Engineering for Punishing Conditions
The Carrier 05G is a semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor with Carrier's exclusive 2/4-cylinder balanced design – engineered for continuous duty in transport refrigeration, marine and commercial air-conditioning. This unit is the 6-cylinder configuration identified in the aftermarket under OE reference 18-00097-07, with the W-arranged cylinder block and direct-drive bell housing typical of Carrier Transicold reefer systems.
Its low oil-circulation rate (<1%), self-priming reversible oil pump and housing-mounted clutch make it a benchmark of heavy-duty compressor design – and every unit we supply is backed by a full parts and overhaul-kit line, so one supplier covers your Carrier 05G from core to gasket.
