TECUMSEH RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR (TCW series)

1. High Energy Efficiency (EER)

• Advantage: Advanced valve plate design and high-efficiency motors.

• Benefit: The TCW series is engineered to meet strict global energy regulations (like Energy Star or EU Ecodesign). It consumes significantly less power than older standard compressors, helping end-users lower their monthly electricity bills.

2. Ultra-Quiet Operation

• Advantage: Internal spring-mounted suspension and a redesigned “muffler” system.

• Benefit: It minimizes vibration and acoustic noise. This makes it the perfect choice for domestic kitchen refrigerators and wine coolers located in living spaces where loud “compressor hum” is undesirable.

3. Compact Physical Footprint

• Advantage: Reduced shell height and width.

• Benefit: The “low-profile” design allows appliance manufacturers to maximize internal storage volume. It fits easily into the small mechanical compartments of under-counter fridges and compact freezers.

4. Modern Refrigerant Optimization (R600a)

• Advantage: Specifically tuned for Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants like R600a.

• Benefit: By using R600a, the compressor operates at lower pressures and has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of nearly zero, making the system future-proof against environmental bans on HFCs.
