Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Compressors – Household

ILG, SINGE CYLINDER, FHP, REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR, 1940: A remarkable, truly innovative, piece of refrigeration engineering of the early mid/ 20th century, from its cast aluminium body to its eccentric mechanism, valve design, and distinctive green, high gloss enamel finish, it was meant to raise eyebrows. Making use of the new materials and engineering know-how of the times, it is a reminder of the diversity and immense inventiveness of this period of rapid growth, all part of the rich heritage of HVACR’s engineering applications, on which the industry now builds.
