Tecumseh AE1250E-212-J7 Compressor
The Tecumseh AE1250E-212-J7 is a trade-grade 1/3 HP reciprocating compressor engineered for HBP/CBP (High/Commercial Back Pressure) applications. Operating on 115V 1 Phase 60Hz power, this unit delivers a 3,987 BTU/hr cooling capacity. Designed for legacy systems utilizing R12 refrigerant, it features High Start Torque (HST) and a RSIR/CSIR induction motor for reliable startups under varying load conditions. The physical footprint includes a 5/16" ODF suction line and a 1/4" discharge line with sweat connections. This standard efficiency compressor is a cross-compatible replacement for several commercial refrigeration platforms, including the Model AE4440A-AA1A, providing consistent thermal management for reach-in coolers and display cases. Properly sizing the capacitor and verifying line set diameters is essential for maintaining the evaporator temperature range required by commercial specifications.
Key Benefits
- High Start Torque (HST): Ensures reliable operation in commercial environments with frequent cycling or high ambient temperatures.
- Versatile Application: Optimized for both High and Commercial Back Pressure systems, providing flexibility across various refrigeration platforms.
- Compact Reciprocating Design: Built-in Tecumseh AE series durability for long-term service in tight mechanical compartments.
- Precise Fitment: Standard 5/16" suction and 1/4" discharge sweat ports facilitate direct brazing without the need for additional adapters.
Common Questions
Is the AE1250E-212-J7 compatible with modern refrigerants?
While originally designed for R12 systems, technicians often use this unit as a drop-in replacement in legacy systems. Ensure oil compatibility and system flushing if transitioning to approved replacement blends.
What are the electrical requirements for installation?
This model requires a 115V single-phase power supply. It is critical to verify the LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) and RLA (Rated Load Amps) against your existing circuit breaker and wiring gauge.
Does this unit come with the electrical components?
Standard configurations include the necessary motor starting components (relay and protector) suited for the RSIR/CSIR motor design to handle high-torque demands.
