Tecumseh hermetic compressors are engineered to do specic air conditioning and refrigeration tasks. Hermetic compressors are designed for a particular evaporator temperature range and a specic refrigerant.
A. Evaporator Temperatures The key specication is the evaporator temperature of the system. Compressors which are operating outside their design evaporator temperature range can be expected to have poor pumping efciency and experience motor problems.
Tecumseh hermetic compressors are designed for one of the following evaporator temperature ranges shown in Table 2-2.
B. Refrigerant
Use only the serial label refrigerant when charging the system. Using a different refrigerant can lead to excess system pressure, damage to the compressor and an explosion. For example, using R-502 in a compressor designed for R-12 can lead to higher operating pressures that can overload the bearings and overwork the motor. Use of a refrigerant other than the serial label refrigerant will void the compressor warranty.
