Copeland ZP28K5E-PFV-800 Compressor

The Copeland ZP28K5E-PFV-800 is an industry-standard 2.25 ton scroll compressor engineered specifically for high-efficiency residential and light commercial R-410A air conditioning systems. Operating on a 208/230V single-phase power supply, this 5th generation ZP series model delivers a nominal capacity of 27,900 BTU. As a veteran-preferred aftermarket hermetic compressor, it serves as the direct drop-in replacement for the R101907-10, ensuring minimal downtime during critical HVAC compressor replacement jobs. The -800 Bill of Material (BOM) highlights its readiness for the field, coming equipped with a 42-inch molded plug wiring harness, mounting grommets, and technical instructions. Technical specs include a 3/4-inch ODF suction connection and a 1/2-inch ODF discharge, utilizing POE oil for optimal lubrication and compatibility with chlorine-free refrigerants. Its scroll design significantly reduces moving parts compared to reciprocating models, improving reliability and lowering sound levels during high-load cycles.

• Direct Compatibility: Engineered as the exact replacement for R101907-10, eliminating the need for complex mounting or piping re-configurations.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Optimized for systems requiring up to 13 SEER performance, reducing amp draw under peak operating conditions.
• Superior Fluid Handling: Features redesigned internal scroll components that offer better resistance to occasional liquid slugging and debris.
• Quiet Operation: The smooth, continuous scroll movement provides lower vibration and decibel levels for noise-sensitive residential installations.
• Ready to Install: Includes the essential molded plug harness and mounting kit to streamline onsite swap-outs.

Common Questions

Is a start capacitor required for this model?
While the Copeland ZP28K5E-PFV-800 is a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor type designed to start under most system loads, we recommend using a hard start kit if the unit is paired with a non-bleed TXV or in long line-set applications to assist with starting torque.

Does this compressor come pre-charged with oil?
Yes, it is factory-charged with Polyolester (POE) oil. Always verify the oil level and type if you are performing a retro-fit or after a major system burnout to ensure no acid or moisture remains in the lines.

What are the critical steps for a successful installation?
To prevent premature failure, always braze with a low-pressure nitrogen purge to prevent oxidation, replace the liquid line filter drier, and pull a vacuum to at least 500 microns to ensure the R-410A system is completely dehydrated.
