Carrier P031-3223 Compressor

The Carrier P031-3223 Compressor is a high-performance reciprocating compressor designed for R-22 refrigerant air conditioning systems. Engineered for reliability in residential and light commercial HVACR applications, this direct replacement compressor delivers 32,000 BTU of cooling capacity and operates on a 230V, 1-phase, 60Hz electrical configuration. As a veteran-preferred OEM Carrier part, this model replaces older designations including P031-3222 and 34B0025N01, and is frequently found in Carrier, Bryant, and Payne condensing units such as model 561AJX036000AEAA.

Built with a hermetic seal for maximum leak protection, the P031-3223 features standard sweat connections (3/4" suction and 3/8" discharge) for straightforward field integration. For professional contractors, ensure a 45/370 MFD capacitor is utilized for proper start-up torque and operational efficiency. Note that this unit is a non-cancelable, non-returnable item due to its technical classification and shipping requirements. Field technicians should prioritize a thorough system flush and filter drier replacement during installation to maintain the integrity of the 32,000 BTUH compressor and overall system longevity.

• Genuine Carrier OEM Quality: Ensures exact fitment and BTU capacity matching without the need for extensive piping modifications.
• Optimized Performance: Specifically tuned for R-22 systems, providing 32,000 BTUH for consistent cooling loads.
• Durable Reciprocating Design: Tested for high-pressure AC compressor operation in demanding environments.
• Broad Compatibility: Cross-references with multiple legacy Carrier P031 series and AWF5532EXN models.

Is this compressor compatible with R-410A refrigeration systems?
No, the Carrier P031-3223 is specifically designed for R-22 refrigerant. Using it with non-compatible refrigerants or oils will result in immediate mechanical failure.

Does this unit come pre-charged with oil?
Yes, most reciprocating compressors of this class include a factory oil charge, but technicians must verify the oil level and type (typically mineral oil for R-22) before finalizing the suction line connections.

What capacitor is required for the P031-3223?
This 230V 1-phase compressor requires a 45 MFD, 370V run capacitor for optimal electrical performance.
