Copeland RST80C1E-PFA-901 Hermetic Compressor 8210BTU R-404A 115V/1PH

The Copeland RST80C1E-PFA-901 is a hermetic compressor designed for residential and light commercial air conditioning applications. A hermetic compressor has its motor sealed within the same housing as the compressor compartment, simplifying installation and reducing leaks. This compressor uses R-404A refrigerant, a common choice for medium-temperature applications. In an air conditioning system, the compressor is the heart of the cooling process. By using electricity, it creates a pressure differential that draws in low-pressure, cool refrigerant vapor from the evaporator coil. It then compresses the vapor, which increases its temperature. The hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas then flows to the condenser coil where it releases heat to the surrounding air, and cools down again. This cycle continuously repeats, moving heat from inside your home to the outdoors.
