Carrier ya36k1e-pfv-8a1 Scroll Compressor 36000 Btu/h

Product Description

The Carrier ya36k1e-pfv-8a1 is a scroll compressor designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems using R454B refrigerant. Rated at 36,000 BTU/h, it operates on a single-phase, 208-230 volt, 60 Hz power supply. Scroll compressors use an orbiting scroll mechanism to compress refrigerant, delivering quieter operation and higher efficiency compared to reciprocating designs. This is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from Carrier, making it a direct fit for systems originally equipped with this compressor. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation in refrigerant-containing systems.

This compressor is suited for split-system air conditioners and heat pumps running the low-global-warming-potential refrigerant R454B. At 3 tons of cooling capacity, it fits equipment in the residential and small commercial range. Typical installation scenarios include compressor changeouts on existing Carrier outdoor condensing units where the original compressor has failed or reached end of service life. All work involving R454B refrigerant requires EPA Section 608 certification.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the outdoor unit before beginning any service work.
