Copeland ARE25C5E-IAA-901 Compressor

The Copeland ARE25C5E-IAA-901 is a 115V, single-phase hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for high-reliability in Low/Medium Temperature refrigeration applications. As a direct cross for the ARE27C3E-IAA-901, this unit is optimized for R-134a refrigerant, providing a cooling capacity ranging from 1,515 to 2500 BTU depending on the evaporating temperature. Designed for the rigors of commercial and residential service, it maintains stable operation within an evaporating range of -40°F to 10°F. The compressor features a 5/16" suction line and a 1/4" discharge stub for standard brazing, utilizing POE oil to ensure proper lubrication and compatibility with HFC systems. Technicians will find the 6.5" x 4" mounting footprint standard for a wide variety of reach-in coolers and specialized refrigeration equipment. This Copeland compressor is built with a robust steel housing for durability and consistent performance under high-demand cycles.

Key Benefits for Technicians

• Broad Compatibility: Serving as the primary replacement for the ARE27C3E-IAA-901, it simplifies inventory and field retrofits.
• Low-Temp Performance: Specifically designed to handle evaporating temperatures down to -40°F, making it ideal for frozen food storage and medical refrigeration.
• Compact Footprint: The hermetic reciprocating design allows for installation in tight mechanical compartments without sacrificing BTU output.
• Proven Reliability: Features heavy-duty internal components built to withstand the frequent cycling common in commercial kitchen environments.

Common Questions

Can I use this compressor to replace an older R-12 unit?
While designed for R-134a, this compressor uses POE oil. If retrofitting an older system, ensuring complete removal of mineral oil and verifying that the expansion valve is compatible with R-134a is critical for high-side stability.

What are the specific electrical requirements for the IAA motor code?
The IAA-901 designation indicates a 115V, 1-phase, 60Hz motor. Always verify that the run capacitor and start relay match the manufacturer’s specifications for this specific Copeland model to prevent motor burnout.

Does this unit arrive pre-charged with oil?
Yes, these compressors are typically shipped with a standard charge of Polyolester (POE) oil, though levels should always be verified per the system’s total piping length.
