Carrier P031-7171 Compressor
The Carrier P031-7171 is a high-capacity reciprocating compressor engineered for commercial air conditioning and heat pump applications requiring 460V, 3-phase power. Delivering a nominal 71,280 BTU (approx. 6 tons), this Tecumseh-branded OEM replacement is built to maintain tight tolerances and high volumetric efficiency in demanding R-22 or compatible drop-in replacement systems. Contractors and technicians rely on this hermetic compressor for its robust internal line break overload protection and integrated pressure relief valve, which safeguard the motor against thermal stress and excessive discharge pressures during extreme high-ambient operation.
With an 11.8 RLA rating and 60 Hz frequency, the Carrier P031-7171 provides a reliable drop-in solution for various HVAC split systems and packaged units. Its design focuses on reducing vibration and acoustic levels, ensuring stable operation even in space-constrained cabinets. This 71,280 BTUH compressor features 7/8 inch suction and 1/2 inch discharge connections, facilitating a standard brazing process for rapid field installation. By prioritizing mechanical longevity and consistent compression cycles, this unit minimizes downtime and ensures the system returns to its original cooling and heating performance specifications.
Key Benefits- High Cooling Capacity: Rated at 71,280 BTU to provide reliable thermal management for large-scale residential or light commercial systems.
- Enhanced Motor Protection: Features an internal line break overload to prevent burnout during electrical anomalies or phase loss.
- Reduced Operational Noise: Specifically balanced to lower vibration, which extends the life of copper refrigerant lines and reduces customer noise complaints.
- Precision OEM Fit: Designed as a direct replacement for multiple Carrier and Tecumseh part numbers, including GB40NA001 and P031-7271, ensuring no modifications are needed during install.
Is the Carrier P031-7171 compatible with R-410A systems?
No, this specific reciprocating model is designed for R-22 refrigerant or specific mineral oil-compatible alternatives. Check the existing oil type and system pressure ratings before installation.
What is the primary cause of failure for this 3-phase compressor?
Phase imbalance or single-phasing is a common killer. Always verify that your incoming 460V power is balanced and that the contactor points are clean to prevent voltage drops that lead to premature winding failure.
Does this unit require a specific start kit?
As a 3-phase compressor, it inherently provides high starting torque (HST) and typically does not require a start capacitor or relay, provided the power supply is stable.
