Nordyne 922186 Compressor

The Embraco NEK6213GK is a high-performance hermetic reciprocating compressor specifically engineered for medium back pressure (MBP) applications. Often utilized in commercial reach-in coolers, ice machines, and beverage dispensers, this 1/2+ HP unit delivers a robust cooling capacity of approximately 4,235 BTU/h under ASHRAE conditions. Designed for use with R404A and R507 refrigerants, the NEK6213GK features a displacement of 12.11 cc and utilizes a CSIR motor (Capacitor Start - Induction Run) to provide the high starting torque (HST) necessary for systems using expansion valves or capillary tubes. This model serves as a technical successor to the NE9213GK, maintaining a standard European mounting footprint for straightforward field replacement. For optimal performance and long-term reliability in demanding environments, forced air cooling is required to manage the thermal load of the 350ml POE oil charge during intensive cycles.

• Broad Compatibility: Optimized for R404A, R507, and R452A refrigerants across MBP and HBP ranges.
• Mechanical Integrity: Features a high-displacement 12.11 cc pump for consistent mass flow and rapid pull-down.
• Installation Ready: Shipped as a complete kit including the necessary start capacitor and relay components.
• Direct Cross-Reference: Replacement for Embraco NE9213GK and compatible with various Tecumseh and Danfoss equivalent models.
• High Starting Torque: Reliable operation even under high-head pressure starts in commercial refrigeration circuits.

What is the primary application for the NEK6213GK?
This is a standard commercial refrigeration compressor designed for medium-temperature units such as display cases and walk-ins targeting evaporating temperatures between -4°F to 50°F (-20°C to +10°C).

Which oil type is pre-charged in this unit?
The compressor is pre-charged with ISO22 polyolester oil (POE), making it compatible with HFC refrigerants. Always verify oil levels if the system has undergone a major flush.

Can this be used in systems with high ambient temperatures?
Yes, but as a fan-cooled model, it requires a minimum of 6 watts of forced draft air flow over the shell to ensure the head and windings remain within safe operating limits.
