Copeland ZR48K5E-TF5-800 Compressor

The Copeland ZR48K5E-TF5-800 is a high-efficiency scroll compressor engineered for commercial and residential air conditioning and chiller applications. Operating at 200-230V, 3-phase power, this unit delivers a nominal capacity of 48,000 BTU/hr. It is optimized for R-407C refrigerant but maintains compatibility with R-134a and R-22 systems, provided the correct Polyolester (POE) oil is used. This model serves as a direct 68J66 replacement, featuring a standard 7.5" x 7.5" mounting pattern and Rotalock connections for streamlined field installation. The scroll technology provides superior liquid handling capabilities and reduced sound levels compared to traditional reciprocating units. Contractors should verify electrical phase rotation during startup to ensure internal scroll sets engage correctly. This 4-ton refrigeration compressor is built for high-duty cycle environments, ensuring reliable mass movement of refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils.

• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Optimized for HFC R407C and suitable for R134a retrofits.
• Direct Drop-in Replacement: Exact match for 68J66, eliminating the need for line set modifications.
• Efficient Power Profile: 3-phase 230V motor provides balanced load distribution and lower amperage draw.
• Durable Scroll Design: Minimal moving parts reduce mechanical wear and improve volumetric efficiency.
• POE Lubrication: Pre-charged with Polyolester oil to support modern environmentally friendly refrigerants.
