Copeland RST45C1E-IAV-959 Hermetic Compressor Overview
The Copeland RST45C1E-IAV-959 is a dependable hermetic refrigeration compressor engineered for commercial and light commercial refrigeration applications. Designed to operate on 208/230V power, this unit delivers 4,080 BTU of cooling capacity and is factory-optimized for use with R449A refrigerant — a lower global warming potential (GWP) HFC blend that serves as a high-performance alternative in medium- and low-temperature refrigeration systems.
Key Features
- Voltage: 208/230V for broad compatibility with standard commercial power supplies
- Cooling Capacity: 4,080 BTU for efficient small-to-medium refrigeration loads
- Refrigerant: R449A — a lower-GWP HFC blend suited for commercial refrigeration retrofit and new installations
- Hermetic design for sealed, low-maintenance operation
- Copeland quality engineering for proven reliability and long service life
- Compact form factor suitable for reach-in coolers, display cases, and similar refrigeration equipment
Refrigerant Compatibility
R449A (also marketed as Opteon XP40 and Genetron 449A) is an HFC/HFO blend designed to replace R404A and R22 in commercial refrigeration. It offers a significantly reduced GWP compared to legacy refrigerants while maintaining comparable performance across a wide range of operating temperatures, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious refrigeration system designs and retrofits.
Application
- Commercial reach-in refrigerators and freezers
- Display and merchandising cases
- Light commercial refrigeration systems
- R449A new installations and R404A/R22 retrofit projects
