Product Description
The BEVERAGE AIR 312-175d is a replacement compressor designed for commercial refrigeration equipment running on the R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. Rated at 837 BTU/h and built for 115-volt, 60 Hz single-phase power, this unit is the Tecumseh model TCW350U-DS6B configured for low-GWP R290 service. Commercial refrigeration technicians install this compressor when the original unit fails or loses efficiency. It is suited for light commercial applications such as reach-in coolers, back-bar units, and undercounter refrigerators where R290 systems are specified.
This compressor is intended for use in Beverage Air commercial appliances and other light commercial refrigeration systems that are factory-charged with R290 refrigerant. Because R290 is a flammable refrigerant, installations must comply with applicable safety codes and manufacturer guidelines. Technicians working on Beverage Air equipment should verify the refrigerant type and electrical supply before selecting this replacement unit. The Tecumseh TCW350U-DS6B designation confirms the OEM-equivalent specification.

- Rated at 837 BTU/h cooling capacity for light commercial refrigeration duty
- Operates on 115-volt, 60 Hz single-phase power — standard North American commercial supply
- OEM Tecumseh compressor model TCW350U-DS6B for direct replacement fit
- Designed for Beverage Air commercial appliance applications
Compatibility
This compressor is an OEM-equivalent replacement for Beverage Air commercial refrigeration equipment using R290 refrigerant and the Tecumseh TCW350U-DS6B compressor. Verify refrigerant type, voltage, and BTU rating against the nameplate of the unit being serviced before installation.
Installation Notes
R290 is a flammable refrigerant — installation must be performed by a technician certified to handle flammable refrigerants and must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal codes. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the unit before beginning compressor removal. Recover all refrigerant per EPA Section 608 regulations before opening the system; do not vent R290 to atmosphere. After installation, leak-check all connections and verify proper start-up per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
