Low-Voltage Compressor

Low-Voltage SolidSlot™ Compressor Drives

Duryea’s standard* 12/24/28 volt scroll compressor drive is a universal solution for vehicle electric air conditioning. This American-made unit is built with a low-core loss, 95% efficient SolidSlot™ brushless motor, which is able to deliver more than twice the power of typical products.

The high-performance choice for low-voltage requirements, Duryea compressor drives offer maximum cooling capacity for demanding applications and larger vehicles, such as trucks, buses, military platforms and aircraft.

  • Integrated low-EMI electronic commutation.
  • Standard air-conditioning controls switch the motor on and off as they would a belt-driven compressor’s electric clutch.
  • Compatible with standard air-conditioning systems and components: condensers, evaporators, refrigerator lines, and fans.
  • Non-hermetic – doesn’t add heat to the refrigerant.
  • Variable output option with Duryea’s EMI-filtered controller

*Custom solutions are available. Please contact us with your requirements.
