A propane (R290)-based variable-speed compressor from U.S. manufacturer Tecumseh meets the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star “Emerging Technology” award, according to a recent study conducted by the company.

Tecumseh says it will be releasing a full line of R449A compressors and condensing units for low, medium and high temperature commercial refrigeration applications.

Compressor manufacturer Tecumseh is backing refrigerant R452A as a mid-term alternative to R404A in medium and low temperature commercial refrigeration.
