Electric Compressors

Electric compressors are used for the hybrid and electric vehicle application.

Scroll type compression mechanisms are used in order to ensure efficient compression. In addition, low noise impact and low environmental load are achieved by combining with a high-performance motor and inverter. They can also be used in an air conditioning systems for trucks during parking to ensure a comfortable cabin temperature without the engine running and consuming fuel.

  • 2nd Generation
  • 3rd Generation
  • 4th Generation

2nd Generation compressors are general-purpose models that can be used for a wide range of heating and cooling operating conditions (e.g., heat pump systems).
This type of electric compressor can be used on 24V electric trucks and 48V mild hybrid vehicles, and are widely available in the aftermarket.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 15cc 33cc 33cc
Voltage 24v 48v High voltage

3rd Generation compressors are compact, lightweight, and low noise models.

This type of compressors are used in a wide range of vehicles, including hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, and is offered mainly in Japan and China.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 27cc 33cc
Voltage High voltage High voltage

4th Generation compressors are large-capacity, high-efficiency, and high-durability models adaptable to the integrated thermal management systems, and are widely available around the world.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 33cc 45cc
Voltage High voltage High voltage

Variable Displacement Type Compressors

Sanden variable displacement compressors are used for the internal combustion engine vehicle application.

The compressor technology  can reduce engine loads thanks to its flexible refrigerant discharge capacity. Sanden variable compressors contribute to lower fuel consumption, CO2 emission reduction and drivers’ comfort.

There are 2 key formats:

Swash Plate Type (PX series)

The compression system that uses swash plates to convert rotational motion into reciprocating piston motion is used for PX series compressors.
Because of its excellent durability at high engine speeds, many customers use the compressors with this compression system.

Wobble Plate Type (SDV/C series)

The compression system that uses a wobble plate to convert rotational motion into reciprocating piston motion is used for SDV/C series compressors.

The compressors using this compression system can withstand a long period of operation in severe usage environment.

  • PXC
  • PXE
  • SDV
  • SDC

PXC is a swash plate type variable displacement compressor with clutch assembly for power transmission, which is adaptable to a wide range of vehicle needs.
The discharge capacity (amount of compression) is controlled by changing the swash plate angle in response to electrical signals from the vehicle.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 140cc 170cc

PXE is a swash plate type variable displacement compressor without clutch assembly for power transmission.

Weight reduction became possible because there was no need to cut off the power from engine to compressor. The discharge capacity (amount of compression) is controlled by changing the swash plate angle in response to electrical signals from the vehicle.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 140cc 170cc

SDV is an internal variable displacement compressor of which discharge capacity is controlled by detecting the refrigerant pressure in the air conditioning system with a sensor installed in a compressor.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 100cc 125cc 160cc

SDC is an external variable displacement compressor of which discharge capacity is controlled in response to electric signals which are generated by the vehicle according to the refrigerant pressure condition which is also detected by the vehicle.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 125cc 160cc

Fixed Displacement Type Compressors

Sanden fixed displacement compressors have been produced since the start of business. They have excellent durability and efficiency, and are still trusted and used by many customers today. These compressors are available in 2 formats:

Wobble Plate Type (SD series)

SD compressors compression system implements robust drive mechanism with its unique reciprocating piston motion.

Extended durability capability enables SD compressors to become highly popular with the world’s top shares in the truck, bus and construction machinery compressor markets.

Scroll Type (TR series)

The compression system that uses a unique mechanism to convert rotational motion into orbiting motion of a scroll part is used for TR series compressors.

High efficiency, low operation noise, and high durability at high engine speeds are achieved by using this compression system. Sanden started the mass production of this type of compressor for the first time in the world in 1981. The scroll technology is also utilized in the electric compressors.

  • SD
  • TRS
  • STR

SD is a wobble plate type fixed displacement compressor. A wide range of capacity variations are available to match customer needs.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 80cc 90cc 100cc 110cc 130cc 140cc 150cc

TRS is a highly efficient scroll type compressor with high versatility.

The models equipped with an oil separator can be operated with a smaller amount of oil circulating in an air conditioning system, so that the cooling efficiency increases.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 50cc 80cc 100cc 120cc

STR is a compact and lightweight scroll compressor.

The number of parts has been reduced by simplifying the scroll orbiting mechanism and the oil separator function, so that weight reduction and downsizing have been achieved.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 50cc 80cc

CO2 Compressors

Sanden CO2 compressors are used for internal combustion engine vehicles with a CO2 refrigerant air conditioning system.

As one of the natural refrigerants, CO2 is attracting attention for its potential to reduce environmental load. In 2017, Sanden started the mass production of CO2 compressors as first to market in the world.

SJ

SJ is an external variable displacement and high-pressure resistance compressor with CO2 refrigerant for automotive application.
Due to the characteristics of CO2 , this type of compressors have to be operated at very high pressure.

Specifications
Discharge capacity 31cc
