When ambient temperatures soar, the compressor working to hold a multi-door freezer at -22°C takes the brunt of the abuse. The NT2180U is purpose-built for these extreme environments. Its robust valve plate design and superior heat dissipation allow it to recover deep freezing temperatures incredibly fast after heavy restocking, ensuring food safety and preventing costly callbacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #007acc; padding-left: 15px; font-style: italic; color: #555; background-color: #f9f9f9; padding: 15px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-style: normal; color: #333;\"\u003eTradie Pro Tip for High-Capacity R290:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eBecause this is a large-capacity compressor, the total system charge will be near the upper limits of R290 safety regulations (typically 150g per circuit for commercial cabinets). Accurate weigh-in using digital scales is absolutely critical. Never unbraze a live R290 system—always recover the gas with an A3-rated recovery machine and purge the lines thoroughly with dry oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) before applying heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #333; border-left: 4px solid #007acc; padding-left: 12px; margin-top: 25px;\"\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Embraco NT2180U Low Temp Compressor (1 HP, R290)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Standard starting components, relays, and capacitors supplied as per factory Embraco packaging.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #007acc; border-bottom: 2px solid #f0f0f0; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 12px; color: #007acc;\"\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 12px; color: #007acc;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand \u0026amp; Model\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003eEmbraco NT2180U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003eLBP (Low Back Pressure) \/ Low Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003eR290 (Propane)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Horsepower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e1 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling Capacity (-25°C)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003eApprox. 900 Watts (Subject to EN12900 rating conditions)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e22.40 cm³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e220-240 V 50 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e17.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #eee; margin: 30px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #007acc; border-bottom: 2px solid #f0f0f0; padding-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 35px;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\" open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background-color: #007acc; color: #fff; padding: 12px 20px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 5px; list-style-position: inside;\"\u003eHow does the NT2180U differ from other Embraco R290 low temp compressors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary difference lies in \u003cstrong\u003ecapacity and physical footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e.
