Vilter Maufacturing Celebrates 150 Years

Emerson has announced that Vilter Manufacturing has marked its 150^th year in business.

Since 1897, Vilter has contributed to several significant advancements in the industrial refrigeration and gas compression industries. Recent achievements include building a 7000 lb. (3175 kg) ammonia test lab in 2012; developing the 401 mm line, the largest single-screw compressor, in 2013; and the development of a high-suction-pressure solution that can handle suction pressures of up to 750 psi. Vilter is also focusing on sustainable alternative refrigerants.

Recently, Vilter has developed refrigeration systems that utilize CO₂ as a volatile secondary fluid, cascade systems that use CO₂ in the low stage and a CO₂ transcritical booster system.
