DANFOSS COMPRESSORS R134A 220-240V LBP

Key Features & Trade Benefits

• R134a-optimised design — engineered for R134a low-to-medium temp use; helps hit target evap temps without stressing the system.
• LBP classification — suitable for low back pressure applications; ideal for freezers and low temp merchandisers where reliability matters.
• 220–240V single-phase — straightforward electrical integration on Aussie sites; faster swaps and less mucking around.
• Hermetic build — sealed motor/compressor unit minimises leak points; fewer nuisance call-outs over time.
• Compact footprint — easier installs in tight cabinets and under-bench fridges; boosts job efficiency.
• Danfoss quality — proven OEM heritage; consistent performance that keeps customers happy and invoices paid.

Why This Product Matters

On a steamy January arvo in Brisbane, a tech swapped one of these into a drinks merchandiser that kept icing up and tripping the overload. With correct charge and a fresh drier, pull-down steadied and case temps held — no worries. That’s the point: predictable performance that cuts repeat visits.

Pro Tip

Always replace the filter-drier and pull a deep vacuum to < 500 microns before commissioning. Log superheat/subcool targets and verify after 20–30 minutes run — it’s a quick habit that saves you from “mystery” call-backs.

Compatibility & System Info

• Refrigerant: R134a
• Duty: LBP (low back pressure); suitable for low to medium temperature applications (check variant sizing/capacity to suit the load).
• Supply: 220–240V, single-phase (50Hz typical). Confirm wiring and protection per model plate.
• Oil: Use OEM-specified lubricant type/charge for the selected model.

Local Use Cases

Great for bottle fridges in Sydney cafés and under-bench chillers in Melbourne kitchens. When you’re up on a roof in 40-degree heat, fast, tidy installs mean you’re down the ladder sooner — fair dinkum.

What’s Included

• 1 × Danfoss hermetic refrigeration compressor (R134a, LBP, 220–240V)
• Mounting grommets/bolts where supplied by the specific variant
• Model plate with electrical and refrigerant data

FAQs

Q1: Will this suit a low temp freezer?
A: Yes — it’s an LBP class compressor intended for low temp duty. Size the capacity to your evap temp and heat load, and replace the drier at install.

Q2: Do I need a hard-start kit?
A: Only if the model plate or application demands it (long lines, marginal supply). If you do, a SUPCO hard-start can help tough starts.

Q3: Does it come pre-charged with oil?
A: Hermetic compressors ship with the correct oil type/volume for the model. Always verify the label and system spec before commissioning.

Q4: Any compliance I should know about?
A: Handling refrigerant requires the appropriate licence in Australia; follow safe work practices and dispose/recover refrigerant correctly.
