Tecumseh AG144UF-105-J7 Compressor
The Tecumseh AG144UF-105-J7 Reciprocating Compressor, also identified as model AGB5568ETZ, is a hermetic compressor designed for compatible commercial air conditioning and high-back-pressure refrigeration applications. This Tecumseh 460V three-phase compressor operates at 60 Hz and features a 5-1/2 HP motor with low starting torque.
The Tecumseh 68,000 BTU compressor belongs to the AG Series and is listed for R-22 and R-407C refrigerant applications. The updated model has a nominal cooling capacity of 67,054 BTU/h under specified rating conditions, compared with 68,000 BTU/h for the previous version. Actual capacity varies depending on operating conditions.
This R-22 reciprocating replacement compressor features a 7/8-inch ODF suction connection and a 1/2-inch ODF discharge connection.
When replacing an existing compressor, technicians should verify electrical ratings, refrigerant compatibility, mounting dimensions, piping connections, lubricant requirements, and operating conditions. Installation should follow Tecumseh technical documentation and the original equipment manufacturer's specifications.
