Key Observations
- Refrigerant (R12):
- The P14TY is designed for R12, an obsolete CFC refrigerant banned under the Montreal Protocol due to ozone depletion. Modern alternatives (e.g., R134a, R404A) require retrofitting or replacement.
- Applications:
- Likely used in medium-temperature refrigeration (e.g., commercial refrigerators, chillers) given its capacity and COP at -25°C evaporating temperature.
- Efficiency (COP 1.73):
- Lower COP compared to modern compressors, indicating higher energy consumption.
- Replacement Considerations:
- If retrofitting for alternative refrigerants, ensure compatibility with oil type (e.g., POE for HFCs) and system components.
- Verify electrical specs (voltage, starting torque) for new installations.
Testing Conditions (CECOMAF/ASHRAE)
- Evaporating Temp: -25°C (LBP testing for low-temperature applications).
- Condensing Temp: 55°C.
- Ambient Temp: 32°C.
Actionable Recommendations
- For Maintenance:
- Check oil levels and contamination if still using R12.
- Inspect capacitors/relays (common failure points in CSIR motors).
- For Replacement:
- Consider modern equivalents (e.g., Panasonic/Copeland models for R404A/R134a).
- Consult HVAC technician for system compatibility and retrofitting.
