Copeland CR47KQE-PFV-970 Compressor

The Copeland CR47KQE-PFV-970 is a high-performance hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for residential and light commercial air conditioning and heat pump systems. Delivering a robust 47,000 BTU capacity, this 208-230V single-phase motor is optimized for R22 refrigerant and is also compatible with R407C when paired with the proper POE oil. This 6th-generation CR-series model serves as the industry-standard direct replacement for Lennox 68J65 and 74H12 units, ensuring a seamless fit for contractors during field retrofits. Utilizing a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor and internal line-break protection, it maintains reliable operation under varied load conditions. Its 4-13/16" x 8" mounting footprint and sweat connections are designed for straightforward integration into existing liquid and suction lines. For veteran technicians, this unit offers the proven durability of the Copeland CR family, known for managing liquid slugging and high-head pressure demands in demanding HVACR environments.

• Drop-In Compatibility: Engineered as the specific HVAC replacement compressor for legacy part numbers 68J65 and 74H12.
• Dual Refrigerant Support: Versatile design allows for use in R22 systems or retrofitted R407C applications.
• Enhanced Motor Protection: Features internal inherent protection to prevent winding failure due to overheating or electrical surges.
• Proven Reciprocating Performance: High volumetric efficiency with a 4.95 cu-in/rev displacement for consistent cooling capacity.
• Compact Footprint: Standard mounting dimensions allow for quick installation in tight condenser cabinets.

Is the CR47KQE-PFV-970 compatible with R407C?
Yes, while originally designed for R22, this compressor is charged with POE oil, making it suitable for R407C retrofits provided the system is properly evacuated and the filter drier is replaced.

Does this unit include the starting components?
This model typically requires a run capacitor (check specifications for MFD rating) and may require a start kit if high starting torque is needed for hard-start conditions.

Can I use this to replace a Copeland Scroll (ZR) compressor?
Technicians should only replace like-for-like technologies. While capacity may match, the piping and mounting requirements for reciprocating and scroll compressors differ significantly.
