Treat it with respect. Never unbraze a live system. Always recover the refrigerant safely with an A3-rated recovery machine and purge thoroughly with dry oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN). Because this is a high-capacity 1 1\/4 HP system, accurate weigh-in of the new charge is absolutely critical. Ensure the system design accommodates the strict charge limits for R290, and verify all electrical components are correctly rated and non-sparking.\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 NT6230U Medium Temp Compressor (1 1\/4 HP, R290)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Standard starting components, relays, and covers 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 NT6230U\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;\"\u003eMBP \/ HMBP (Medium\/High Back Pressure)\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 1\/4 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooling Capacity (-10°C)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px;\"\u003eApprox. 2350 Watts\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;\"\u003eApprox. 17.5 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);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"background-color: #007acc; color: #fff; padding: 12px 20px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 5px; list-style-position: inside;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between Medium Temp (MBP) vs Low Temp (LBP), and how does Horsepower (HP) factor into R290 compressors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelecting the right compressor requires understanding three main factors: Application (Temp), Capacity (HP), and Refrigerant (R290).
