Danfoss MT160-3VI Compressor

The Danfoss MT160-3VI is a professional-grade R22 reciprocating compressor engineered for medium to high-temperature refrigeration and HVAC applications. Designed for 200-230V, 3-phase, 60Hz electrical systems, this Maneurop MT series unit delivers a nominal cooling capacity of 156,820 Btu/h under standard rating conditions (45°F evaporator, 130°F condenser). As a hermetic reciprocating compressor, it features a large internal free volume that provides superior protection against liquid hammering, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding field conditions.

This 4-cylinder Danfoss compressor is supplied with 160P mineral oil and utilizes Rotolock connections for efficient installation: a 1-3/4" suction port with a 1-1/8" ODF sweat sleeve and a 1-1/4" discharge port with a 3/4" ODF sweat sleeve. The inclusion of a 3/8" NPT oil equalization connection allows for seamless integration into multi-compressor parallel racks. Built for durability, the motor is fully suction-gas cooled, maintaining optimal internal temperatures across its entire operating envelope.

• High Capacity Performance: Delivers 156,820 Btu/h for reliable cooling in commercial HVACR systems.
• Liquid Slug Protection: Large internal volume mitigates the risk of damage from liquid refrigerant return.
• Versatile 3-Phase Design: Configured for 200-230V systems, ideal for industrial and heavy commercial power grids.
• Standardized Connections: Rotolock fittings simplify replacement and reduce vacuum/brazing time for contractors.
• Oil Management: Integrated 3/8" NPT port facilitates precise equalization in rack configurations.

Common Questions

Is the MT160-3VI compatible with POE oil for HFC retrofits?
The MT series is specifically designed for R22 and uses mineral oil. For HFC refrigerants like R404A or R407C, the MTZ series with POE oil is the required alternative.

What are the suction and discharge connection sizes?
This unit features a 1-3/4" Rotolock suction (1-1/8" ODF sleeve) and a 1-1/4" Rotolock discharge (3/4" ODF sleeve).

Can this compressor be used in low-temperature applications?
The MT160-3VI is optimized for medium and high-temperature evaporation ranges. For dedicated low-temp requirements, verify the operating envelope against your specific suction temperatures.
