“Merchandisers have told us they want sleek, self-contained display cases,” said Todd W. Herrick, Tecumseh president and ceo. “Our new horizontal rotary compressor and condensing unit are ideal for the new designs, and they need no external piping that would keep the display case anchored in one location.”
According to company officials, most self-contained refrigerated display cases today use reciprocating compressors that have more moving parts than rotary compressors. They contend that laboratory and field experience indicate that the rotary compressor is more reliable than the compressors they replace, and they also offer lower sound and power consumption.
