RFC4D/4G
RFC
The Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor belongs to Daming’s DMZL series of semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, a line renowned for reliability in harsh operating conditions. Unlike lightweight aluminum alternatives, this compressor features a cast iron cylinder block – a material chosen for its exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and thermal expansion. This construction ensures consistent performance even when exposed to fluctuating temperatures or aggressive refrigerants.
At its core, the 4-cylinder design optimizes compression efficiency, delivering a steady flow of cooled air or refrigerant without excessive energy consumption. Daming’s engineering team has refined the compressor’s internal components (including precision-machined pistons and high-quality valves) to minimize friction and reduce downtime, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses seeking long-term refrigeration solutions. Whether integrated into new systems or used as a replacement for outdated compressors (such as older Copeland or Bock models), the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor meets global quality standards, aligning with the needs of both regional and international clients.

The compressor’s cast iron frame and cylinder block are the foundation of its durability. Cast iron’s high tensile strength enables the unit to withstand operating pressures up to 2.8 MPa (406 psi) – a critical advantage for industrial applications where system pressure can spike unexpectedly. Additionally, the cast iron material dampens vibration, reducing stress on connected components (e.g., pipes, condensers) and extending the overall lifespan of the refrigeration system. The compressor’s exterior is treated with a corrosion-resistant coating, further protecting it from moisture, dust, and chemical fumes in factory or warehouse environments.
Energy efficiency is a key SEO focus for refrigeration buyers, and the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor delivers on this front with a COP (Coefficient of Performance) of up to 3.8 – a metric that outperforms many competing semi-hermetic compressors by 15% or more. This high COP translates to lower electricity bills: for a 24/7 operation (e.g., a cold storage facility), the compressor can reduce annual energy costs by approximately $1,200–$1,800 (based on average industrial electricity rates). The 4-cylinder configuration also ensures smooth load distribution, preventing energy waste from overcompensation or uneven cooling.
To adapt to diverse refrigeration needs, the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor supports a range of widely used refrigerants, including R22, R404A, R507A, and R134a. This compatibility eliminates the need for custom modifications when upgrading existing systems, saving time and installation costs. For businesses transitioning to eco-friendly refrigerants (e.g., moving from R22 to R404A), the compressor’s design requires no major adjustments – a feature that aligns with global environmental regulations (such as the Montreal Protocol).
Unlike noisy reciprocating compressors that disrupt workspaces, the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor operates at a noise level of below 75 dB – comparable to the sound of a typical office printer. This low noise output makes it suitable for commercial settings like supermarket backrooms or restaurant walk-in coolers, where excessive noise can disturb staff or customers. The compressor’s precision-balanced crankshaft and sealed bearing system further enhance stability, reducing maintenance needs and ensuring consistent performance even during extended runtimes.
Industrial settings demand compressors that can handle heavy loads and extreme temperatures, and the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor excels in this category.
Cold Storage Facilities: It maintains temperatures ranging from -25℃ to 5℃, critical for preserving perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, and frozen meats. The compressor’s ability to stabilize temperatures prevents spoilage, reducing inventory loss for logistics companies and food distributors.
Food Processing Plants: In facilities that process dairy, seafood, or baked goods, the compressor provides continuous cooling to maintain hygiene standards and product quality. Its corrosion-resistant cast iron construction withstands frequent cleaning with industrial-grade sanitizers.
Chemical Refrigeration: For handling low-boiling-point chemicals (e.g., ammonia derivatives) or temperature-sensitive compounds, the compressor’s robust design and refrigerant compatibility ensure safe, reliable cooling – a necessity for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing.
Commercial businesses rely on compact, efficient compressors to maximize space and minimize operating costs, making this unit an ideal choice.
Supermarket Refrigeration: It powers display cases, walk-in freezers, and beverage coolers, delivering consistent cooling to keep products fresh while reducing energy use (a key factor for large retail spaces with high electricity demands).
Restaurant and Hotel Coolers: The compressor’s quiet operation and small footprint make it suitable for tight back-of-house spaces, where it powers walk-in coolers and freezer units.
Beyond standard industrial and commercial use, the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor supports niche applications:
Pharmaceutical Storage: It maintains precise temperatures (2℃ to 8℃) for medications and vaccines, complying with regulatory requirements for drug preservation.
Floral and Horticultural Cooling: Greenhouses and floral warehouses use the compressor to control humidity and temperature, extending the shelf life of delicate plants and flowers.

The compressor is designed to work with a range of industry-standard refrigerants, including R22, R404A, R507A, and R134a. This versatility allows it to integrate seamlessly into existing systems or adapt to new environmental regulations. For custom refrigerant needs, Daming’s technical team can provide guidance on compatibility and system adjustments.
With proper maintenance (e.g., regular oil changes, filter replacements, and leak checks), the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor has an expected lifespan of 10+ years. This longevity is attributed to its cast iron construction, high-quality internal components, and Daming’s rigorous manufacturing standards (which include ISO 9001 certification).
The compressor’s energy efficiency stems from two key features: its high COP of up to 3.8 and 4-cylinder design. The high COP means it converts more electrical energy into cooling output, while the 4-cylinder configuration distributes load evenly to avoid energy waste. On average, users report a 15–20% reduction in monthly energy bills compared to older or less efficient compressors.
Yes, Daming Refrigeration provides comprehensive technical support for the Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor. This includes downloadable installation manuals (available via the Tech Support section of Daming’s website), 24/7 online support, and on-site service for complex installations. The company also offers maintenance training programs for technicians, ensuring proper care of the compressor.
Absolutely. The Small 4-Cyl RFC Cast Iron Compressor is rated for operation in temperatures as low as -25℃, making it suitable for cold storage facilities, frozen food processing plants, and other low-temperature applications. Its cast iron construction resists thermal shock, ensuring consistent performance even when exposed to rapid temperature changes.
