Copeland KAKA-020E-TAC-800 Compressor

The Copeland KAKA-020E-TAC-800 is a rugged, 2 HP semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for high, medium, and low-temperature commercial refrigeration applications. Delivering a nominal 12,140 BTU/hr capacity, this 230V 3-phase compressor is a versatile industry workhorse compatible with various refrigerants, including R404A, R507, and R22 (with proper oil consideration), though it is legacy-optimized for R502. Its accessible semi-hermetic design allows for field serviceability of internal components, providing a significant advantage over disposable hermetic units in critical cold-chain environments.

Designed for heavy-duty cycling, the KAKA-020E displacement of 4.2 cubic feet per minute (CFM) ensures rapid pulldown and stable temperature maintenance. This Copelametic compressor features external inherent protection and is typically configured with a 7/8" sweat suction line and a 1/2" flare discharge. Whether you are performing a compressor replacement in a supermarket rack or a standalone walk-in cooler, this model provides the reliable lift and mass flow required by professional contractors for long-term system integrity.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Broad application range across R404A, R22, and R507 refrigeration systems.
• Serviceable Design: The semi-hermetic housing allows technicians to access the valve plate and motor windings for repair or maintenance.
• Optimal Performance: Provides 12,140 BTU of cooling power at standardized 208-230V 3-phase electrical configurations.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh operating conditions of commercial kitchens and industrial refrigeration.

• Can I use this as an R404A replacement? Yes, the KAKA-020E-TAC-800 is frequently utilized in R404A systems, provided the lubricant is compatible with the system's existing oil charge.
• Does this require a specific contactor? It is recommended to use a high-quality definite purpose contactor sized for the 50.0 Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) and 6.8 Rated Load Amps (RLA) of this motor.
• Is the oil pre-charged? Most units ship with a standard oil charge; however, technicians should always verify the level at the sight glass and ensure compatibility with the system refrigerant before commissioning.
