Compatibility and reliability

TM13 is one of the most common and reliable compressors in transport refrigeration. Suitable for refrigeration units Carrier, Elinge, Thermo King and other units that use an open belt-driven compressor. Versions differ in pulley (2A V-belt or 8PK poly-V), port position (rear vertical or rear horizontal straight) and 12/24 V clutch voltage — specify your unit's configuration when ordering.

Important note on oil: a new compressor ships with shipping oil (factory preservation). When installing and charging the system, oil must be added per your refrigeration unit manual: the type (POE oil for R404A) and the amount are set by the unit manufacturer. Before start-up, release the nitrogen from the housing and turn the clutch pressure plate by hand 5–6 times to clear oil from the cylinders.

Manufacturer's installation recommendations: the compressor is mounted with fittings facing up (rotation tolerance ±45°, axis tilt no more than ±10°), pulley alignment within 1 mm, speed no higher than 6,000 rpm. When installed into a previously operated system, the oil amount is balanced per the unit's manual; if the circuit is contaminated, flushing and filter-drier replacement are mandatory.

Genuine parts and warranty

We supply genuine compressors in factory packaging, with nitrogen holding charge and shipping oil — never disassembled, no swapped components.

No warranty is provided on the compressor. The compressor operates inside a refrigeration system whose condition we do not control: dirty oil, an incorrect refrigerant charge or lack of oil can destroy a sound compressor in a short time. That is why correct installation and charging per the unit's manual are decisive — this work is done by the installer. When installed at the COND workshop, we warrant the installation work.
