Copeland CR18K6E-PFV-875 Compressor

The Copeland CR18K6E-PFV-875 Compressor is a high-efficiency 1.5-ton hermetic reciprocating unit engineered for residential and light commercial HVACR applications. Operating on 208-230V single-phase power, this 18,000 BTU compressor serves as a direct technical replacement for legacy models 919392 and 55-25200-38S. It is optimized for use with R-407C and R-22 refrigerants, utilizing a 45 oz POE oil charge for superior lubrication and component longevity. With a 3500 RPM motor and a rated 10.73 to 17.78 EER, it provides reliable performance in high-draw environments. The unit features 3/4" suction and 1/2" discharge stub connections, integrated internal line break protection, and includes a molded plug wiring harness and crankcase heater. Contractors selecting this hermetic reciprocating compressor will benefit from its standard 7.5" x 7.5" mounting footprint and compact 13.19" height, making it a drop-in solution for most condensing units.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Dual Refrigerant Compatibility: Fully compatible with R-22 systems and modern R-407C retrofits using POE oil.
• Internal Protection: Features internal inherent line break protection to prevent motor burnout during thermal overloads.
• Complete Installation Kit: Ships with mounting parts, fitting kit, and a molded plug wiring harness to reduce on-site labor time.
• Quiet Operation: Sound levels maintained between 71-76 dBA for sensitive residential installations.
• High Mass Flow: Delivers a consistent flow rate of 236 to 291 lb/hr for stable evaporation cycles.

Common Questions

Is the CR18K6E-PFV-875 a direct replacement for R-22 compressors?
Yes, it is designed as a service replacement for R-22 systems. However, since it contains POE oil, ensure the system is properly flushed if mixing with residual mineral oil from the old unit.

Does this unit require a start capacitor?
This is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor. While it is designed for a capacitor run, a start kit (hard start) may be required in high-head pressure starting conditions.

What is the suction and discharge connection type?
The unit features sweat-in (stub) connections, with a 3/4" suction line and a 1/2" discharge line for standard brazing.
