BRISTOL

Bristol is a compressor brand historically associated with Bristol Compressors International, a manufacturer that produced hermetic reciprocating compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning applications. The brand's product line includes hermetic reciprocating compressors designed for common refrigerants such as R-22 and R-407C, with nominal capacities ranging from approximately 23,600 to 44,300 BtuH and motor ratings from 2 to 4 hp. These compressors are typically used in commercial refrigeration systems, medium-temperature refrigeration, and HVAC equipment. The units are hermetically sealed, meaning the compressor and motor are enclosed within a welded shell, which eliminates shaft seals and reduces refrigerant leakage paths. Electrical configurations commonly include 208 to 230V AC single-phase power, and discharge line connections are often 1/2 inch. 3G Electric supplies Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The available SKUs cover multiple capacity points and both R-22 and R-407C refrigerant options, allowing specifiers to match compressor capacity to system load requirements. Each listing includes manufacturer part numbers, refrigerant compatibility, cooling capacity in BtuH, horsepower, and connection sizes. 3G Electric supports global procurement of these compressors, with logistics coordination and access to multiple SKUs. The compressors are shipped from inventory or sourced according to availability, and country of origin may vary by production batch. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors offer a sealed design that suits packaged refrigeration units, walk-in coolers, and similar equipment where service access to internal components is not required. The R-407C variants provide an alternative for systems transitioning away from R-22, though refrigerant retrofit considerations such as lubricant compatibility and system flushing should be evaluated separately. When selecting a Bristol compressor, the primary specifications to verify are refrigerant type, nominal cooling capacity at standard rating conditions, motor horsepower, voltage, and discharge line size. These parameters must align with the evaporator and condenser design, expansion device, and electrical supply of the existing or new system. 3G Electric's catalog lists each compressor with these attributes to facilitate comparison across the available range. The brand's hermetic reciprocating compressors are not intended for field repair of internal components; replacement is the standard service approach when a compressor fails. Therefore, maintaining accurate model records and stocking critical spares can reduce downtime. 3G Electric provides part number search and quote request functions to help procurement teams identify the correct replacement or new-build compressor. The product data includes SKU-level details and manufacturer part numbers, which can be cross-referenced with original equipment documentation. For international buyers, 3G Electric handles export documentation and freight coordination, though specific lead times and shipping terms depend on destination and order quantity. The Bristol line is one of several compressor brands available through 3G Electric, and the company's focus is on supplying verifiable specifications and logistics support rather than brand promotion. This approach allows technical buyers to evaluate Bristol compressors on their stated performance attributes and compatibility with existing systems.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BRISTOL from 3G Electric.

What refrigerant types are available in the Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors supplied by 3G Electric?

The Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors in 3G Electric's catalog are available for R-22 and R-407C refrigerants. Specific models include the H22J293ABCAP and H22J363ABCAP for R-22, and the H2EB32SABCAP and H22J443ABCAP for R-407C. Each listing states the refrigerant type, so buyers can match the compressor to the system's existing refrigerant. R-22 and R-407C are not interchangeable without considering lubricant, system pressure, and component compatibility. Always verify the refrigerant designation on the compressor nameplate and in the system design before ordering.

What is the cooling capacity range of Bristol reciprocating compressors available through 3G Electric?

The Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors listed by 3G Electric span nominal cooling capacities from 23,600 BtuH to 44,300 BtuH. For example, the H2EB24SABCAP provides 23,600 BtuH at 2 hp, while the H22J443ABCAP delivers 44,300 BtuH at 4 hp. These ratings are typically based on standard rating conditions, such as ARI or similar standards, and actual capacity will vary with suction and discharge pressures, refrigerant, and operating temperatures. Use the published BtuH rating as a starting point and confirm performance at your specific operating envelope.

Are Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors repairable in the field?

No. Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors have the motor and compressor mechanism sealed inside a welded steel shell. This design does not allow for field repair of internal components such as valves, bearings, or motor windings. If a compressor fails, the standard practice is to replace the entire hermetic assembly. Because of this, maintaining accurate model records and stocking spare compressors for critical systems can help minimize downtime. 3G Electric lists manufacturer part numbers to assist with identifying the correct replacement unit.

What voltage and electrical configuration do Bristol reciprocating compressors use?

The Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressors in 3G Electric's catalog commonly operate on 208 to 230V AC single-phase power. For example, the H22J293ABCAP and H2EB32SABCAP both specify 208 to 230V AC. Motor horsepower ranges from 2 to 4 hp across the listed models. Electrical supply must match the compressor's nameplate rating, and proper starting components, overload protection, and wiring must be sized according to the compressor's requirements. Always consult the manufacturer's electrical data for the specific model before installation.

Can 3G Electric supply Bristol compressors for international orders?

Yes. 3G Electric ships Bristol compressors globally. The company provides logistics coordination and export documentation for international orders. Availability and lead time depend on the specific SKU and destination. Country of origin for Bristol compressors may vary; for example, some units are manufactured in Thailand, subject to change. For accurate lead times and shipping terms, submit a quote request with the required model numbers and quantities. 3G Electric will confirm availability and provide a commercial offer.

How do I select the correct Bristol reciprocating compressor for a replacement?

To select a replacement Bristol hermetic reciprocating compressor, first record the original compressor's model number, refrigerant type, cooling capacity, horsepower, voltage, and discharge line size. Then compare these specifications against the available Bristol models in 3G Electric's catalog. Key parameters include refrigerant (R-22 or R-407C), BtuH capacity at rating conditions, motor hp, electrical supply, and connection sizes. If the exact model is unavailable, a compressor with matching capacity and refrigerant may be suitable, but verify system compatibility, including lubricant type and expansion device, before substitution.
