OK Danfoss compressors are DANISH

[PhilipA]

That's what a Danish friend told me at dinner on saturday night and to drill it in she has sent me a 4plus meg Pdf of the history of the company.

They have factories in Germany so that is probably where the German compressor idea came from.

Danfoss are Danish but they have factories worldwide.
Some of the Danfoss gear I use comes from China, Mexico.....


Once upon a time it all came out of Denmark.

Their TX valves and solenoid valves seem to now come from china.So far they seem to be same quality,time will tell though, i always found them good.

I have never liked their pressure switch/commercial thermostat range,don't know where they are made.

Their compresser range has always been good quality.

What scary said x2, still reckon Ranco Pressure and Temp controls are the best

Exactly,although i had a ranco dual p/s play up today brand new:mad::mad:
Can't remember having a faulty new one ever before.:)

Oh,i don't mind those danfoss CPR & EPR valves,they are good as well:)

Their RT range of commercial/industrial t/stats, humidistats, etc were the Rolls Royce of mechanical controls, (and the pricing reflected it)
I used to use them in places where control was critical and electronics either didn't exist or were cost prohibitive (a long, long time ago) but their KP range have always been dodgy.

Agree on their CPR, EPR, etc valves.

Forgot about the RT range,some are still available today.They are excellent,some had gold contacts.

The most common problem we have with the KP range is chattering contacts,which then causes all sorts of other problems.

Bought a 60 lt camping fridge 12 years ago that has a Danfoss compressor in. Great compressor and never had a problem with it, runs for 3-4 days on an 80ah battery. Just pulled it out of the Disco tonight to stick the turkey in.
Once the turkeys gone the beer moves in :)

We have had a 240v Vestfrost fridge/freezer with danfoss compressors for about 10 years.
Uses about 1/4 the power of your average fridge, which is a must, as we are on stand alone solar power. Highly recommend.

]Don't the Germans claim it.The same as we claim Russell Crowe as an Aussie.

Maybe they need to rename to DANSKFOSS .

Picked up a couple of Ranco dual pressure switches yesterday and they were made in Romania:eek:

Going to contradict myself here,there is one type of danfoss TX valve i hate and that is the TUA series.We have replaced four of them in the last 2 weeks.

The other types,T2,TE2,T5,T12,we use heaps of them & never have an issue:)

I can't imagine anyone in Danmark being pleased if it was renamed Tyskfoss.

Tysk is Danish for German usually having a few derogatory adjectives preceding. Not being a native speaker I can't get the correct level of hatred and contempt into the pronunciation.

Like the Thai word for Indian is AFAIR a descriptive "Kaaaak" with downward inflection and the word for European IE White WASP is a much more polite "Farang" as in Farangsee or French.
