Embraco EMX 6210 U Refrigerator Compressor – R290 Propane, MBP, 1/3 HP, 1,266 W, 9.04 cm³

Embraco EMX 6210 U is a hermetic reciprocating compressor operating with R290 (propane) refrigerant. It belongs to the MBP class and operates in the evaporating range of −20 … +10 °C.

R290 Propane MBP Compressor

R290 is a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 3; it is a future-proof solution compared with the HFC refrigerants restricted by F-gas regulations. Because it delivers the same capacity with a smaller displacement, the compressor is smaller and energy consumption is lower.

Technical Specifications (Official Embraco Data)

• 🚨 R290 is a flammable gas (A3 class): Installation, charging and service must be carried out by a technician trained in hydrocarbon refrigerants, with spark-free equipment and in a ventilated area.
• Electrical components: In R290 systems the relay, overload protector and terminal box must be of the hydrocarbon-compatible (spark-protected) type.
• HST motor advantage: Thanks to its high starting torque, it can also start in systems with an expansion valve (without pressure equalization).
• When replacing the compressor, always renew the filter drier and use the correct oil type for the system.
