Compressor Tefcold SpareParts 11739

A compressor is the heart of any refrigeration cycle, moving refrigerant gas under pressure to transfer heat out of the cabinet. In this closed loop, the compressor draws low-pressure vapour from the evaporator, squeezes it to raise its temperature and pressure, then sends it to the condenser where the heat is released. The cooled, high-pressure liquid then expands through a valve, dropping its temperature further before it re-enters the evaporator to absorb more heat from the stored food. Without the compressor, the cycle would stall and the cabinet would warm.

The HXL170 A R600a unit is built for continuous duty in professional cold rooms, display counters and under-counter fridges. It runs on the hydrocarbon refrigerant R600a, which is non-toxic, has zero ozone-depletion potential and a very low global-warming potential, making it a standard choice for modern refrigeration equipment.

As a spare part, the compressor is supplied without oil or fittings; these must be transferred from the original unit or replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions. Installation requires a qualified refrigeration engineer to ensure correct pressure settings, leak-free joints and safe electrical connections. Once fitted, the compressor operates automatically, controlled by the thermostat of the host appliance.

The unit is designed to fit specific Tefcold refrigeration models; compatibility should be confirmed against the original compressor's article number or the equipment's service manual before ordering.
