Copeland ZR54K5E-PFV-800 Compressor

The Copeland ZR54K5E-PFV-800 is an industry-standard hermetic scroll compressor engineered specifically for high-efficiency air conditioning and light commercial heat pump applications. Delivering a nominal 53,500 BTU (4.5 tons) at standard rating conditions, this 208-230V, single-phase unit is designed to handle rigorous duty cycles with high reliability. It features a 7/8 inch suction and 1/2 inch discharge sweat connection, facilitating a clean integration into existing refrigerant lines. As a versatile R22 service compressor, it is also optimized for modern R407C refrigerant systems when used with the factory-charged Polyolester (POE) oil. This model serves as the direct ZR54K5E-PFV-800 cross reference for legacy parts including B9266294AS and ZR54K5-PFV-800. Technical professionals value this series for its internal inherent protection and axial/radial compliance, which provides superior resistance to liquid slugging and ensures consistent performance during thermal expansion across the evaporator coil.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Charged with POE lubricant to support both HCFC (R-22) and HFC (R-407C) applications.
• Reduced Mechanical Wear: Features approximately 70% fewer moving parts than traditional reciprocating models, increasing uptime.
• Quiet Operation: Optimized scroll flat design and redesigned shell minimize vibration and acoustic output in residential settings.
• Direct Drop-in Fit: Standardized mounting footprint and electrical terminal orientation for fast field replacement.
• High Debris Tolerance: Patented scroll compliance allows the compressor to handle small contaminants without critical failure.

Is the ZR54K5E-PFV-800 compatible with R-22 systems?
Yes, this unit is widely used as a service replacement for R-22 systems. However, because it contains POE oil, ensure the system is thoroughly evacuated and the filter drier is replaced to manage moisture effectively.

What are the electrical requirements for this compressor?
This model operates on 208-230V single-phase (1Ph) 60Hz power, typically drawing a Rated Load Amperage (RLA) of approximately 28.2A and a Locked Rotor Amperage (LRA) of 146A.

Does this unit require a start kit?
While Copeland scroll technology allows for unloaded starts, a hard start kit (capacitor and relay) is often recommended when installing in systems with non-balanced pressures or long line sets.
