Compressor Tefcold SpareParts 11715

A compressor is the heart of any refrigeration or freezing appliance, circulating refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet. In the FTH60 R290, a motor drives a piston or scroll mechanism that compresses the refrigerant gas, raising its pressure and temperature. The hot, pressurised gas then flows to the condenser, where it releases heat to the surrounding air and condenses into a liquid. This liquid refrigerant moves through the expansion valve, cooling rapidly before entering the evaporator inside the cabinet. There it absorbs heat from the stored food or drink, evaporating back into a gas and completing the cycle. The R290 refrigerant used here is a hydrocarbon with low global-warming potential, chosen for its efficiency and environmental profile in professional settings.

Installation follows a standard sequence for sealed compressors. The unit is mounted on rubber grommets to isolate vibration, then connected to the refrigeration circuit via flare or brazed joints. Electrical supply is wired to the terminal block, matching the voltage and phase specified for the original equipment. Once the system is evacuated and charged with the correct mass of R290 refrigerant, the compressor starts automatically under thermostat or controller command, maintaining the set cabinet temperature without further operator intervention.

The FTH60 R290 is built as a direct replacement for selected Tefcold refrigeration and freezing units. Its construction centres on a hermetically sealed steel shell that houses the motor and compression mechanism, protecting them from contaminants and moisture. The refrigerant charge is pre-set at the factory, eliminating the need for field adjustment. Connection ports are positioned for straightforward integration into existing pipework, and the mounting footprint matches the original compressor it replaces.

This compressor fits specific Tefcold refrigeration and freezing models designed for R290 refrigerant. It is listed in the Tefcold spare parts catalogue under refrigeration components, ensuring compatibility with the manufacturer's recommended service schedules and system requirements.
