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. Unlike similar Artifact #046, this machine is equipped with a 25 cycle, pre WWII, high torque, repulsion induction motor by Sangamo Electric Toronto Ont., allowing it to appear much the way it did in its early operating years, Frigidaire, 1929.
