The Embraco Aspera NT2192GK is a low-back-pressure (LBP) hermetic compressor engineered for R134a low-temperature applications. Ideal for supermarket cabinets, hospitality freezers, and medical chillers, it’s built to run quietly, handle heat, and keep your product at temp—no worries.
Key Features & Benefits
- R134a LBP platform – Optimised for low-temp cabinets and freezers, helping you hit setpoint faster and cut defrost recovery times.
- 220–240V / 50Hz single-phase – Drop-in power compatibility for Aussie jobsites; less mucking around on installs.
- Nominal 1.25 HP class – Solid pull-down capacity for small to mid commercial boxes, so stock stays cold and call-backs drop.
- POE oil charge – Ready for R134a service and modern system materials, with reliable lubrication over long runtimes.
- CSR start gear compatible – Works with common relay/overload setups to deliver dependable starts in tough conditions.
- Compact, service-friendly shell – Fits tight bays and makes swap-outs quicker—bloody good when you’re against the clock.
Why This Product Matters
On a steamy arvo in Cairns, a kebab shop freezer was lagging 6–7°C off setpoint. Swapped in an NT2192GK, weighed in charge, and she’ll be right—box hit temp and held all weekend. That’s the difference a reliable R134a LBP compressor makes when ambient hits 40°C on a roof and the client wants it sorted yesterday.

Pro Tip
When replacing any LBP compressor, always verify system cleanliness and swap the filter-drier. A fresh drier plus a nitrogen sweep during brazing (and deep vacuum) prevents moisture and acids that wreck bearings and windings later.
Compatibility & System Info
- Refrigerant: Optimised for R134a LBP systems (verify refrigerant on the unit nameplate and system design).
- Applications: Freezers, display cases, medical/retail cold storage, small walk-ins (low temp).
- Expansion device: Suits capillary or TXV systems (size to duty and ambient).
Local reference: Whether you’re doing a swap-out in Sydney during a muggy summer or commissioning in wintery Melbourne, the NT platform keeps boxes on spec so your customers don’t lose stock—fair dinkum.

FAQs
Will this replace my existing R134a freezer compressor?
Often, yes—when capacity and electrical specs match. Check your nameplate and compare to the table above. If you’re unsure, reach out and we’ll help size it correctly to avoid nuisance trips and short cycling.
Do I need new start components?
Best practice is to test/replace start and overload components on a new install. If you need parts, see our Relay & Overload Combo.
What else should I replace during a compressor swap?
Always replace the filter-drier and pull a deep vacuum. For a quick refresher on driers, read this helpful blog: Filter driers explained.
Is it compliant for Australian worksites?
Yes—installation and handling must be carried out by licensed techs under Australian refrigerant regulations and relevant AS/NZS standards (see authoritative link below).
