Masterflux by Tecumseh has launched its new variable-speed rotary compressor, Nevada, designed for mobile refrigeration and electric vehicle (EV) applications using natural refrigerants.
The Nevada compressor is built for robust performance in extreme environments, ensuring reliable and continuous operation in demanding transport refrigeration and mobile cooling use cases. It is suited for mobile containers, food trucks, and solar-powered cooling systems, offering a quiet and energy-efficient onboard solution.
Nevada will be available for use with R290 and A2L refrigerants. According to Masterflux, the compressor delivers a cooling capacity of 3.5 kW for frozen applications and 5 kW for fresh applications. It supports a wide voltage range, including 48, 400, 650, and 850 VDC.
Based on the same technology as the company’s Alpine compressor for high back pressure (HBP) systems, the Nevada model is engineered for low back pressure (LBP) needs. This expands the Masterflux product range to cover both frozen and fresh segments in mobile refrigeration.
