- Tecumseh Products Company is pleased to announce the release into India a new line of direct-current (DC) Masterflux® compressors, designed specifically for battery cooling applications within the region’s growing telecommunications market.
- The new product, which will be the first of its kind manufactured in India, features a highly-efficient Tecumseh “THK” reciprocating compressor specially fitted with a brushless (BLDC) motor and an additional controller for converting DC power to three-phase power. The product will have both fixed speed and variable speed capability. “These new specialized compressors are affirmation of Tecumseh’s commitment to provide high quality, efficient products to its customers in India and the surrounding region,” said Mr. Jim Connor, Tecumseh Products Company president and CEO. Connor, who was in India for the announcement, added: “I commend our product development and manufacturing teams in India and North America for their teamwork on this project.” The advent of 3G technology into India’s expanding telecommunications industry creates a critical need for robust cooling requirements to help extend battery life within remote shelter installations. These Masterflux compressors manufactured by Tecumseh India are well-suited for the T3 ambient temperature range of up to 55ºC often times seen in India and the Middle East. The first product introduced will be 48V and provide 500W of cooling capacity. Additional models are being developed for both 12V and 24V applications to address additional market segments. “This is just the beginning of our initiative to launch innovative and value-added products in the Indian market,” said Mr. R. Ravi, managing director of Tecumseh Products India. “Our goal is to soon have an expanded offering of high efficiency DC solutions for many Telecom, Solar and Mobile applications.”

- Masterflux along with Bergstrom's NITE System were awarded an honorable mention in the prestigious 2009 AHR EXPO Innovation Awards in the category of Cooling. (www.ahrexpo.com)
The AHR Expo Innovation Awards are given each year to recognize the most innovative and useful products showcased at the AHR Expo in nine separate categories: Building Automation, Cooling, Green Building, Heating, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Refrigeration, Software, Tools, and Ventilation. Products are judged on the basis on their design, creativity, energy efficiency, and value to the HVAC&R Industry.
Award Winning products and products worthy of Honorable Mention are determined by a panel of judges, appointed by the ASHRAE Journal for their knowledge and expertise in the HVAC&R Industry. - The NITE system was developed to maintain a comfortable temperature within the sleeper of an over-the-road vehicle while the truck's engine is not running. For each hour, the NITE System is in use, it saves 1 to 1.5 gallons of fuel with zero emissions. It is efficient enough to run the full night on a battery package.
