7 can be adapted to satisfy a variety of applications. The two clutch lead wire options and six fittings are just the beginning. More options are in development and the result will be an even more adaptable and flexible FLX7 compressor series.
The FLX7 series is compatible with hundreds of different A/C systems. Each FLX7 comes standard with heavy duty clutch bearings, a clutch diode, and a pressure relief valve. The port fittings are low-profile and made from forged steel, giving them superior durability and lower weight to cast-iron fittings.
Sanden compressors – Model FLX7
- Product Brochure FLX7
- Pressure relief valve to guard against abnormal pressure conditions
- Field Coil Diode to prevent electrical damage to the clutch
- Heavy-duty clutch bearing to handle higher pressures and loads
- Each FLX7 model has a pad style cylinder head ready to accept a forged steel port fitting
- Forged-steel port fittings, each designed to fit the FLX7 cylinder head. This allows the end user to adapt a single compressor to fit a variety of applications
Enhanced SD7 Compressors
The Enhanced SD7 is a higher performance version of Sanden’s popular SD7H15 compressor. The improvements to the SD7H15 provide higher refrigerant gas flow, decreased gas re-expansion, and improved efficiency. The Enhanced SD7 has the same outer dimensions as the standard SD7H15, but is capable of 15% – 20% cooling capacity based on independent testing and is ideal for applications that traditionally use 170cc – 210cc A/C compressors.
Since the Enhanced SD7 has the same mounting footprint as the standard SD7H15, no design engineering is required to make new mounting brackets. Simply utilize your existing mounting brackets.
The Enhanced SD7 is available in both ear mount and direct mount versions with a variety of clutch and porting configurations.
