Product details
Compressor AWR5542EXN (AWZ5542EXN) 4-Leg 1PH R-22 Tecumseh
The Tecumseh AWR5542EXN compressor (also referenced as AWZ5542EXN) is a single-phase reciprocating compressor engineered for air-conditioning systems that use R-22 refrigerant. It offers broad operating capability across typical evaporating temperature ranges and delivers high start torque along with consistent performance under load. Its fan-cooled design and quality build make it suitable for medium-duty commercial refrigeration and HVAC applications.
Key Benefits
Designed for air-conditioning and refrigeration systems using R-22
Reciprocating compressor with high start torque for reliable starts
