Tecumseh has bolstered its AE2 series compressor offering by launching AEX low/medium temperature compressor models with an expanded capacity and broader evaporating range.
A total of six (6) AEX compressor models, which have been optimized for use with eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant R290 (Propane), are now available for customer sampling.
Currently available AEX compressor models encompass a capacity range from 1500 to 2800 Btuh for low temperature and from 3000 to 5600 Btuh for medium temperature applications. The expanded application range encompasses an evaporating temperature from -31°F to +23°F (-35°C to -5°C).
AEX models with a capacity range from 1500 to 2800 Btuh (based on a low evaporating temperature rating point) are rated for 115-127 VAC, 60Hz, single-phase use. The AEX433U model is rated for 115 VAC, 60Hz, single-phase. All AEX compressor models have been tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories.
As part of Tecumseh’s on-going product standardization efforts, AEX models use the same housing and tubing configuration as the popular AE2 series commercial refrigeration compressor.
