Copeland 566-1196-03 Condenser Coil

The Copeland 566-1196-03 Condenser Coil is the OEM replacement condenser coil that Copeland lists as the direct replacement for 566-1196-01. If you are cross-referencing an older 566-1196-01 coil, 566-1196-03 is the current number to order. The condenser coil is where the system rejects heat: hot, high-pressure discharge gas from the compressor flows through the coil, gives up its heat, and condenses to liquid refrigerant before it moves on to the metering device.

A coil that has failed shows itself in a few ways: refrigerant leaks (oil staining on the tubing or fins, or a leak detector hit), plugged, crushed or corroded fins that choke airflow, high head pressure, high compressor amp draw, poor capacity and compressor overheating. If the coil is leaking, replacement is the lasting repair. A proper change-out means recovering the refrigerant, brazing with a nitrogen purge, installing a new filter drier, pulling a deep vacuum and weighing in the charge to the nameplate. Before ordering, compare your original coil to this listing for connection sizes, tube layout, fin style and overall dimensions, and carry the 566-1196-01 or 566-1196-03 number from the old coil or the unit parts list.

• Restores Capacity: Cures the high head pressure and lost capacity caused by a plugged or failed coil.

Common Questions

• Does this replace 566-1196-01? Yes. Copeland lists 566-1196-03 as the direct replacement for 566-1196-01.
• What are the signs I need a new coil? Refrigerant leaks, oil-stained tubing, crushed or corroded fins, high head pressure and reduced capacity.
• What else should I replace with it? Install a new filter drier, and evacuate the system before recharging so moisture does not enter with the new coil.
