Actually Two stage compressors are made by Carlyle, Copland
and perhaps some others but not the way is described by Al
Copeland type 6RB1 three heads 6 cylinder one head high pressure
two heads low pressure. typically in (10 one head) and
20 HP it come mounted on top of condenser with liquid subcooler
attached.
Carlyle similar configuration but with 30 HP. I did not come
across their smaller size's if there is one.
Machines are use at 40 to 50 below zero, R-502 and R-404a.
Now if we were to look at electrical system I would say
that two stage start you would be looking at three phase
STAR DELTA START where would two pole contactor
come in use sorry don't know. it seems that something
is missing here.
