Nordyne 922168 Compressor
The Nordyne 922168 Compressor is a 2-ton R-22 replacement compressor engineered for performance in residential and light commercial condensing units. Operating on a 230V, 1-phase, 60Hz electrical configuration, this hermetic scroll pump serves as the direct replacement for Nordyne 921046. Technicians will find the 25,000 BTU/HR capacity and Copeland ZR25K5E-PFV-800 cross-reference specifications ideal for maintaining system pressure and efficient refrigerant flow in older Intertherm, Miller, and Gibson HVAC units. The 922168 scroll compressor features standard stub-out connections and a 7.5" x 7.5" mounting base, facilitating a precise fit during field retrofits. Utilizing mineral oil or POE oil depending on your system flush, this Nordyne OEM compressor ensures optimal thermal transfer and high-side pressure stability. For service technicians performing a R-22 compressor replacement, this unit provides the necessary reliability to restore system cooling capacity without extensive piping modifications in most 2-ton applications.
Key Benefits- Direct OEM fit for legacy Nordyne 921046 models, minimizing installation time.
- High-efficiency scroll technology provides quieter operation and better liquid handling than reciprocating pumps.
- Optimized for R-22 refrigerant systems, ensuring correct mass flow and evaporator temperature control.
- Rugged 230V single-phase motor design built to withstand high ambient head pressures.
Is the Nordyne 922168 compatible with R-410A?
No, this model is specifically engineered for R-22 refrigerant systems and should not be used in high-pressure R-410A applications.
Does this compressor replace the Nordyne 921046 directly?
Yes, the 922168 is the manufacturer-designated replacement for part number 921046, maintaining the same 2-ton capacity and electrical requirements.
What oil is pre-charged in this unit?
Standard replacement units typically ship with a holding charge of oil; always verify the lubricant type on the nameplate to ensure compatibility with your system's existing refrigerant oil.
