Lid Corporation SBR120H16A Scroll Compressor 38400 Btu/h R-22

Product Description

The LID CORPORATION SBR120H16A is a Panasonic-technology scroll compressor rated at 38,400 BTU/h for use with R-22 refrigerant. It operates on a 208-230 volt, single-phase, 60 Hz power supply. Scroll compressors use two interleaved spiral elements to compress refrigerant, delivering quieter and more efficient operation compared to reciprocating designs. This unit is suited for residential and light commercial refrigerant systems including air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and cooling equipment. Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic.

The SBR120H16A is designed for environmental control applications where R-22 refrigerant is specified. Typical install scenarios include replacement service on existing R-22 systems such as split-system air conditioners, package units, and cooling equipment where the original compressor has failed. Because R-22 is a regulated refrigerant, this compressor is intended for use by certified technicians who hold the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for handling Class II refrigerants.

Installation Notes

Scroll compressor replacement must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding EPA Section 608 certification. Before beginning work, recover all R-22 refrigerant from the system per EPA regulations and de-energize the unit at the disconnect. Follow the original equipment manufacturer service procedures for oil charge, suction and discharge line connections, and electrical termination. Pressure-test and evacuate the system to the appropriate deep vacuum level before recharging with R-22.
