For over two decades, we’ve been the trusted partner for industrial refrigeration professionals, supplying mission-critical compressor solutions. At the heart of reliable temperature control systems worldwide stands the Bristol Model B Series – the definitive workhorse of reciprocating refrigeration technology. Engineered for robustness, efficiency, and long service life, these compressors remain the preferred choice for demanding applications where downtime is not an option.
The Bristol Model B Series represents proven hermetic reciprocating compressor technology. Key models include:
B Model Standard Range (B15, B17, B19, B21): Offering versatile cooling capacities for diverse needs.
High-Capacity Models: Engineered for larger industrial loads.
Specialized Discharge Configurations: Including high-temperature (HT) and low-temperature (LT) discharge variants to optimize system performance across the operational spectrum.
Built with robust cast iron housings, precision-machined components, and durable valve plates, Model B compressors deliver exceptional resistance to wear and liquid slugging. Their hermetic design ensures sealed integrity, protecting critical motor windings from refrigerant and moisture ingress – a cornerstone of their legendary reliability.
Bristol Model B Recip Compressors excel in critical environments:
Industrial Refrigeration: Core units for ammonia (R717) and Freon™ (R-22 retrofit/R-404A/R-507A) cold storage warehouses, food processing plants, and distribution centers.
Commercial Refrigeration: Powering supermarket rack systems, walk-in coolers/freezers, and convenience store display cases.
Process Cooling: Reliable operation in manufacturing facilities requiring precise temperature control.
Retrofit & Replacement: The benchmark standard for replacing aging compressors, offering drop-in compatibility and efficiency gains in existing systems.
Deep Technical Expertise: 20+ years specializing in refrigeration compressors and genuine parts. Our engineers understand system integration nuances.
Global Supply Chain: Reliable access to new Bristol Model B compressors and genuine OEM parts (valve plates, gasket sets, bearings, motors) – minimizing critical system downtime.
Performance-Driven Solutions: We provide compressors optimized for your specific refrigerant (including retrofit options) and operating conditions.
Innovation in Support: Beyond supply, we offer technical guidance on installation, troubleshooting, and maximizing compressor lifespan and efficiency.
Legacy Meets Reliability: The Model B isn't just a compressor; it's a testament to durable engineering. We ensure you get authentic, high-performance units backed by our expertise.

The Nameplate is Key: The model number alone is sometimes insufficient. We request a clear photo of the manufacturer’s metal nameplate. This confirms the specific Series, Voltage, and Bill of Material (BOM) number.
Refrigerant Verification: You must confirm the gas type (e.g., R134a, R404A, R290, or R410A). Using the wrong refrigerant in a Model B Reciprocating compressor designed for a different gas will lead to immediate failure and void the warranty.
Voltage & Frequency Check: Global power grids vary. Whether you need 115V/60Hz (USA), 220V/50Hz (Europe/Asia), or 3-Phase 380V, this must be explicitly confirmed during the inquiry stage to prevent electrical burnout.
Application Matching: We verify if your application requires LBP (Low Back Pressure for freezers), MBP (Medium), or HBP (High Back Pressure for A/C and chillers). Installing an LBP compressor in an HBP application will cause the motor to overheat.
Performance Benchmarking: Before shipment, units undergo rigorous testing for volumetric efficiency, motor amperage draw, and noise levels
The Test Report: For peace of mind, we can provide a Quality Inspection Report or a video of the Model B Reciprocating compressor under load test, proving it holds pressure and operates within factory specifications before it leaves our facility.
Spot Buy (Ready Stock): For urgent repairs, we leverage our global inventory of popular brands (Tecumseh, Copeland, Danfoss) to offer "2nd-Day Dispatch" on common Model B Reciprocating models.
Batch Production (OEM Orders): For distributors or appliance manufacturers requiring 50+ units, we schedule a production run. This typically requires a 2-4 week lead time but offers significant cost savings.
Condition Clarity: We clearly distinguish between "Factory New" (fresh production) and "New Surplus" (older stock). We allow you to choose based on your budget and warranty requirements.
Robust Crating: We do not use standard cardboard for international freight. All compressors are bolted to a pallet and sealed in fumigated wooden crates compliant with ISPM 15 standards for global entry.
Upright Transport: Compressors must remain upright to prevent oil from entering the compression chamber (which causes "liquid slugging"). Our packaging includes "This Side Up" shock sensors and indicators.
Customs & Documentation: We handle the complex paperwork, including Commercial Invoices and Certificates of Origin, ensuring your goods clear customs smoothly whether shipping via DHL Air Express or Sea Freight to any port in the world.
