Rcd ya21k1e-pfv-8a1 Hermetic Compressor 21000 Btu/h

Product Description

The RCD ya21k1e-pfv-8a1 is a hermetic refrigerant compressor designed for residential and light-commercial split-system air conditioning applications. It operates on R454B refrigerant, runs at 208-230 volts, 60 Hz, single-phase power, and delivers 21000 BTU/h of cooling capacity. The compressor maintains stable refrigerant compression throughout the refrigeration circuit, supporting consistent system efficiency and reliable cooling output. This is a genuine OEM-grade replacement component installed by licensed HVAC technicians during compressor changeouts or system rebuilds. Its sealed hermetic design eliminates external shaft seals, reducing the potential for refrigerant leaks over the service life of the unit.

This compressor is suited for single-phase split-system cooling equipment using the R454B low-GWP refrigerant. R454B is a mildly flammable A2L refrigerant increasingly used in modern high-efficiency residential and light-commercial systems. Installations should follow manufacturer guidelines and all applicable codes for A2L refrigerant handling. The unit measures 19.5 inches long by 15.5 inches wide by 19.75 inches tall, making dimensional confirmation important before ordering as a replacement for an existing unit in a tight equipment cabinet.

Key Features

• 21000 BTU/h cooling capacity for residential and light-commercial applications
• R454B refrigerant compatibility for low-GWP system designs
• 208-230V, 60 Hz, single-phase electrical configuration
• Hermetic sealed design minimizes refrigerant leak points
• OEM-grade replacement part for reliable, long-term system performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hermetic compressor replacement for single-phase R454B split-system air conditioning equipment. Verify dimensional and electrical specifications against the existing unit before installation.

Installation Notes

Hermetic compressor replacement must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician with experience in A2L refrigerant handling procedures. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power and recover all system refrigerant before removing the failed compressor. Follow applicable mechanical and refrigerant safety codes, including ASHRAE 15 and local jurisdiction requirements for A2L refrigerants. Do not reuse old refrigerant oil or bypass required leak testing after system reassembly.
