York 015-04177-004 Compressor

When you're servicing or replacing a heavy-duty residential or light commercial unit, the York 015-04177-004 Compressor is a reliable high-capacity choice. This 208/230V 1-Phase powerhouse delivers a nominal 53,729 BTU, making it ideal for maintaining critical cooling loads in older R22 refrigerant systems. As an HVAC OEM replacement part, it ensures direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with specifically engineered York, Luxaire, and Coleman equipment. This hermetic compressor is built to withstand high head pressures and demanding duty cycles typical of 4-ton to 5-ton split systems and package units. Utilizing a precision-machined internal configuration, it provides the volumetric efficiency needed to optimize heat transfer across the evaporator and condenser coils. For contractors looking for a York R22 compressor substitute or exact match, verifying the suction and discharge line diameters is essential to ensure a clean brazing process and proper oil return.

• OEM Compatibility: Precision-engineered for exact fit in York family equipment, reducing modification time during field installation.
• High Thermal Capacity: Rated at 53,729 BTU to handle peak summer loads without compromising system discharge temperatures.
• Single-Phase Power: Operates on standard 208/230V 1Ph, eliminating the need for three-phase electrical upgrades in residential settings.
• Optimized for R22: Specifically designed for the pressure-temperature relationships of R22 refrigerant, ensuring reliable lubrication and motor cooling.

Is the 015-04177-004 compatible with R407C?
While R407C is a common retrofit for R22, internal lubricants must be checked. This unit is primarily designed for R22. If switching to R407C, ensure the mineral oil is flushed and replaced with POE oil to prevent compressor failure.

What are the electrical requirements for this compressor?
This model requires a 208/230V single-phase power supply. Technicians should always verify the capacitor MFD rating and ensure the contactor's FLA/LRA ratings meet or exceed the compressor's specifications.

Does this unit include a crankcase heater or internal protection?
Most units in this series feature internal line break protection for thermal overload. A crankcase heater is recommended if the unit is located in areas where ambient temperatures drop below the evaporator temperature to prevent liquid slugging.
