Tecumseh RK5EL1AC220J70 Compressor
The Tecumseh RK5EL1AC220J70 is a heavy-duty rotary compressor engineered specifically for air conditioning and heat pump applications using R-22 refrigerant. Running on a 115V single-phase power supply, this hermetic unit delivers a nominal cooling capacity of 11,700 BTU, making it a rugged choice for residential or light commercial service. As a direct factory replacement for Carrier P031-1301, it is also frequently utilized as a functional drop-in for legacy models like the RKB5513EXA and RKA5513EXA. The assembly includes the necessary start capacitor and mounting hardware to streamline field installation. Designed for high efficiency and low vibration, the Tecumseh RK5513E-AA3A architecture ensures reliable heat transfer and refrigerant mass flow in high-ambient conditions. For contractors performing system retrofits or component swaps, this PSC motor compressor provides the thermal performance required to restore O.E.M. specifications in 1.0-ton systems.
Key Benefits- Direct Cross-Reference: Serves as the primary P031-1301 replacement, ensuring mounting compatibility and electrical alignment for Carrier and Bryant equipment.
- Optimized R-22 Performance: Specifically tuned for R-22 systems, maintaining proper oil return and compression ratios in legacy hardware.
- Compact Rotary Design: Small footprint allows for easier fitment in tight condensing unit cabinets compared to older reciprocating alternatives.
- Complete Setup: Shipped with a run capacitor and vibration isolators to reduce field labor and noise levels.
Is this the correct compressor for a 115V Carrier unit?
Yes, if your original part number is P031-1301 or RK5513E-AA3A, this 115V, 1-phase 11,700 BTU unit is the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute.
Which refrigerant does the RK5EL1AC220J70 use?
This model is designed for R-22 refrigerant only. Ensure your system uses 3GS mineral oil or a compatible lubricant before installation.
Are the mounting feet compatible with legacy reciprocating models?
While this is a functional replacement, rotary compressors often have different suction and discharge line orientations. Always verify tubing lines and baseplate dimensions before brazing.
