Performance Ratings of Sullair and Cyclops Refrigeration Compressors

Performance Ratings of Sullair and Cyclops Refrigeration Compressors

Performance Ratings of Sullair and Cyclops Refrigeration Compressors

(OP)
Does anyone have access to performance ratings tables (TR and BHP at various suction and discharge pressures) for the following compressors?  I have searched the web and could not find anything.

Sullair C20LA717-37 R717
Sullair 79DH12-0108 R22

Cyclops 5" bore x 5" stroke
Cyclops 7.5" bore x 7.5" stroke

Sullair no longer makes refrigeration compressors and only offers parts not technical support.
Cyclops are very old open reciprocating compressors manufactured in San Francisco from 1910 to around 1950.

RE: Performance Ratings of Sullair and Cyclops Refrigeration Compressors

The Cyclops machines should be very similar to a York or Frick 2-cyl recip of the same Bore & Stroke; I believe they used reed valves like a Worthington and that info is still around....You might also find this piece interesting.

For old Sullair information:  Try Jack Bitterle at Mid States, I believe Laporte, IN

Yes you are right!  I did not know about the Frick units since I have never seen one out here on the West Coast (Cyclops was probably more popular here since they were manufactured nearby).  The rating information in the link that you provided is all I need.  I can't believe that they are still selling these in India!

Thanks also for the Mid States (Sullair) information.
