Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Compressors – Commercial

A FRACTIONAL HP, TWIN CYLINDER COMPRESSOR FOR SMALL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS, KELVINATOR, MODEL SB, CIRCA 1948 – Now in its sunset years, as a result of substantial restructuring within the industry, this superb piece of design would in some ways represent the peak of the company’s engineering and manufacturing expertise, developed in over 40 years, by an acknowledged pioneer of the field. A moderate high speed machine designed for F12 refrigerant, it too would have a presence, hidden away from view, in the rapidly expanding network of food stores and confectioneries across Canada, starting in the 1940’s.
