Research and development of energy-efficient appliance motor-compressors. Volume 4: Production demonstration and field test
Abstract
Two models of a high efficiency compressor for low back pressure applications were manufactured. Many changes required production process changes. The compressors were used in top mount refrigerator freezers. The results reveal a 27.0% improvement in energy consumption for the 18 ft(3) high efficiency model and a 15.6% improvement in the 21 ft(3) improvement in the 21 ft(3) high efficiency model as compared to the standard production unit.
