Copeland ZR42K5E-TFD-800 Compressor

The Copeland ZR42K5E-TFD-800 is a high-efficiency hermetic scroll compressor engineered specifically for 460V, 3-phase air conditioning applications. Optimized for R-22 refrigerant, this legacy-series 42,200 BTU compressor serves as a direct replacement for various R-22 and R-407C systems, provided original oil compatibility is verified. With its patented scroll design featuring 70% fewer moving parts than traditional reciprocating models, the ZR42K5E-TFD-800 ensures quiet operation and exceptional reliability under high thermal loads.

This unit features 7/8-inch suction and 1/2-inch discharge stub/sweat connections, making it a standard fit for commercial rooftop units and large residential split systems. The TFD motor protection includes internal line-break technology to safeguard the 3-phase motor against overcurrent and temperature spikes. For technicians performing retrofits, this Copeland scroll compressor is compatible with POE or Mineral oil depending on the specific application requirements, ensuring a versatile solution for aging HVAC infrastructure.

• Broad Compatibility: Replaces common industrial models including ZR40K3E-TFD and ZR44K5E-TFD-830.
• Efficient Power Delivery: Operates on 460V at 60Hz with a low locked rotor amperage (LRA) of 48.0.
• Improved Reliability: Scroll technology minimizes internal suction and discharge valves, reducing potential leak points.
• Thermal Protection: Integrated motor protection prevents premature failure during phase loss or voltage drops.
• Compact Footprint: Standard mounting dimensions facilitate rapid swap-outs in tight mechanical rooms or enclosures.

Is the ZR42K5E-TFD-800 compatible with R-407C systems?
Yes, this model is rated for both R-22 and R-407C refrigerants, though technicians must ensure proper oil type (POE is typically required for R-407C) before startup.

Does this compressor include the electrical plug?
The Copeland ZR42K5E-TFD-800 typically requires a molded plug for electrical termination. Most service replacement kits include the mounting boots and basic hardware to facilitate standard installation.

What are the suction and discharge line sizes?
This compressor is equipped with a 7/8" suction line and a 1/2" discharge line, both utilizing sweat/stub connections for a secure seal.
