Copeland KAJB-010E-CAV-800 Compressor

The Copeland KAJB-010E-CAV-800 is an industry-standard 1 HP semi-hermetic compressor engineered for demanding commercial refrigeration environments. This K-body Copelametic model is optimized for low-temperature applications, delivering a reliable 3,820 BTU/h cooling capacity when operating with R-404A refrigerant at typical -25°F evaporator conditions. Designed for 208-230V single-phase power supplies, it features a Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) motor for efficient starting torque under high load. The unit is pre-charged with POE (Polyolester) oil, ensuring full compatibility with modern HFC refrigerants like R-448A and R-449A. With a robust 40 LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) rating and external inherent protection, this compressor provides the mechanical durability required for walk-in freezers and reach-in units. Its small-body design incorporates optimized bearings to minimize decibel levels and vibration, while the 5/8" suction and 1/2" discharge flare connections facilitate straightforward field integration on the 8.19" x 6.38" mounting footprint.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Approved for use with R-404A, R-134a, R-448A, and R-449A, providing flexibility for retrofits and new installs.
• High-Efficiency CSCR Motor: The 230V single-phase motor design reduces energy consumption while maintaining peak performance in extreme low-temp settings.
• Durable Semi-Hermetic Build: Features the legendary Copelametic serviceability and heavy-duty internal components for an extended operational lifecycle.
• Low-Temp Precision: Specifically engineered to maintain stable pressures down to -40°F evaporating temperatures without sacrificing volumetric efficiency.

Common Questions

What are the primary applications for the KAJB-010E-CAV-800?
This low-temp compressor is frequently utilized in commercial ice cream freezers, laboratory cooling systems, and specialized food storage units requiring consistent sub-zero temperatures.

Is this model compatible with older R-22 or R-12 systems?
While originally part of families that supported those refrigerants, this 800-series model is optimized for POE oil and works best as a high-performance replacement in high-pressure HFC or HFO-blend systems.

What mounting and connection sizes are standard?
The unit utilizes a standard 8.19" x 6.38" mounting pattern and is equipped with a 5/8" flare suction line and a 1/2" flare discharge line for high-integrity sealing.
