The advanced electronic-controlled RSD (rated speed drive) compressor combines an improved mechanical kit with an electronically controlled electric motor operating at a preselected speed. Running as slowly as 1,600 rpm, the compressor combines the features of high-start torque with low startup power consumption. The RSD compressor allows interfacing the cooling appliance electronic controls with permanent magnet DC motor drives to maximize the output of the compressor. The compressor runs at a main speed chosen according to the cooling capacity required, giving optimal system efficiency and low noise throughout most of the appliance's lifetime and use. The RSD compressors are equipped with an additional turbo speed activated by an external switch, which gives the refrigerator extra cooling capacity for the required time when needed.
