Copeland KAKB-011E-CAV-800 Compressor

The Copeland KAKB-011E-CAV-800 is an industrial-grade semi-hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered specifically for low-temperature refrigeration duty. Operating on 208/230V single-phase power, this K-body model utilizes R-404A refrigerant to deliver an ARI-rated cooling capacity of 4,360 BTU/hr. It is a preferred solution for service technicians maintaining walk-in freezers and reach-in cases where evaporating temperatures drop between -25°F and -40°F. The heavy-duty cast iron construction and rebuildable design offer a significant service life advantage over hermetic alternatives.

Designed with a 5/8" OD suction and 1/2" OD discharge flare connection, this compressor integrates seamlessly into existing racks or standalone condensing units. The internal inherent protection and 7.9 RLA rating ensure stable electrical performance under peak load. Whether you are performing a field replacement in a commercial kitchen or a cold storage facility, the Copeland K-Body compressor provides the high mass flow rates and thermal efficiency required for rigorous sub-zero applications.

Key Benefits:

• Low-Temp Specialists: Optimized for R-404A systems operating in the -40°F evaporating range without sacrificing volumetric efficiency.
• Contractor-Friendly Design: Features standard mounting footprints (8.19" x 6.38") and flare fittings for faster field installation and reduced brazing requirements.
• Durable Semi-Hermetic Build: The cast iron housing and precision-balanced crankshaft reduce vibration and allow for future mechanical servicing.
• High Torque Motor: The single-phase motor is designed to handle high start-up loads common in commercial refrigeration cycles.

Common Questions:

What oil is compatible with the KAKB-011E-CAV-800?
This unit is typically shipped with POE oil for R-404A compatibility. Always verify the oil type on the nameplate before commissioning the system to ensure compatibility with the existing lubricant.

Can this compressor be used in medium-temp applications?
The KAKB-011E-CAV-800 is specifically valved and wound for low-temperature envelopes. Using this model outside its designated evaporating temperature range may lead to motor overheating or premature mechanical failure.

Does it include the required electrical components?
While featuring internal inherent protection, technicians should verify the condition of the start capacitor and relay on the existing system to ensure proper starting torque and motor protection.
