Description
The Tecumseh AK172ER-B37-J7 compressor is a single-phase, 230-volt unit intended for use in commercial refrigeration systems. It has a cooling capacity of 6454 BTU and can use either R404A or R507A refrigerant. This type of compressor typically circulates refrigerant through a closed-loop system. The refrigerant absorbs heat from its surroundings in its gaseous state, compresses into a liquid state, releasing heat, and then expands back into a gas, absorbing more heat in the process. The Tecumseh AK172ER-B37-J7 compressor is most likely used in condensing units, which are components of larger commercial refrigeration systems such as walk-in coolers and freezers. The Tecumseh AK172ER-B37-J7 is reliable, efficient, and compatible with a wide range of refrigerants.
