Part of a collection of refrigeration parts and service items from Dr. G. Leslie Oliver. Dr. Oliver added to and documented a collection begun by his late father, of household and automobile technology. Dr. Oliver's father, T.H. Oliver established a refrigeration & electric service business in Aurora, Ont. 1924, the first and oldest such organization in York Region. In 2000, the business was sold but continues to operate under the T.H. Oliver name.

Fonction

Part of a refrigeration system, it's used to compress the refrigerant gas in order to raise it's pressure and temperature.

Technique

Reciprocating compressor was the most common type employed in domestic refrigeration c. 1930s-1960, and possibly later, and was usually belted to the pulley of an electric motor. A discharge and suction valve controls the flow of refrigerant from and to the compressor. Relatively simple to manufacture and maintain, this type of compressor is extremely durable. Identified by donor as c. 1927 Model J21 Kelvinator condensing unit.
