Nidec-Embraco NEK2134GK1 Compressor

The Nidec-Embraco NEK2134GK1 Compressor is a high-performance 1/2 HP low back pressure (LBP) compressor engineered for commercial refrigeration systems utilizing R404A refrigerant. Operating at 115V, 1 Phase, 60Hz, this hermetic reciprocating unit delivers a cooling capacity of approximately 1,600 BTU/hr under standard LBP conditions. Designed with an HST (High Starting Torque) motor, it is optimized for systems requiring expansion valve (TXV) control, ensuring reliable starts against unequalized pressures. This aspera compressor replacement features a displacement of 12.11 cc and utilizes POE oil, making it a reliable drop-in solution for reach-in coolers, freezers, and prep tables. For field service technicians, the NEK2134GK1 provides a durable thermal management solution with a compact footprint and high efficiency for demanding HVACR refrigeration repair projects.

Key Benefits

• High Starting Torque (HST) motor design ensures reliable operation in commercial systems with TXV applications.
• Optimized for R404A and R507 refrigerants, providing high-efficiency cooling in low back pressure environments.
• Robust construction from Nidec-Embraco ensures long-term mechanical reliability in heavy-duty commercial equipment.
• Standardized mounting footprint and 115V electrical configuration facilitate faster field installations and retrofits.

Common Questions

Is the NEK2134GK1 compatible with capillary tube or expansion valve systems?
Due to its High Starting Torque (HST) motor, this compressor is specifically designed to handle the pressure differentials found in systems using an expansion valve, though it can also be used in capillary tube systems.

What oil type is used in this compressor?
This unit is pre-charged with Polyolester (POE) oil, which is required for compatibility with R404A and R507 HFC refrigerants.

Can this unit replace other 1/2 HP LBP compressors?
Yes, often cross-referenced with various 1/2 HP R404A units, but technicians should always verify technical specifications and cabinet displacement before installation.
