Copeland RFT26C1E-CFA-901 Compressor

The Copeland RFT26C1E-CFA-901 is a high-efficiency hermetic compressor engineered for low-temperature commercial refrigeration applications. Operating on 115V, single-phase power, this unit delivers a nominal capacity of 2,500 BTU/HR and is optimized for use with R-404A refrigerant. As the direct replacement for the legacy RFT26C1E-CAA-901, it features a rugged Copelaweld design and a Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) motor with internal inherent protection to ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. This 1/2 HP refrigeration compressor utilizes POE oil and includes 3/8" suction and 1/4" discharge sweat connections. Technicians can rely on its consistent evaporation performance, making it a standard choice for reach-in coolers, ice machines, and display cases requiring precise thermal management.

Key Benefits

• Direct Drop-in Replacement: Seamlessly replaces the discontinued RFT26C1E-CAA-901 model with identical footprints and terminal configurations.
• Industrial Durability: Built with a hermetic seal and internal inherent protection to mitigate motor stress during high-load cycles.
• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: While optimized for R-404A, it is also technically compatible with R-448A and R-449A systems.
• Efficient Low-Temp Performance: Specifically designed for low-temperature applications, maintaining stable suction pressures and high volumetric efficiency.

Common Questions

What refrigerant does the RFT26C1E-CFA-901 use?
This model is primarily rated for R-404A and comes pre-charged with Polyolester (POE) oil. It is also suitable for newer low-GWP blends like R-448A and R-449A in specific retrofit scenarios.

Is this a direct replacement for the CAA-901?
Yes, the RFT26C1E-CFA-901 is the manufacturer-designated upgrade for the old RFT26C1E-CAA-901, offering improved motor efficiency while maintaining the same mechanical specs.

What are the electrical requirements for installation?
It requires a 115V/1Ph/60Hz electrical supply and uses flag terminals for wiring. Ensure your start components are compatible with the CSCR motor design.
