In this CR Fair, the more powerful mini compressor (3.25cc displacement) was unveiled at our stand at Shanghai Refrigeration Fair in 2016. RIGID is the first company who successfully develop this powerful miniature compressor.
Extremely small, high-performance rotary refrigeration compressors—the size of a child’s fist and weighing only 1.54 lbs—are produced by RIGID Technology and are now available around the world. Current models produce as much as 550W (1,880Btu) of cooling under standard ASHRAE conditions, using a single-cylinder configuration. Compatible with R134a refrigerants and running on 24V DC. These developed compressors are starting a new trend in various compact mobile cooling systems as well as small-footprint countertop appliances with cooling and freezing.
RIGID saw a good start in 2017, from January to June, its sales quantity increased by 150%, sales grew by 54.5% and sales revenue increased by 34.7%. RIGID’s production and sales grew significantly on a year-on-year basis.
BLDC Rotary Compressor
RIGID’s groundbreaking miniature rotary compressors are a significant advancement in vapor compression technology renowned for their low vibration and noise levels. This compact device marks the first true innovation in micro-compressor technology in a century. These compressors find applications in various thermal management scenarios, including compact recirculating chillers, small coolers, medical cooling, electronic cooling, and mini-chilled water systems.
RIGID’s mini compressors boast cooling capacities ranging from 100W to 800W (2,800Btu) thanks to our patented drive board. The drive board allows continuous speed control through the frequency of a square wave signal, enabling variable speeds from 2,000 rpm to 6,500 rpm.
Compressors play a crucial role in refrigeration products, serving as the “heart” of such appliances, akin to a car engine or the human heart. RIGID Technologies now introduces the lightest, ultra-compact, and more efficient Mini Rotary Compressor. This mini compressor represents a novel type of micro DC compressor, designed with portability and efficiency in mind. Today, RIGID proudly presents the 5th generation miniature compressor, incorporating our patented sine wave driver board.
