Applications

Commercial and industrial cold rooms; hospitality, catering and food distribution; commercial premises with high heat loads; installations in Mediterranean or continental climates with high temperature peaks; medium-temperature applications for chilled storage and high-temperature applications for supplementary air conditioning.

Standards and compliance

Tecumseh condensing units comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and carry the corresponding CE marking. The refrigerants used are regulated by the F-Gas Regulation (EU) 517/2014. Installations must comply with UNE-EN 378 and the Spanish Refrigeration Installations Safety Regulation (RSIF) in force.

FAQs

Are Tecumseh units suitable for very hot climates?

Yes. Tecumseh compressors have a recognised track record in high-ambient applications, including southern Spain, the Mediterranean and markets in the Middle East and Africa. Many models are certified to operate at ambient temperatures of up to 43 °C or higher, making them ideal for outdoor installations in summer without significant loss of capacity.

What is the difference between a Tecumseh LT and MT unit?

The low temperature (LT) version is designed for freezer rooms (between -18 °C and -25 °C), with compressor and expansion valves optimised for very low evaporating temperatures. The medium temperature (MT) version is optimised for chiller rooms (between 0 °C and +8 °C), delivering more cooling per kW consumed at higher evaporating temperatures.

Where can I find spare parts for Tecumseh condensing units in Spain?

Tecumseh has a wide network of authorised distributors throughout Spain. The main components (compressors, service valves, filter driers) are available from most refrigeration wholesalers. José Bernad offers advice on spare parts and accessories compatible with the units in its catalogue.
