According to Tecumseh ceo Todd Herrick, the new compressor was designed to fit most existing scroll applications. Herrick said its new compressor may look like a scroll, sound like a scroll, and perform like a scroll, but it’s different.
“Years ago our customers began asking us for a way to get the same kind of performance, sound, and dependability as a scroll – for less money,” said Herrick. “That was a tough question. Because scroll technology is inherently expensive, we knew we had only one option: to design a new kind of compressor that would compete with the scroll or anything else on the market in terms of sound, size, efficiency, dependability, and quality, at a price that would lower our customers’ applied cost. We turned the problem over to our engineers.”
