Providing continuous capacity modulation for HVAC/R DX systems since 1993 · 100,000+ valves installed in the field

Reliability

Reliability

Every compressor start is wear. By replacing on/off cycling with continuous modulation, APR Control reduces starts. In an independent field study, APR modulation cut total compressor starts 77% (951 to 218), with zero failures since install.

Fewer starts, longer compressor life

By avoiding the cycling wear that drives compressors to fail early, APR Control helps keep you out of a $3,000–$15,000+ compressor replacement before its time. Application-specific planning estimate.

Every start adds excess wear to your compressor

The hardest moment in a compressor's life is start-up: inrush current, mechanical shock, and oil migration all happen at once. An oversized system that short cycles stacks up those starts, and each one shortens the equipment's service life. Reliability is about how many times the compressor has to start, not run hours.

APR Control reduces starts,
so equipment lasts

By replacing on/off cycling with continuous modulation, APR Control cuts the number of starts dramatically. In an independent field study on two identical rooftop units in the same building, the equipped unit logged 218 compressor starts against 951 on the control unit: 77% fewer total starts and 79% fewer lead compressor starts, with zero compressor failures since installation (Independent Field Study). Fewer high-stress starts help compressors exceed expected lifespans.
