Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Compressors – Commercial

A FRACTIONAL HP, HIGH CAPACITY COMPRESSOR FOR SMALL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS, TECUMSEH, MODEL FFN, CIRCA 1955 – In an unusual gray/green finish, intended to suggest something new was afoot, this new generation of “high speed” compressors was equipped with 8 inch flywheel and twin V belt drive. It would turn the heads of experienced refrigeration mechanics in amazement, and herald the coming of high speed, direct drive hermetic motor compressors and the new precision and know-how required to engineer and manufacture them.
