Built for tradies: The Embraco Aspera NEU6212GK is a compact, hermetic R134a HBP compressor sized for display fridges, reach-ins and small merchandisers. It helps licensed techs get reliable pull-down, fewer call-backs and cleaner installs — no dramas.
With CSIR high start torque, it kicks over on warm heads and tight systems so you’re off the ladder faster and onto the next job. Too easy.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- R134a HBP application — built for merchandisers and reach-ins; stable cabinet temps and fewer nuisance call-backs.
- CSIR high-start-torque motor — clean starts under load in warm shops; reduces breaker trips and “come back tomorrow” headaches.
- Displacement: ~8.77–8.78 cm³ — right in the sweet spot for common single-cabinet duties.
- Factory oil charge: POE ISO 22 (~350 ml) — ready for evacuation and weighed charge on R134a systems.
- Compact UNI base & service stubs — typical stubs: 8.1 mm suction / 6.1 mm discharge & process for quick, clean brazes.
- Lightweight form factor — height ~200 mm, weight ~10.6 kg, easy to handle in tight cavities.
Why This Product Matters
Trade yarn: steamy arvo in Brisbane and the drinks merchandiser kept drifting up around lunch. We swapped in a NEU6212GK, fitted a fresh drier, nitrogen-pressure-tested, pulled to <500 microns and weighed the charge — case temps were back on setpoint before smoko. Fair dinkum difference when the duty and application match.

Pro Tip
Replace the liquid-line drier and purge with nitrogen while brazing. Verify with a decay test after hitting target microns. Log SH/SC and weigh the charge — you’ll cut call-backs and keep customers happy. No worries.
Compatibility & System Info
- Refrigerant: R134a (HBP). Always confirm the engineering code on the nameplate — some NEU6212GK variants are factory-optimised for R404A MBP/HBP.
- Systems: Cap tube or TXV; display fridges, reach-ins, beverage merchandisers.
- Electrical: 220–240 V, 50 Hz, single-phase; CSIR (high start torque). Typical start capacitor: 53–64 µF / 330 V.
- Local note: In Sydney humidity and Perth summer heat, keep condensers clean and confirm fan direction/airflow post-install to keep head pressure sensible.

FAQs
Often, yes if the duty matches. Check base footprint (UNI), tube sizes (8.1/6.1 mm), and capacity at your design temps. Replace the drier, evacuate properly and weigh the charge.
Typical CSIR start cap is 53–64 µF / 330 V. Confirm the supplied kit and the nameplate for your unit.
This listing covers R134a HBP duties. Some engineering codes for NEU6212GK target R404A MBP/HBP — always verify the nameplate and follow AU licensing and the AIRAH code of practice for safety and compliance.
