R290 Mini Compressor

R290 BLDC Twin-Cylinder Miniature Compressor

RIGID is the miniature compressor innovation leader in China. We keep looking for novel solutions in compact and portable cooling applications. At the same time, RIGID keeps pursuing innovative solutions to effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions and promoted the use of low-GWP refrigerants. Our aims are eco-friendly and meet the high requirements of the eco-design directive UE2015-1095.

Refrigerant R290, compared to traditional refrigerants, has proven to reduce the energy consumption of refrigeration systems. Due to better thermal properties, it has higher energy efficiency when compared to R404A, and R134a. The tests carried out show a significant decrease in the refrigerant charge required for the operation of the installation. It's a natural continuation of solutions for direct relaxation in the refrigeration housed groups.

Since 2018, RIGID and its R&D team work together on eco-friendly miniature compressors. Now, the R290 mini compressors are the result of it. It meets the criteria of safety, performance, economy, reliability, and respect for the environment you are expecting from the RIGID.

The R290 mini compressors provide outstanding cooling, precise control, and unique flexibility to meet the growing market demands for mini thermal management systems. In addition to compact power and precision, it also provides unique flexibility and meets the increasing demand for small refrigeration and thermal management systems.

R290 Mini Compressor Manufacturer

RIGID mini bldc compressors are equipped with their own patent driver board to ensure high efficiency, variable speed control, and load-following capabilities, which allows you to set the speed and load following to precisely control the temperature.

The compact size, lightweight, and durability of RIGID mini compressors make them ideal for mobile and portable applications.

RIGID 24V R290 mini compressor consume less energy and are quiet. As an electrical power source, they can use battery, vehicle, grid, or solar power. They can also be powered by AC using an AC-DC converter.

A significant advantage to using R290 is its energy-saving potential. The result is a reduction in operating costs and a reduction in emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Drive Board & Display Panel

It is easy to integrate the drive board (PCB) & display panel into your application if you need sophisticated functions, or want to control by your software.

The motor drive board is a variable speed drive. This allows the cooling capacity of the system to be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the compressor speed. The compressor drive board utilizes a user-supplied 0-5 VDC analog signal to set the compressor speed. The firmware has a minimum speed of 2,000 RPM (0.7 VDC or lower) and a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM (4.5 VDC or higher).

The voltage to RPM relationship is linear between 0.7 and 4.5 V so the following equation can be used: S = 1132×V+1408.

* Where S is compressor speed (RPM) and V is the control voltage (VDC).
