Copeland CR32K6E-PFV-875 Compressor

The Copeland CR32K6E-PFV-875 is a professional-grade hermetic reciprocating compressor designed for high-efficiency residential and commercial air conditioning applications. Engineered as a 32,000 BTU compressor, this unit operates on 208-230V single-phase power and serves as a reliable R-22 replacement compressor (also compatible with R-407C when using POE oil). This model is the direct technical successor for the CR33KF-PFV-230 and S1-015-04658-001, offering a 3-ton nominal capacity for demanding HVACR environments. Featuring internal motor protection and a robust 82 LRA rating, it maintains stable mass flow rates between 426 and 505 lbs./hr. at standard evaporating temperatures. The 7.5" x 7.5" mounting footprint and sweat/braze connections (3/4" suction, 1/2" discharge) ensure a straightforward drop-in fit for technicians performing field retrofits or system repairs on legacy R-22 equipment.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Drop-in Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace older Copeland CR series models, reducing installation time and piping adjustments.
• Multi-Refrigerant Versatility: While optimized for R-22, it is fully compatible with R-407C systems, providing flexibility for various service scenarios.
• Enhanced Reliability: Built with internal line break motor protection to prevent premature failure from overheating or electrical overloads.
• Proven Performance: Utilizes the industry-standard hermetic reciprocating design known for durability in high-ambient conditions.
• Pre-Charged: Ships with 45 oz. of oil (Mineral or POE depending on specific batch) to ensure proper lubrication from the initial startup.

Common Questions

Is the CR32K6E-PFV-875 compatible with R-407C?
Yes, this compressor is qualified for use with R-407C. However, technicians must ensure the system is properly flushed and charged with Polyolester (POE) oil if transitioning from an R-22 mineral oil setup.

What are the primary differences between this and the CR33KF model?
The CR32K6E-PFV-875 is the direct engineering replacement. It maintains the same physical footprint and electrical requirements while meeting updated efficiency and manufacturing standards.

Does this unit require a start kit?
While not always mandatory, installing a hard start kit is highly recommended for single-phase reciprocating compressors to assist with startup torque, especially in systems with non-balanced pressures.
