Copeland ARE17C4E-IAA-901 Compressor

The Copeland ARE17C4E-IAA-901 is a high-efficiency hermetic reciprocating compressor specifically engineered for low temperature refrigeration and light commercial applications. Operating at 115V single phase, this unit delivers a nominal 1,740 BTU/hr capacity, making it a standard replacement for beverage coolers, reach-in freezers, and display cases. Optimized for R-134A refrigerant, the ARE17C4E-IAA-901 features a robust 3.6–4.2 RLA draw and a 26 LRA rating, ensuring reliable start-ups under various load conditions. The 5/16" suction and 1/4" discharge sweat connections allow for a standard brazing process, while the internal overload protection safeguards the motor against thermal spikes. Its POE oil charge ensures proper lubrication for HFC systems, maintaining high volumetric efficiency across an evaporating temperature range of 20°F to 45°F.

• Universal Mounting: The 6.5" x 4" mounting footprint fits most standard fractional horsepower compressor brackets.
• High Thermal Dissipation: The rugged steel housing is designed for superior heat rejection in tight mechanical compartments.
• Drop-in Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration into residential and light commercial refrigeration cycles using R-134A.
• Compact Form Factor: With a 22 lb shipping weight and 13.5" length, it is ideal for restricted refrigerated cabinet spaces.

What is the recommended start kit for this model?
The ARE17C4E-IAA-901 typically utilizes a CSR (Capacitive Start/Run) or CSIR (Capacitive Start/Inductive Run) configuration; always verify the electrical terminal layout for your specific 115V refrigeration application.

Can this compressor be used with R-12 or R-401A?
While originally designed for R-134A, compatibility depends on the oil type; since this unit is pre-charged with POE, it is optimized for modern HFC refrigerants and should not be used with older mineral oils unless the system is thoroughly flushed.

Is this unit suitable for high-back pressure (HBP) applications?
This hermetic compressor is rated for an evaporating temperature up to 45°F, allowing for medium and low temperature refrigeration flexibility in the field.
