Quick answer: The AE4440YGS compressor is a Tecumseh single-phase reciprocating compressor for commercial refrigeration systems that use R134a. It belongs to the AE4440Y family, a 1/3 HP class unit with a 10.33 cc displacement. Haste lists it under the alternate code AE-1359-E. Before you order, match the refrigerant, voltage, operating temperature and cooling capacity to your system.
If you service display coolers, beverage coolers or small cold rooms, you may need to replace an AE4440YGS compressor at some point. This guide covers the key specifications, the capacity you can expect and what to check before you order.
What Are the Specifications of the AE4440YGS Compressor?
The first six rows come from Haste’s product page. The rest are published figures for the wider AE4440Y family, so check them against the datasheet for your exact code.
| Item | Detail |
| Brand | Tecumseh |
| Model | AE4440YGS (alternate code AE-1359-E) |
| Type | Reciprocating |
| Refrigerant | R134a |
| Phase | Single-phase |
| Use | Commercial refrigeration |
| Power class (family) | 1/3 HP |
| Displacement (family) | 10.33 cc |
| Evaporating range (family) | -15 °C to 15 °C |
| Oil (family) | Polyolester (POE) |
The product page does not state the voltage. UAE mains is 230 V, 50 Hz, so read the voltage code on the compressor label before you order.
Which Refrigerant Does the AE4440YGS Compressor Use?
It is designed for R134a. Tecumseh also lists R513A for the AE4440Y family, but confirm that for your exact code. The oil is polyolester, so do not mix it with mineral oil or switch refrigerants without checking compatibility. If you are replacing a failed compressor, fit a new filter drier and check the system for debris and acid.
What Cooling Capacity Does It Deliver?
Capacity depends on the evaporating temperature. Tecumseh’s AE4440Y data gives an evaporating range of -15 °C to 15 °C. As a guide, a 230 V, 50 Hz AE4440Y listing tested to EN 12900 at 55 °C condensing shows:
| Evaporating temp | Capacity (kcal/h) | Approx. watts |
| -15 °C | 292 | 340 |
| 0 °C | 581 | 676 |
| 5 °C | 714 | 830 |
| 10 °C | 868 | 1,010 |
Capacity drops as the evaporating temperature falls, and also when the condensing temperature rises. Because the range stops at -15 °C, check the datasheet before using it on deep-freeze duty.
Where Is the AE4440YGS Compressor Used?
Haste lists display coolers and freezers, food storage, cold rooms and other R134a commercial refrigeration equipment. Medium and high temperature duty is the best fit.
How Do You Check It Fits Before You Order?
- Read the model code on the old compressor label and match it to AE4440YGS or AE-1359-E.
- Confirm the system uses R134a and POE oil.
- Confirm the voltage and frequency.
- Check the start relay, overload and capacitor suit the motor.
- Check the capacity at your evaporating and condensing temperatures.
- Check the tube connections and mounting.
In the UAE, summer heat above 45 °C raises condensing temperature. Keep the condenser clean and the fan working, or the compressor will run hotter and deliver less.
Is the AE4440YGS Compressor Available in the UAE?
Haste lists the AE4440YGS product page in its reciprocating compressors range, and it showed as in stock at the time of writing. Stock changes, so confirm before you order. Haste has branches in Deira (Dubai), Sharjah Industrial Area 6 and Mussafah (Abu Dhabi).
Frequently Asked Questions
What refrigerant does the AE4440YGS compressor use?
R134a.
Is the AE4440YGS compressor single-phase or three-phase?
It is single-phase.
What is AE-1359-E?
It is the alternate code Haste lists for the same Tecumseh compressor.
Can I use it in a freezer?
Check the datasheet first. The family’s evaporating range of -15 °C to 15 °C suits medium and high temperature duty. Deep freezing usually needs a low back pressure compressor.
Is the AE4440YGS compressor available in the UAE?
Haste lists it as in stock. Confirm current stock with the team before ordering.
