Copeland CR42K6E-TF5-875 Compressor

The Copeland CR42K6E-TF5-875 is a high-efficiency hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for commercial air conditioning and heat pump applications. Operating at 200-230V, 3-phase, 60Hz, this unit delivers a nominal capacity of 41,700 BTU/hr. Designed specifically for R-22 refrigerant systems, it utilizes POE oil to ensure proper lubrication and internal component longevity. This model serves as the direct technical replacement for legacy part numbers 55-22972-26S, S1-015-04775-001, and 55-25200-54S. Its robust internal suspension system minimizes vibration and sound carryover through the refrigerant lines, making it a reliable choice for HVAC system retrofits. For contractors performing an R22 compressor replacement, this 3.5-ton unit provides the precise displacement and torque requirements needed to maintain original system equilibrium. Ensure all filter driers are replaced and system acid tests are performed during installation to protect the new Copeland 3-phase compressor motor windings.

• Broad Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for multiple OEM part numbers, reducing field modification time during HVAC repair.
• Three-Phase Efficiency: Balanced electrical load reduces stress on contactors and provides high starting torque for demanding conditions.
• Internal Protection: Features internal line break motor protection to prevent damage from over-current or thermal overload.
• Compact Footprint: Standard mounting dimensions allow for seamless integration into existing 3.5-ton condensing units.

What oil is pre-charged in the CR42K6E-TF5-875?
This compressor is typically charged with POE (Polyolester) oil, which is compatible with R-22 and various HFC replacement blends, though system flushing is recommended if switching from mineral oil.

Can this compressor be used in single-phase residential applications?
No, this is a 230v 3-phase compressor. Attempting to run this on single-phase power will result in immediate motor failure.

Are there specific shipping requirements for this unit?
Given the weight and sensitive internal components, this unit requires specialized handling to ensure the internal mounting springs remain intact during transit.
