Copeland CR47KQE-TF5-970 Compressor

The Copeland CR47KQE-TF5-970 is a heavy-duty hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for high-temperature R-22 and R-407C air conditioning applications. Delivering 47,200 BTU/hr at standard ARI conditions, this 230V 3-phase compressor is a drop-in replacement for York and Johnson Controls numbers 015-04792-001, S1-015-04777-001, and 55-25100-13S. Its robust internal design features a displacement of 5.56 cubic inches per revolution, ensuring reliable refrigerant mass flow in demanding residential or light commercial systems. This model utilizes Polyolester (POE) oil, making it critical for technicians to verify total system chemistry when swapping out older mineral oil units. Designed for durability and thermal efficiency, the CR47KQE series utilizes a standard 7.5" x 7.5" mounting base and 1/2" ID discharge and 7/8" ID suction sweat connections for streamlined installation.

Key Technical Benefits

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Replaces common York and Rheem/Ruud part numbers without requiring extensive piping modifications.
• Optimized Power Management: Operates on 200-230V 60Hz 3-phase power, reducing start-up torque requirements and increasing electrical longevity.
• Broad Application Range: Rated for high-temperature evaporation, making it a versatile choice for standard air-cooled condensing units.
• Hermetic Reliability: The sealed reciprocating design minimizes leak points and provides high tolerance for liquid slugging during cycles.

Common Installation Questions

Is the CR47KQE-TF5-970 compatible with R-407C retrofits?
Yes, since this model is charged with POE oil, it is suitable for R-407C conversions provided the expansion valve and filter drier are sized correctly for the capacity shift.

What are the wiring requirements for the TF5 motor code?
The TF5 code indicates a 200/230V, 3-phase motor. Always verify that your phase monitor and contactor are rated for the 15.6 RLA (Rated Load Amps) of this 4-ton unit.

Can I use this to replace a mineral oil compressor?
While this unit matches the physical footprint, ensure the system is thoroughly flushed of old mineral oil to prevent lubrication issues when utilizing the POE oil pre-charged in this compressor.
