The FFU130HAX is a solid hermetic reciprocating compressor specifically designed for refrigeration applications with low to medium back pressure. In addition, the manufacturer builds this compressor to deliver reliable and stable cooling performance under high load conditions, while ensuring efficient operation with R-134a refrigerant. Moreover, it offers a nominal evaporating temperature range of –35°C to –5°C (-31°F to 23°F), making the EMBRACO Compressor FFU130HAX 1/3+HP, 220-240V, R134A suitable for demanding low-temperature systems.
It operates at a nominal voltage of 115–127 volts, 60 hertz, single phase, making it suitable for commercial refrigeration equipment, freezers, and similar cooling systems.
Application and Operating Conditions
Furthermore, the FFU130HAX provides strong low back pressure (LBP) capability and supports medium-temperature operation. It can also operate in ambient temperatures between 32°C (90°F) and 43°C (110°F); therefore, it delivers excellent versatility across different environmental conditions. As a result, the EMBRACO Compressor FFU130HAX 1/3+HP, 220-240V, R134A remains a dependable choice for various commercial refrigeration applications.
The compressor utilizes either a capillary tube or an expansion valve for installation and supports both configurations. It uses capacitor start induction run (CSIR) motor technology to ensure smooth starting performance with both low and high starting torque options.
Key Operating Limits:
This compressor can perform perfectly well and safely under really tough conditions, even when they are terribly hot, wet, and humid. Its maximum working pressures can be as high as 202psig and its maximum peak pressures can reach as high as 226 psig. The design allows the motor to handle winding temperatures up to 130°C without damage. It requires 280 ml of Ester oil (ISO 10 viscosity) for R-134a systems to ensure proper lubrication and long service life. In addition, it will operate properly at voltages between 98 and 140 volts meaning there is a lot of flexibility based upon the various power conditions available to the unit. In conclusion, this design ensures that the internal components will operate continually without risk of overheating or electrical stress; therefore, providing completely stable operation.
Mechanical Construction and Build Quality
The FFU130HAX features a cylinder size of 10.61 cm³ (0.647 cu.in.) and a factory rating of about 1/3+ HP. It requires 280 ml of Ester oil (viscosity ISO 10) that is used with R-134a systems, providing correct lubrication to achieve a long life. The durable hermetic construction minimizes both noise and vibration, as well as keeps all the internal parts free from contamination.
The mechanical specifications are:
- Bore 26mm
- Stroke 20mm
- Weight (with oil) 10.76 kg
- Nitrogen holding pressure 0.2 to 0.3 kgf/cm²
Electrical Specifications
The FFU130HAX uses a 115-127V, 60Hz single-phase power supply. It uses an MRT26ADK-5590 current relay starting device. This guarantees smooth and reliable starting performance. This model also provides motor protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation over a wide range of load conditions. It has a Locked Rotor Amperage (LRA) of 40.30 A, a Full Load Amperage (FLA-L/MBP) of 6.90 A, a run winding resistance of 4.47, and a start winding resistance of 1.12. A 378-454 µF start capacitor rated for a minimum of 115V is required for proper starting performance. In addition, this unit meets various international safety and quality certification standards, including CE, TUV, UKCA, and UL, which indicates compliance with recognized global safety and quality standards.
Performance and Cooling Capacity
The FFU130HAX provides reliable cooling performance throughout its whole evaporating temperature range when tested under standardized ASHRAE conditions of 115V/60Hz. At 45 degrees C condensing, the cooling capacity of the FFU130HAX varies based upon the evaporating temperature.
This compressor will provide 3461 BTU/hr of cooling capacity at an evaporating temperature of -30°F and 649 BTU/hr at -35°F, proving it to be a good low temperature application compressor. The EERs, and COPs for this compressor vary based on the operating conditions, but overall it has excellent energy performance at low evaporation temperature. It also works well at condensing temperatures of 55C and 65C, and operates consistently at both of those condensing temperatures and during system load increases, making it an excellent selection for both freezers and low temperature refrigeration applications where you depend on stabilized cooling.
External Characteristics and Connections
The compressor has been made with simple installation and servicing in mind, which makes working on the compressor easier for the technician. The compressor uses an 8.2mm copper suction line and 6.5mm copper discharge and process lines connected by straight connectors. The connectors are all sealed with a rubber plug to keep the system clean until it is installed. While the compressor does not include an oil cooler, the strong copper connection allows for solid and dependable brazing resulting in reliable integration into refrigeration systems.
