Key Observations
Refrigerant (R12):
The P14TY is designed for R12, an obsolete CFC refrigerant banned under the Montreal Protocol due to ozone depletion. Modern alternatives (e.g., R134a, R404A) require retrofitting or replacement.
Applications:
Likely used in medium-temperature refrigeration (e.g., commercial refrigerators, chillers) given its capacity and COP at -25°C evaporating temperature.
Efficiency (COP 1.73):
Lower COP compared to modern compressors, indicating higher energy consumption.
Replacement Considerations:
If retrofitting for alternative refrigerants, ensure compatibility with oil type (e.g., POE for HFCs) and system components.
Verify electrical specs (voltage, starting torque) for new installations.
Testing Conditions (CECOMAF/ASHRAE)
Evaporating Temp: -25°C (LBP testing for low-temperature applications).
Condensing Temp: 55°C.
Ambient Temp: 32°C.
Actionable Recommendations
For Maintenance:
Check oil levels and contamination if still using R12.
Inspect capacitors/relays (common failure points in CSIR motors).
For Replacement:
Consider modern equivalents (e.g., Panasonic/Copeland models for R404A/R134a).
Consult HVAC technician for system compatibility and retrofitting.
The C-BZ120 is a model of compressor manufactured by Kulthorn Kirby, a well-known company in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Here’s a breakdown of the details you provided:
Model: C-BZ120
Power: 1/6 horsepower (HP)
Wattage: 120W
Refrigerant: R12 (a chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant, now largely phased out due to environmental concerns)
Series: C-BZ or C-BZN (likely indicating variations or specific configurations of the compressor)
Brand: Kulthorn Kirby
Key Features:
1/6 HP: This indicates the motor’s power output, suitable for small refrigeration systems.
120W: The electrical power consumption of the compressor.
R12 Refrigerant: This compressor was designed for use with R12, which was commonly used in older refrigeration systems. Due to its ozone-depleting properties, R12 has been replaced by more environmentally friendly refrigerants like R134a or R600a.
MHBP: This likely stands for “Medium High Back Pressure,” indicating the compressor is designed for medium-temperature applications, such as commercial refrigeration or air conditioning systems.
Applications:
The C-BZ120 compressor is typically used in small refrigeration units, such as:
R600a compressor applicable with 2 Door~SxS refrigerators, LVS (Low Voltage Starting) R134a compressor applicable with a dehumidifier, showcase, LVS (Low Voltage Starting), 2 Door~SxS refrigerator
