Copeland ARE51C4-CAA-901 Compressor

The Copeland ARE51C4-CAA-901 is a high-performance hermetic reciprocating compressor specifically engineered for high-temperature refrigeration applications. Operating on 115V single-phase power, this unit delivers a nominal capacity of 5,644 BTU/hr. Originally designed for R-12 refrigerant, technicians frequently utilize this model for localized cooling systems and reach-in units. Its robust design features a displacement that ensures steady mass flow and optimal thermal management under high-load conditions. The ARE51C4-CAA-901 is an essential HVACR replacement part for maintaining system integrity in legacy commercial setups. This compressor provides reliable low-pressure suction capabilities and consistent discharge pressures required for precise temperature control. When sourcing a Copeland 1/2 HP compressor, this model is preferred for its standardized footprint, facilitating straightforward installation in cramped mechanical compartments. Integrating this commercial refrigeration compressor ensures your equipment meets original performance curves without excessive vibration or decibel levels during the duty cycle.

• Direct Fit Compatibility: Standardized mounting and suction/discharge porting reduce labor time during retrofits.
• High Thermal Efficiency: Engineered for high-temperature applications, ensuring reliable heat rejection and compressor longevity.
• Proven Hermetic Design: The sealed reciprocating architecture minimizes leak points and protects internal components from contaminants.
• Optimized 115V Operation: Designed specifically for North American electrical standards in commercial food service and light industrial environments.

What are the primary applications for the Copeland ARE51C4-CAA-901?
This model is typically found in high-temperature reach-in coolers, vending machines, and small-scale commercial refrigeration systems requiring consistent BTU output.

Can this compressor be used with alternative refrigerants?
While originally rated for R-12, technicians often use this unit with compatible R-12 replacements or retrofit blends, provided the lubricant and expansion valves are verified for compatibility.

What are the electrical requirements for installation?
It requires a dedicated 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power supply. Proper capacitor sizing is critical for ensuring correct starting torque and motor protection.
