Rcd ya16k1e-pfv-8a1 Hermetic Compressor 16000 Btu/h

Product Description

The RCD ya16k1e-pfv-8a1 is a single-phase hermetic compressor engineered for residential and light-commercial refrigerant compression in split-system and packaged cooling equipment. Rated at 16,000 BTU/h, it operates on R454B refrigerant at 208-230 volts, 60 Hz, 1-phase power. The hermetic design seals the motor and compression assembly in a single welded shell, protecting internal components from contamination and moisture. Licensed HVAC technicians install this compressor as a direct OEM-style replacement when the original unit fails due to electrical burnout, mechanical seizure, or refrigerant loss that has damaged the compressor internals.

This compressor is suited for cooling systems that have transitioned to A2L low-GWP refrigerants, specifically R454B. It fits residential and light-commercial split-system air conditioners and heat pumps operating at standard North American voltage and frequency. The 16,000 BTU/h capacity targets mid-range cooling loads typical of smaller tonnage systems. Installation is performed during compressor replacement service calls where the original unit is confirmed failed after proper system diagnostics including pressure testing and motor winding checks.

Key Features

• Rated for R454B refrigerant, an A2L low-GWP alternative to R410A
• 16,000 BTU/h cooling capacity for mid-range residential and light-commercial loads
• Hermetic construction seals motor and compressor in a single welded shell
• 208-230V, 60 Hz, single-phase electrical compatibility with standard North American supply
• OEM-style fit and form for direct replacement in compatible cooling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement hermetic compressor for single-phase split-system and packaged air conditioning equipment using R454B refrigerant at 208-230V, 60 Hz.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician with appropriate recovery equipment for A2L refrigerants. Recover all refrigerant from the system before opening any refrigerant circuit. De-energize and lock out the disconnect before handling electrical connections. Follow applicable mechanical codes and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation when brazing line connections and recharging the system.
