Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Compressors – Household

Designed for the new chlorinated hydrocarbon refrigerants, and with advanced valve design and over all performance, this open style, belt driven compressor of the mid 1930’s, developed by Kelvinator for its household, cabinet refrigerators, would be about as good as a compressor gets. It provided the householder with a new sense of quiet that would be characteristic of the best of the industry’s offerings, prior to the imminent introduction of the sealed “hermetic” motor compressor, Kelvinator, 1935.
