Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Compressors – Household
UNIVERSAL COOLER, TYPE “A” COMPRESSOR, 1949: A single cylinder, FHP, original equipment manufacturer’s [OEM’s], refrigeration compressor of the mid 20th century, just prior to the wide spread adoption of hermetic motor compressors. Astonishingly small, lightweight, and operating at elevated speeds, it stands as an historic marker of the advancements in open system compressor design and performance by OEM’s over two decades from the late 1920’s.
