Copeland CR20K6E-PFV-925 Compressor

The Copeland CR20K6E-PFV-925 is a professional-grade hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for high-efficiency residential and light commercial air conditioning applications. Delivering 20,000 BTU of cooling capacity, this unit is specifically designed for 208/230V single-phase power systems. As a direct replacement for CR20K6E-PFV-875, it simplifies field retrofits by maintaining identical cooling performance and physical footprint. The motor is optimized for R22 refrigerant, making it a critical component for maintaining legacy systems where reliability is paramount. Featuring sweat connections for secure brazing and a robust internal design, this 1.75 HP equivalent compressor is built to handle standard evaporation temperatures ranging from 20°F to 45°F. For contractors overseeing mid-capacity HVAC repairs, this model provides the necessary torque and thermal management to ensure steady system cycling under peak load conditions.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Broad Compatibility: Serving as the primary drop-in replacement for CR20K6E-PFV-875, it reduces installation time and labor costs.
• Optimized Performance: Engineered for R-22 systems, ensuring internal seals and lubricants are compatible with mineral oil or specified synthetic blends.
• Durable Hermetic Design: The fully sealed housing protects internal motor windings from environmental contaminants, extending the service life of the 20k BTU compressor.
• Standardized Electrical: Operates on a standard 208/230V 1-PH configuration, compatible with most residential service panels and contactors.

Common Installation Questions:

Is the CR20K6E-PFV-925 compatible with R-407C?
While originally designed for R22, these hermetic models can often be used with R-407C provided the mineral oil is thoroughly flushed and replaced with POE oil. Always verify the specific lubricant requirements of the -925 bill of materials before conversion.

What is the difference between the -925 and the -875 versions?
The CR20K6E-PFV-925 is the current production standard, serving as the direct functional and dimensional replacement for the discontinued -875 version, requiring no Piping or mounting modifications.

Does this compressor include a start kit?
This model typically requires a run capacitor (35/370 MFD); however, for high-head pressure starts or low-voltage environments, a hard start kit is highly recommended to protect the motor windings during the inrush current phase.
