Tecumseh AE1004E-212-J7 Compressor

The Tecumseh AE1004E-212-J7 is a hermetic reciprocating compressor (Model AE3425Y-AA1A) engineered for reliable performance in HBP/CBP (High/Commercial Back Pressure) applications. Operating on R134a refrigerant with a 115V, 1-phase, 60Hz power supply, this 1/4 HP compressor provides a steady 2852 BTU capacity. Technicians often select this model for reach-in coolers and prep tables where precise temperature control and intermittent duty cycles are constant requirements. Featuring Low Start Torque (LST) and an induction run (RSIR/CSIR) motor configuration, this unit is built for standard efficiency in commercial environments. The physical connections are industry-standard, utilizing a 0.3125" sweat (5/16" ODF) suction line and a 0.250" discharge line for straightforward brazing into existing copper loops. Its robust internal design ensures durability against the high discharge temperatures common in commercial refrigeration, making it a staple for field replacements and aftermarket repairs.

• Versatile Application: Optimized for HBP/CBP systems using R134a or R-513A, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of commercial cooling equipment.
• Precise Line Sizing: Features a 5/16" ODF suction and 1/4" discharge to match standard field piping, reducing the need for additional copper reducers.
• Compact Footprint: The AE-series frame is designed for tight mechanical compartments in food service and specialty refrigeration units.
• Thermal Stability: Engineered to handle evaporating temperatures ranging from 5°F to 59°F (-15°C to 15°C) without compromising efficiency.
• Reliable Starting: The LST motor provides consistent startups in systems where pressure can be equalized before the cycle begins.

Is this compressor compatible with R-513A?
Yes, contemporary technical data indicates this Tecumseh AE3425Y-AA1A model is rated for use with both R134a and R-513A refrigerants, provided the appropriate POE oil is utilized.

Can I use this for a low-temperature freezer application?
No, this unit is specifically rated for High/Commercial Back Pressure. Using it in a low-temp application will cause the motor to operate outside its designed torque and cooling parameters, leading to premature failure.

What oil comes pre-charged in the AE1004E-212-J7?
This hermetic compressor typically comes pre-charged with Polyolester (POE) oil, which is necessary for proper lubrication and moisture management in R134a systems.
