Compressor Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-RACLE-12821
Jlab Export is a leading Compressor Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Isobutane, sold as refrigerant R-600a, is the gas this 1/8 hp compressor is built to pump. It is meant for domestic refrigeration and starts through a PTC relay. Still air around the shell keeps it cool (cooling type S), so no fan has to blow over it.

Hydrocarbon Compressor Practicals for Students
R-600a is a flammable hydrocarbon, so a practical on this compressor starts with the safety set-up. The bench is well ventilated, with no flame or spark nearby. Students recover any old charge with the Combustible Gas Recovery Machine, which handles flammable refrigerants such as R-600a.
After purging with nitrogen and brazing in the new compressor and a fresh filter drier, they evacuate the circuit. The charge is then weighed in on the High Precision Charging Scale, which reads to 1 g. During the first run, the Hydrocarbon Manifold Gauges with their R-600a scale show suction and discharge pressures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 1/8 hp tell me?
It is the motor power, one of the smallest sizes used in domestic refrigeration, for a small cooling load such as a compact refrigerator. Always match the horse power and the refrigerant shown on the old compressor label.
What precautions apply to an R-600a compressor?
R-600a is isobutane, a flammable gas. Work in a ventilated area with no flame or spark nearby, use tools made for hydrocarbon refrigerants and never braze on a circuit that still holds gas. Charge by weight, because a domestic system holds only a small charge.
What does the PTC starting relay do?
A PTC relay holds a ceramic part with low resistance when cold, so current flows through the start winding at switch-on. As the current heats it, its resistance rises sharply and the start winding drops out, leaving the run winding in circuit.
What does cooling type S mean?
S stands for static cooling. The natural movement of air around the shell is enough to cool the compressor, so it needs no fan. It does need free air space in the machine compartment.
