DAC Worldwide’s Open Drive Refrigeration Compressor Cutaway (373-140) is an expertly-sectioned example of a classic open drive-type reciprocating refrigeration compressor. The training device facilitates and supports industrial learning in the design, operating principles, and maintenance of refrigeration compressors. Both the body and the compressor head are cut away, allowing for full visibility of the compressor’s moving components and valves.

Cutaway surfaces are enhanced through painting, making the geometry of all components more clear. Multiple cutaways unveil all internal components, which enhances classroom training in HVAC system design, maintenance, troubleshooting, and preventive/predictive maintenance. This professionally-crafted, yet-economical component sample will enhance HVAC training activities in both the industrial and the educational setting.

Thanks to carefully planned sectioning, the complete internal configuration of this compressor can be seen, while allowing for disassembly for more complete inspection and convenient classroom training in the operation, construction, and maintenance of these common pieces of HVAC equipment. The full-size, fully-detailed example gives learners a first-hand view into a component that is found in various applications worldwide.

Enhance Training with Hands-On Cutaway Industrial Components

This Open Drive Refrigeration Compressor Cutaway provides a full cutaway view of the compressor body that exposes the complete internal components and operating principles. Economically mounted on a formed-steel and powder-coated baseplate assembly, the product can be mounted on a variety of related optional display, storage and workstation products.

The equipment used within the cutaway is cleaned, primed, and painted using a high-endurance urethane coating, providing durability to stand up to frequent use. In addition, all of the component parts are color-coded to enhance the learning process.

The cutaway features carefully-planned cutaway areas that are individually mounted, and possess the ability to be removed from the baseplate for convenient classroom use. All of the cutaway’s components are also visible and have been retained, enhancing students’ visual learning. This handcrafted teaching device will support instructor-led training and independent student self-discovery in a variety of vocational and academic fluid power programs.

Expand Training with Additional HVAC Model Options

The Open Drive Refrigeration Compressor Cutaway is only one of DAC Worldwide’s expansive HVAC training cutaways, which includes a Semi-Hermetic Compressor Cutaway (373-120), a Hermetic Scroll Refrigeration Compressor Cutaway (373-130), an ACR Steel Ball Valve Cutaway (373-501), and more!


DAC Worldwide's HVAC cutaways enhance learning by providing a look inside components found in most HVAC systems including compressors, solenoids, and valves. On many of DAC Worldwide's cutaways, functionality has been retained and a hand wheel provided to demonstrate low-speed manual operation. Each cutaway is mounted on a modular, heavy-gauge steel baseplate and support assembly. For industrial training relevance, common models by well-known manufacturers are chosen.
