Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Condensing Units – Commercial

A refrigeration condensing unit, with rolled and formed steel frame, massive in appearance, given its modest capacity, the Frigdaire Model S served to perpetuate the “machinery look” of the 1920’s well in to the next decade. With oval coil, static air condenser it would be recognised as a kind of icon of the engineering culture of the times, with its ideas of what a proper refrigeration machine should look like. A real time piece of the era in which it was conceived, many would still be in service 30 years later, servicing Canada’s food and hospitality industries, Frigidaire, 1929.

Features:
– Original decorative Frigidaire sticker and logo- Original wiring harness in steel sheathed BX, 2/14 cable and Square D disconnect switch Cat No 98251, with original 15 amp. cartridge fuses
