Copeland RST97C1-PFV-901 Compressor

The Copeland RST97C1-PFV-901 is a high-efficiency hermetic reciprocating compressor engineered for extended medium-temperature refrigeration. Operating at 208-230V, 1-phase power, this unit delivers a nominal 15,400 BTU/Hr capacity, making it a reliable drop-in solution for R-22 systems. Designed for the demands of food service and light commercial cooling, it features sweat connections (1/2" suction, 3/8" discharge) for secure integration into existing lines. This 1.5 HP motor offers a locked rotor amperage (LRA) of 51.0 and utilizes POE oil to maintain internal lubrication and thermal stability. As a veteran-grade refrigeration compressor replacement, it provides high-torque starting capabilities essential for consistent evaporator performance. Whether you are servicing reach-in coolers or walk-in boxes, the RST97C1-PFV-901 compressor ensures optimized mass flow and pressure handling for stable system operation.

• High-Torque Performance: Specifically designed for extended medium temperature applications to handle variable load conditions effectively.
• R-22 Compatibility: Serves as a direct mechanical match for legacy Copelaweld RST series models, reducing field modification time.
• Robust Internal Protection: Features internal inherent motor protection to prevent winding failure during thermal overloads.
• Optimized Lubrication: Ships with 22 oz. of Polyolester (POE) oil, facilitating better moisture management and compatibility with modern refrigerant blends if retrofitted.

What are the mounting dimensions for the RST97C1-PFV-901?
This model utilizes a standard 8.0" x 4.8" mounting pattern, fitting most universal refrigeration base plates.

Can this compressor be used with refrigerants other than R-22?
While optimized for R-22, the RST series architecture and POE oil charge often support R-404A or R-407C applications; however, you must verify the specific expansion valve and pressure control settings for the alternative gas.

Is a start kit required for this single-phase model?
Yes, it is highly recommended to use the manufacturer-specified start capacitor and relay to ensure reliable starting under high head pressure or low voltage conditions.
