In the competitive world of industrial refrigeration, FES screw compressors are recognized for their dependable performance, flexible configurations, and energy-efficient operation. Like other compressors, one of the most important specifications to consider when evaluating FES models is the swept volume, measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). This measurement represents the compressor’s volumetric displacement and is directly tied to its cooling output capacity.
