Tecumseh rg181ar-006-j7ln Compressor 10300 Btu/h R-22

Product Description

The TECUMSEH rg181ar-006-j7ln is a reciprocating refrigerant compressor rated at 10300 BTU/h, designed for single-phase operation at 115 volts. It is built to work with R-22 refrigerant, making it a direct-fit option for servicing existing residential cooling equipment that has not been converted to alternate refrigerants. Licensed HVAC technicians install this compressor during system rebuilds or compressor replacements where the refrigerant circuit is being maintained on R-22. The unit is a hermetic-style compressor suitable for light commercial and residential air conditioning applications.

This compressor is suited for residential and light commercial cooling systems operating on R-22 refrigerant. It fits applications where a 115-volt single-phase power supply is available and system capacity in the 10300 BTU/h range is required. Typical install scenarios include window air conditioning unit repairs, packaged terminal systems, and small split-system replacements where R-22 is still the active refrigerant charge. Technicians servicing older equipment will find this unit applicable where OEM-specification compressor replacement is needed without a refrigerant conversion.

Key Features

• Rated at 10300 BTU/h cooling capacity for residential and light commercial systems
• Operates on 115-volt, single-phase power — compatible with standard residential electrical supply
• Designed for R-22 refrigerant systems, supporting service work on existing non-converted equipment
• Hermetic reciprocating design provides reliable compression in low-to-medium capacity cooling circuits
• TECUMSEH manufacture supports consistent OEM-grade replacement specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compressor for residential and light commercial R-22 refrigerant cooling systems rated near 10300 BTU/h operating on 115-volt single-phase power.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician due to R-22 refrigerant handling requirements. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power before removing the existing compressor. Recover all refrigerant from the system using certified recovery equipment before opening the refrigerant circuit. Verify oil type compatibility and system pressures match compressor specifications before recharging the system.
