PERFORMANCE

VERSATILE

A battery of internal and external performance and reliability tests were conducted on the TC prior to releasing any samples for customer testing. Feedback from customer testing also validates the performance and reliability of the TC design.

Suction and discharge systems combined with new motors and refrigerant fluid handling provides improved compressor efficiency.

Industry standard suction, discharge and process connections facilitate ease of installation and serviceability.

COMPACTNESSUp to 15% lower in height when compared to comparable compressor offerings.

ECO-FRIENDLYDesigned for optimum performance with “green” hydrocarbon refrigerant R600a (isobutene) and R290 (propane)

Introduction

Product StrategyThe TC Series compressor is designed for LBP, L/MBP and M/HBP applications. Compressor models are

available for use with refrigerants R600a (isobutene), R290 (propane) in capacities ranging from 300 to 1,500

Btu/h (for LBP and L/MBP) and from 2,000 to 4,000 Btu/h (for M/HBP).
