Compressors
At Hewa you will find compressors for ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps. This category is intended for installers, service technicians and qualified refrigeration specialists looking for a suitable compressor for diagnostics, repair or technical replacement.
The compressor is a core component of the refrigeration circuit and directly affects pressure build-up, refrigerant circulation, heating output, efficiency and operational reliability. Always check the exact heat pump model, compressor code, article number, EAN, refrigerant type, electrical connection and inverter compatibility.
Compressors for ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps
Compressors are used in compatible ALPS EXCLUSIVE ARTIC and URBAN LINE heat pumps as a core component of the refrigeration circuit. The compressor creates pressure build-up and refrigerant circulation and directly affects heating capacity, efficiency, operational reliability and stable heat pump performance.
This category is intended for installers, service technicians and refrigeration-qualified professionals looking for a suitable compressor for diagnosis, repair or technical replacement. The correct spare part depends on the series, unit type, compressor code, article number, EAN, refrigerant type, electrical connection, inverter compatibility, mounting position and technical configuration.
Important checks for compressors
- Always check the exact heat pump type, product line and technical configuration of the unit.
- Compare the compressor code, article number, EAN, refrigerant type and application with the original compressor.
- Check voltage, phase configuration, inverter control, electrical connection, capacity and connection position.
- Look for fault codes, abnormal pressure values, start-up problems, overheating, protection messages or insufficient heating capacity.
- Also check sensors, inverter control, PCB control signal, valves, refrigeration circuit and electrical supply before replacing the compressor.
Application, replacement and technical attention points
A compressor may need to be replaced in case of internal damage, electrical failure, blockage, abnormal pressure build-up, insufficient refrigerant circulation or faults that are directly linked to the compressor after diagnosis. ALPS EXCLUSIVE heat pumps may use R290 inverter compressors, where compatibility with refrigerant type, inverter control and unit capacity must fully match.
Replacing a compressor is refrigeration work and must only be carried out by a qualified technician with the correct certification. After replacement, leakage testing, evacuation, refrigerant charging, electrical measurements, pressure values, inverter control, operating current, temperature differences and any controller fault messages must be checked.
Frequently asked questions about compressors
What is a compressor used for in a heat pump?
The compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant and provides circulation within the refrigeration circuit. This allows the heat pump to absorb, transfer and release heat to the heating system.
When should a compressor be replaced?
Replacement may be required in case of internal damage, electrical failure, blockage, abnormal pressure build-up, fault codes, overheating or insufficient heating capacity. A compressor should only be replaced after complete technical diagnosis.
Does every compressor fit every ALPS EXCLUSIVE heat pump?
No, compressors differ by compressor code, refrigerant type, capacity, connection, inverter control, phase configuration and mounting. Always check whether the compressor fully matches the original configuration.
Why is the refrigerant type important for compressors?
The refrigerant type determines pressure range, oil type, compressor load and system design. A compressor for R290 applications may only be used when it is technically suitable for the relevant unit.
Can a compressor be replaced without refrigeration qualification?
No, compressor replacement requires leakage testing, electrical inspection, refrigeration circuit work, evacuation, refrigerant charging and system diagnosis. This must be carried out by a qualified and refrigeration-certified technician.
