Copeland RFT29C1E-CAA-901 Compressor

The Copeland RFT29C1E-CAA-901 is a high-efficiency hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for low-temperature refrigeration applications. Operating on 115V single-phase power, this model delivers a nominal 3000 BTU/hr capacity specifically optimized for R-404A refrigerant. Designed for reliability in commercial reach-ins and display cases, the RFT series utilizes a robust internal suspension system to minimize vibration and decibel levels during high-load cycles. This fractional horsepower compressor features a compact footprint, making it a standard drop-in for technicians performing field replacements on OEM equipment. With its POE oil charge and high starting torque motor, it ensures consistent oil return and reliable startups even under challenging ambient conditions. When swapping this unit, ensure your liquid line filter drier is replaced and the system is evacuated to 500 microns to maintain the integrity of the low-temp refrigeration cycle.

Key Benefits

• Optimized for R-404A high-pressure applications in low-temperature environments.
• 115V 1-Phase configuration allows for integration into standard commercial kitchen circuits.
• 3000 BTU Cooling Capacity provides precise thermal management for medium and small footprint units.
• Durable Hermetic Design reduces leak potential and extends service life in demanding field conditions.
• Compact RFT Chassis ensures compatibility with a wide range of reach-in coolers and freezers.

Common Questions

What is the primary application for the RFT29C1E?
This compressor is specifically designed for low-temperature commercial refrigeration systems, typically found in reach-in freezers and ice machines requiring a 3000 BTU rating.

Can I use R-134a or R-22 with this compressor?
No, this model is specifically valved and charged for R-404A performance. Using alternative refrigerants can lead to motor failure or insufficient mass flow.

What type of oil is used in the RFT29C1E-CAA-901?
It comes factory-charged with Polyolester (POE) oil, which is required for compatibility with HFC refrigerants like R-404A.
