Copeland ZR48K5E-TFD-800 Compressor

The Copeland ZR48K5E-TFD-800 is an industrial-grade scroll compressor engineered for high-efficiency air conditioning applications. Providing a nominal capacity of 48,200 BTU/hr, this unit serves as the direct technical replacement for the legacy ZR48K5-TFD-800 model. Designed to operate on 460V, 3-phase power, it is optimized for R-22 and R-407C refrigerants. Featuring a displacement of 3.87 in³/rev and a 7.9 RLA (Rated Load Amps), this 3.75 HP compressor utilizes POE oil for enhanced lubrication and thermal stability. The 7/8" suction and 1/2" discharge sweat connections ensure standardized integration, while the 7.5" x 7.5" mounting pattern fits most commercial condenser footprints. Built with internal pressure relief and advanced scroll technology, this model maintains low sound levels and high volumetric efficiency in demanding environments. For technicians upgrading older systems, this OEM Copeland compressor provides a reliable, drop-in solution for maintaining system equilibrium.

Key Benefits for Contractors

• Universal Compatibility: Validated for both R-22 and R-407C systems, allowing for versatile servicing and equipment retrofits.
• Superior Efficiency: Optimized scroll design maximizes compression cycles with minimal moving parts compared to reciprocating units.
• Quiet Operation: Engineered with a smooth continuous compression process that reduces vibration and acoustic output.
• Proven Reliability: The ZR48K5E frame is a field-tested standard for commercial HVAC systems, ensuring predictable performance during peak loads.
• Easy Installation: Standard 7/8" x 1/2" sweat connections and a 34 oz. oil recharge capacity simplify field replacement.

Common Questions

Is the ZR48K5E-TFD-800 compatible with Mineral Oil?
No, this unit comes pre-charged with Polyol Ester (POE) oil. If you are using this in an R-22 system that previously used mineral oil, ensure a thorough system flush or multiple oil changes to maintain the necessary lubricant compatibility.

Does this unit require a start capacitor?
As a 3-phase compressor, this model does not require a start or run capacitor. However, it is essential to verify phased rotation to prevent damage to the scroll sets.

Can I use this compressor for refrigeration applications?
This specific model is designed for high-temperature air conditioning (A/C) applications and should not be used in medium or low-temperature refrigeration systems.
