Torad to reveal compressor efficiency breakthrough
Torad Engineering announced today that its sixth generation spool compressor prototype has achieved market level energy efficiency. The latest spool compressor mechanism has achieved 80% overall isentropic efficiency which equates to an estimated EER of 22.7 at the SEER B point. Full details of the compressors breakthrough performance will be presented at the 2014 International Compressor Engineering Conference at Purdue University, July 14–17, on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.
"I have been working in the compressor industry for almost 30 years. I have been involved in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of reciprocating, single screw, twin screw, scroll, and turbo compressors with industry leading companies. To make this much progress, as fast as we have, is unimaginable,” said Joe Orosz, Torad’s chief operating officer. “It will be interesting to see how far this technology can go. We are still very early in the development cycle and already see outstanding operating characteristics and scaling potential.”
