Copeland RFT42C1E-PFV-901 Compressor
The Copeland RFT42C1E-PFV-901 Compressor is a hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for low-temperature refrigeration applications. Operating at 208-230V, 1-phase power, this 3/4 HP unit utilizes R404A and R507 refrigerants to deliver a cooling capacity of 4,100 BTU/hr. Designed for the rigors of commercial duty, it features a displacement of 206.16 CFH (1.7 in³/rev) and operates with a rated load of 8.0 amps. This US-made compressor is factory-charged with 20 oz of polyol ester (POE) oil to ensure consistent lubrication and internal component protection. Physical installation is streamlined via sweat connections, specifically a 3/8" suction line and a 1/4" discharge line. With a standard 8.0" x 4.8" mounting base and a compact 8-inch height, it serves as a reliable drop-in HVACR replacement part for technicians servicing reach-in freezers and display cases.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Application Versatility: Optimized for low-temp environments using standard R404A/R507 refrigerants.
- Reliable Lubrication: Pre-filled with POE oil, specifically formulated for HFC refrigerant compatibility.
- Compact Footprint: Standardized mounting and 8" height facilitate easy integration into cramped mechanical compartments.
- Efficient Thermal Management: High-torque motor design ensures reliable start-ups under load in demanding commercial settings.
- Simplified Brazing: Durable sweat connections minimize leak paths compared to threaded alternatives.
What is the primary application for the RFT42C1E-PFV-901?
This model is specifically tuned for low-temperature commercial refrigeration, typically found in freezers and storage units requiring high reliability at low evaporating temperatures.
Can I use this compressor with R22?
No. This unit is designed for R404A and R507. Using incompatible refrigerants or mineral oils will lead to immediate mechanical failure and system contamination.
What equipment is required for installation?
As this unit uses sweat connections, you will need standard brazing equipment. Ensure a deep vacuum is pulled and polyol ester oil levels are verified after the initial run-in.
