Johnson Controls PLT333-12R Faceplate

The Copeland ZP31K5E-PFV-800 is an industrial-grade R-410A scroll compressor engineered for residential and light commercial air conditioning applications. Delivering 31,100 BTU/hr at standard ARI conditions, this 2.5-ton nominal unit operates on a 208/230V, single-phase, 60Hz power supply. Built on the 5th generation ZPK5 platform, it utilizes a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor designed to start under any system load without the need for additional start components. The internal design features 70% fewer moving parts than traditional reciprocating models, significantly reducing mechanical wear and operational noise (68-73 dBA). With a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of up to 10.1, it provides a reliable drop-in solution for 13 SEER and higher systems. This bill-of-material 800 package includes the necessary 42-inch molded plug wiring harness and mounting hardware for immediate installation. The compressor is pre-charged with 25 ounces of Polyol Ester (POE) oil to ensure proper lubrication within high-pressure HFC refrigerant cycles.

Key Benefits

• High-Efficiency Performance: Specifically optimized for R-410A refrigerant systems, achieving up to 10.1 EER for reduced energy consumption.
• Enhanced Reliability: The patented Copeland Scroll technology minimizes mechanical failure by eliminating complex suction and discharge valves.
• Simplified Installation: Features a 3/4-inch stub suction and 1/2-inch stub discharge for standard brazing, including a 42-inch molded plug.
• Robust Motor Protection: Equipped with internal inherent protection to prevent winding damage from thermal overload or overcurrent (79A LRA).

Common Questions

Can I use this compressor in an R-22 system?
No. The ZP31K5E-PFV-800 is specifically designed for R-410A. Using it with R-22 or mineral oil will lead to immediate lubrication failure and system contamination.

Does this unit require a start capacitor?
While the PSC motor is designed to start under load, a run capacitor (typically 45-50 µF / 370V) is required for operation but is not included with the compressor.

Is a filter drier replacement necessary during installation?
Yes. To avoid moisture-related copper plating and acid buildup, you must install a new liquid line filter drier and evacuate the system to at least 500 microns before charging.
