Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 21 October 2018: Tecumseh Products Company added Tecumseh IntelliSC, an intelligent system controller, to its Tecumseh Intellicool technology platform offerings, the company announced in a Press communiqué. Tecumseh IntelliSC is a full-featured intelligent system controller with a remote user interface and display, the communiqué said. Tecumseh IntelliSC is enhanced for use with Tecumseh’s variable speed compressors and IntelliCI inverters, the communiqué further said.

According to Tecumseh, these features include an isolated frequency compressor-speed interface and a highly configurable algorithm to reduce overall energy consumption. Tecumseh IntelliSC has a universal power supply and is approved for use with R-290 refrigerant, the communiqué said. With 3 independent temperature sensors and 5 relays, Tecumseh IntelliSC can be configured to control defrost functions, fans and other components, as needed, the communiqué further said.

Robert Terry, Global Platform Director of Variable Speed Technology, Tecumseh, said: “One of our current customers, in a glass-door merchandiser application, was able to achieve a 37% energy reduction using IntelliSC and VTC compressor, when compared to their traditional fixed capacity solutions. Initial feedback from our customers has indicated that their testing, using IntelliSC and VTC compressor, results in dramatic energy savings.”

According to Tecumseh, the IntelliSC, when combined with variable speed compressors, offers additional advantages beyond energy-savings. The communiqué said features and benefits, such as tight temperature control, input power management, rapid temperature pull-down and diagnostics, help end-users ensure that their equipment is operating with high reliability and superior performance.
